Hi, it would appear that perhaps the router you currently hold is for a DSL connection rather than a Cable connection.

You'd just plug an RJ-45 cable from the ethernet port on the modem to the WAN port on the router. If your WAN port is a smaller version of this ethernet socket, it is an RJ-11 port and this is for ADSL only (internet provided over a BT phone line).
