Linksys Router Not Working with Motorola Cable Modem?

Purchased the motorola SB5101U modem so i dont have to pay the monthly leasing fee. I called support and gave them my acct number and mac address etc and then installed the modem. It didnt work at first... the online light wouldn't show on... then it did and now it works for wired internet.

However, when i plug my linksys router the same way into it like the old time warner cable road runner rca modem... wireless doesn't work at all.

Can someone tell me why? It keeps saying looking for internet access...

Try factory resetting the router.
I am assuming you have power cycled it.

Did you power cycle the modem after plugging your router in?
