    It should do that automaticly. Once you connect to your router, and its connected to the modem, then your pc should be connected to the internet.

    If that doesnt work then try resetting the router while the modem is pluged into the router. Then if that doesnt work then try upgrading the router firmware. but that shouldnt make a difference.
