the WAN port is connected to the modem via a cat5e cable

the port 1 is 1 0f 4 ports connected to computer via a cat5e cable

The cable should not matter. There is obviously a configuration problem. Try a hard reset on the router and see if that works. Also try cloning the MAC of the modem into the router. And make sure you power cycle. All off, the modem first, router, then pc.
