I thought cable modems completely reset themselves after being unplugged for a minute or two. It seems weird to me that your wireless router won't work with the cable modem plugged directly into it.

Also, I take it the router is in an incovenient place for you to run a long ethernet cable to your computer?

GL to you. I'm going to my gf's family's place for the holidays and they don't have wireless. I'm bringing my laptop and a long ethernet cable... hopefully I'll be able to work something out.
