Wait a moment, i think the problem here is with the Ethernet wiring. Ok, can you answer me this question. When you have the router connected, do you have it plugged into the modem with 1 cable, nothing else connected, split, etc or not? You only have 1 IP address (normally), you cannot just split the ethernet connection to 2 devices. Its a digital signal, you cannot just split it. I apologise if i have mis-understood you, but if this is the way you have it set up, its not going to work.
