Ok, First thing is you do not want to connect the Cable modem to your computer using USB anymore. The purpose of the router is to make sharing a internet connection easy, and the way you have it connected right now takes experience and knowledge of networking to get it going.
If your modem only has a USB connection get rid of it and get one with a ethernet connection.
This is how you want to connect everything.
-Cable from the wall to the Broadband Modem
-Ethernet Cable from the modem to the routers WAN (Internet) Port
-Ethernet cable from the routers ethernet port to computers ethernet port (This connection is only needed for the initial router configuration. After you have configured the router you can unplug it and go wireless)
Thats it. Now just follow the installation guide for the router to connect to your internet ISP and thats it.

i think you will need to get an ethernet modem to connect to the router
