How do I connect my motorola modem to my linksys router?

I have a linksys router and recently moved into an apartment. I have the modem from SBC which is a motorola modem. But I am not sure how I can connect everything so I can use my laptop wirelessly. I moved from my parents house where I connected my router to my parents computer to get on the internet. But now I am not sure how to connect it with no other computer or a phone line.How do I connect my motorola modem to my linksys router?
connect a phone line from the phone jeck into the modem. connect the ethernet line from the modem to the linksys ethernet port.



(The linksys wire lesss router has 5 ports 4 are beside each other other and one is little fit further away it is called internet. connect in this) you will see the internet line in you router turn on.



Than if you have a desktop you can connect the blue ethernet wire that you got when you purchase the linksys to one of the 4 ethernt ports in your router and than to the ethernet port on your desktop



to set up wireless for laptop, you need more than router.

you need an adapter for laptop. you need to install this to your laptop and than you will be able to connect wirelessly

connect the cat 5 cable from the modem to the router...



modem out to router ';wan'; or ';input'; or something similar.. and you should be golden
just plug it in. I run two laptops off cable internet. If you really do not know how to hook it up when the people come to install your internet ask them for help.
I have the same type of modem and router..all you do is pop in the CD that came with it and follow the instructions exactly...but you have to use Ethernet and not the usb cable!
