What IP range are you using on your router? If you're going to use the 192.168.0.0/16 range, then it's a good idea to pick a random higher subnet to avoid conflicting with ISP provided equipment or other sites if you use VPN. If the modem is providing the same subnet that your router is, then the routing will get confused.
the equipment on my wired LAN, to workaround the problem I have moved the ISP input from the WAN jack to one of the Ethernet output ports, the router is doing nothing but acting as a "switch" or hub, a straight through Ethernet adapter does about the same thing. That bypasses all the logging features that I must have to regulate usage ...
Since this is working, that suggests that the previous theory is correct. Unless you disabled dhcp on your router, it will be providing IP addresses still and since things are working, the addresses must be compatible.
If you find out that this is the case, then change the dhcp range on your router and you should be able to go back to using the WAN port.
