The modem may be remembering the MAC address of the computer, and only
allowing that device access.

Try power-cycling the cable modem after you've connected it to the WAN
port on the router. If the modem has a battery back-up (usually only
if you have telephone service from the cable company) you'll need to
disconnect the battery as well while power is off.

I have to do that when I visit my parent's place and want to hook up
a wireless router for my laptop.
