If you have attempted to change any of the settings on the router, do a complete reset on it, so it's back to factory default. Then do nothing else but power it down.

Now power down the modem, and your computers. Disconnect any ethernet and USB connections that are made into the modem and PC.

Now connect the ethernet port of the modem to the WAN port of the router by ethernet cable. Then connect the ethernet port of one of the 4 LAN ports on the router to the ethenet port on one computer.

Power up modem, let settle, power up router, let settle, power up computer. Hopefully you can now use the internet.

If after following, exactly, the above, you cannot connect, try swapping the ethernet cable between modem and router (powering all down). If there is still a problem, please confirm the model of your modem, and also if you are able to connect, without the router, using ethernet direct between modem and PC.
