Thanks so much for the easy-to-understand explanation! I will try that and already tried parts of it. Right now the ASUS router only has internet connectivity if I connect it on the WAN port. When I plug the cable coming from the modem into the ASUS' LAN I don't have internet access. Not sure why though?

Be sure to follow all the steps and connect LAN port to LAN port. Do not use the ASUS WAN port in this setup.

I tried it exactly like described, there is one issue: if I set the ASUS to "router-mode", it only works if connected to the WAN port (with package loss). If I connect it to the LAN, I won't have an internet connection (it looks for a modem, not a modem+router to be connected to). If I set the router to "AP-Mode" (connected via LAN port) it works but most of the ASUS functionality (Firewall, etc) is disabled. What am I supposed to do? Thanks!

I think at this point you should try a different router. This should be straightorward with any ordinary router. You might ask ASUS support to see if you have the correct device for the situation.
