Yes, indeed.
Firstly, the leads. Cable (like an RF lead) goes into back of modem.
Ethernet cable comes from back of modem into the 'internet' port of router. Another Ethernet cable comes out of port 1 (I have tried other ports in case this is faulty) of router's four ports, and into the PC. The Router and Modem also have power leads (I know that seems obvious, but I am trying to cover all bases, in case I have missed something obvious.
Now for the lights...
MODEM
power: ON, STATIC
usb: OFF
ethernet: ON (occasionally flashes)
send: Occasionally flashes on, once every few seconds, but mostly off
receive: OFF
sync: ON, STATIC
ready: ON
ROUTER
orange rectangular light: ON STATIC
power: ON
dmz: OFF
wlan: ON, STATIC
Ethernet 1: ON, STATIC (2, 3 and 4 OFF)
internet: ON, STATIC
The modem lights are different when the router is removed and previous set-up replaced, such as now. The Ethernet, send and receive all flash intermittently, whereas the receive is always 'off' when the router is connected.
