Every time you change (swap) the device that is directly connected to the modem by ethernet, or USB, be that a computer, games console or router, the modem needs to be powered off, for a few seconds, then powered up again. Once the modem has powered up then the device connected to it can be powered on.

Only one device can be directly connected to the modem. If you computer is connected by USB you need to unplug that before you connect the router by ethernet.
