Imho you're not done yet. Try to switch back to the ethernet cable. See if 
the ether cable is twisted (it should be straight through but check your 
modem docs). The 'solid' light simply means the connection is saturated. 
This is not good imho. It should flicker indicating some spare time on 
the link. For me switching from USB to ethernet on a Terayon cable modem 
jumped the speed from 75k to 100k (long time average). And the light 
flickers, it's not steady on. Maybe your modem is different.
