You need a router with an Ethernet WAN port that connects to your new modem with an Ethernet cord.

Most routers with an integrated modem (combined modem/routers) do not offer an Ethernet WAN port, and are not compatible with the configuration you require. A very few modem/routers, such as the BT home hub 4 in the UK, offer both Ethernet and ADSL WAN connections (only one of which can be used at a time).

You will probably have to buy a new router with an Ethernet WAN port.

I hope this helps.
