@Iutcal,

 

Just to verify, if you connect a PC directly hardwired to the Motorola MG8702 modem router, are you able to access the internet just fine?

Firstly should I use the ip of my router or the ip of the WAC or some mystical ip I have which I have no clue about.

You can set the IP Address of the Motorola MG8702 modem router as the default gateway.  For the DNS Address, you can use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.

Secondly when I use the ip of my motorola for all 3 fields I get the "Invalid gateway IP Address" message but no information on why it is invalid. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure what are the "3 fields" you are referring to.  Is this on the web-GUI of the WAC124?  Kindly post a screenshot of it as well as the screenshot of the error message.
