Cloning the Mac of the PC to the router shouldn't be necessary. It used to assist with the older Set Top Box type broadband services, where the MAC of the connected device had to be "registered", but that process doesn't take place with modems.

You have rebooted (power cycled) the cable modem when swapping from direct modem <> PC ethernet, to the modem <> router <> PCs setup?
