From your pc connect the yellow lead to the ethernet port ( the one the blue lead is in now). The other end goes into a Lan port on the router.
(there are 4 grouped close together ).
Connect the blue cable from the modem to the Wan port on the router (the 5th one slightly apart from the others).
Finally start with everything turned off, power up the modem and wait a min or 2 then power up router and pc & laptop.

The blue cable currently connected from my black wired cable router to my PC isn't rj45 - it's USB???

ok, to summarise...
I have home PC and laptop
Home PC connected to black Motorola surfboard SB5101E cable modem.
White NTL box on wall is hard wired to black motorola modem via 'cable'
blue USB cable leads from motorola to usb in PC
Modem is power asyou'd expect
internet conection fine on pc via this motorola cable modem.
netgear virign wgr614 v9 wireless router is powered and connected by ethernet cable from 'internet port' on netgear to 'ethernet' port on motorola cable modem.
Ethernet cable then plugged into lan port 1 on netgear but nowhere for it to go because pc doesn't have ethernet port (it's an older machine) - should I plug it into the ethernet port on the laptop?
