A couple of basics:

When you first connect your new router to the modem, you are powering the modem off - it cant "see" the router otherwise, and you've obviously disconnected you PC from the modem.

Can you first get a wired connection between your PC <> router <> modem <> internet working, before you then try to add in the wireless?
