Is it possible to connect it to ethernet instead? Much fewer headaches. There's absolutely no good reason to give a modem a USB jack instead of an ethernet one.

use the route command and give the neccessary submask/subnet route and check whether still internet is getting or not

more over check ifconfig for correct device and add route to that device only
