Question : I can't bypass Speedstream 5100 PPPOE setup

I have a Speedstream 5100 DSL modem with SBC DSL. I've been using a Netgear WIFI Router for the past year until last night. The problem is, the modem will now only work with a PPPOE connection and when it's directly connected to the pc. Whenever I try to plug the modem into the router, neither detects that the cable is even plugged in. Is there anyway to bypass the PPPOE and get back my original config.
