Unplug your laptop from the router and use the wireless.

If not get hold of the ISP's support team. Once you have the single laptop working with the ISP's modem, and you can access the web okay, then you can include the Belkin router and connect both laptops to it.

Once that is done, disconnet the laptop and connect wirelessly. Physically plug one of their laptops directly into the router and just configure the network like you would from a PC.

If not, you'll have to use an ethernet cable for the laptops. It would be a good idea to setup up the router using a network cable anyway. Make sure the router will give out IP addresses and DHCP is turned on. Is the Belkin router a wireless? If not, you'll have to use an ethernet cable for the laptops.
