Internet connection slow after connecting directly to computer?

I have a cable internet connection. And I used to have a router in the loop and was connected wirelessly and the internet speed was great. My sister had to take the router to her house, and now my computer is directly connected to the modem, and the internet speed is terribly slow. Could there be some kind of registry, driver, or network configuration problem that is causing this?

Here’s a quick fix:

Power off the modem, wait at least 2 minutes (This means unplug it from the wall).
Plug the modem back in after the 2 minutes (This will force a handshake between the provider and you computer).

Please feel free to contact me on messenger if you need more help.
