Struggling to install WNR2200

I'm currently using DGB111G and want to upgrade to WNR2200

Following the instructions I'm confused when it asks me to connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the Modem and the Router. I thought both these were the same thing.

When I search 'Modem' I get 'Router' and when I search 'Router' I get 'Modem'

Is the modem a completely different device to the router?

When I set it up I have the home network connected, however it's not finding the Internet which is obviously something to do with the yellow Ethernet cable.


Do I need something else to install this?

Thanks.
