connect the modem to the LAN port, connect computers, printer, etc to the remaining ports.
Turn the power off on the modem, router and any computers/printers connected to the router. Wait about 30 seconds then turn the modem and router back on, wait about 30 seconds and turn on your computers. That should be sufficient to get you going.
Good Luck

Most routers have a port labeled WAN or INTERNET. This is usually the first or last port and might be noticeably separate from the others. You cable/DSL modem gets plugged in to that port. You computer will get plugged in to any of the other ports.

Coaxial cable/phone cable goes to modem.
Cat 5 goes from modem to router.
Cat 5 also goes from router to computer Ethernet port.
