Connect PC to router via ethernet, open internet explorer and type the IP address for the router config page (see manual but may be 192.168.1.1) in the addess bar.
Popup box will ask for name and password - see manual again but unless you have not already changed it, will be admin/admin (remember to change the password once you've sorted everything else out!).
One of the config tabs will ask if you want to spoof the MAC address. You have the option of letting the router do it automatically or for you to enter it manually. If you let the router do it, it will use the MAC address of the Ethernet port - you do NOT want it to do this, so enter the MAC address of the USB port manually, then save changes (bottom of screen).
Power everything down then power up the modem, wait until it stabilises, then the router, again wait until it stops flashing, then the PC.
Sit back, or go and make a cuppa, until the ENET light comes on the modem. You should now be connected. If not, go back into the router settings and renew DHCP.

just cant get them to work! i cannot have my ethernet connection and the internet connection running at the same time regardless of whether or not the ethernet cable is connected - is this normal? i know that you cant have two connections running through the modem btw...
