Right that's a problem between router and computer they aren't communicating. Nothing (yet) to do with the modem.

1) try a different ethernet cable between the two.

2) Check your network card's settings (network connections). Is stuff set to auto for the TCP/IP (good), or is there a fixed IP (you don't want that).

3) Have you got any firewalls or similar running on the computer? Occasionally they can interfere.
