How to set up wireless router without modem using Hotwire Communications internet?

We just moved into a new apartment. In our old place, we had Comcast cable internet with a modem and our wireless router worked fine. Now with Hotwire, we can't get the router to work. Here are the details:
-We can plug our computer directly into the ethernet cable outlet in the wall and it connects.
-We didn't get a modem from Hotwire.
-Wireless router: Linksys WRT54G

We've tried already to change router back to default factory settings. Didn't work. We reset our passwords for the router. Didn't work. Tried to put in the MAC address of the computer and it didn't seem to work. We originally were able to connect a computer to the internet through the router but just the wireless section didn't work. Now with all of our fiddling it's not working at all - even when we plug into it. Do we need to buy a modem? A newer router?

Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated!
