How can I connect my router and Motorola Cable Modem to each other w/o an ethernet cord?

There is only 1 ethernet jack in the motorola modem, and that goes directly to my computer, but to use wifi, my router must be connected to the modem as well. I have a linksys router. Is there any other plug I could use to connect the two?

Shutdown all devices, unplug the cable from your computer and plug it into the router. Now plug the other cable into the router and into your computer. This gives a connection from modem to router and router to computer. Start the modem, wait for the lights to stay lit, then power up the router, give it a minute and then start the computers. You should now have a connection on all devices.
