You need to connect an ethernet cable between the modem and the router's WAN port. You will need to power the modem off and then on when swapping any cable to it.

You will be able to connect, wired, your PC to the router. Use a standard ethernet cable with an ethernet to USB adaptor. Those are available from decent computer shops. However if you need to buy one of these adaptors it's probably cheaper, and more reliable to but an ethernet adaptor card and fit that to a spare slot in your PC.

The alternative connection between your PC and the router is the wireless connection using your USB adaptor. However it is easier to configure the router with a wired connection first of all.
