That is a nice little router, I've installed that very model at one of our customer's homes. When you configure the router you're going to assign an X# port to the WAN (generally X0) and you will plug your cable modem there. I've done a bit of work on these devices, if you're 100% stumped on it, let me know and I'll help you out.
For your old Trendnet router, does it support DD-WRT? Might want to look into changing to that firmware. Thanks!
