well I typed up a whole post and then lost connection. Here are the main points.
Remove USB cable, unless there is something physically wrong with your RJ45 port on modem, it has no reason to be there.
Try resetting router via pinhole on back.
Try power cycling your modem, router and computer. Turn power off and reconnect them one by one. turning power on after each device fully connected.
Make sure you are not using crossover cables for anything, the colours of the wires should not be mixed up.
See if your wireless works, if it does it eliminates your modem as the cause.
