As far as I can see the lights on both the router and modem are ok. The router has:
power: on
DMZ: off
1: off
2: off
3: off
4: off
Internet: on
Modem has:
power: on
usb: on / off according to whether i yank it out or not
enet: on
send: flashing a little bit
recv: flashing a little bit
sync: on
ready: on

well, that implies you have an active physical connection, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.  Can you plug a pc directly into the ethernet port on the modem (where the wireles router currently is)?

welp, guess that makes that pointless. Other than switching out the actuals cat5 cable there's not much else to try. Your issue is somewhere there...either the ethernet jack on the cable modem, the cable, or the ethernet jack on the wireless router. Probably, unless it's a software issue, but I doubt that after your resets.

Atleast the quality of routers has improved somewhat. A few years ago 4 out 5 were broken by default.

Okay, so the webz is back up.
I got an ISP technican down here on the excuse that the modem was fucked. Hardware was fine. He dicked about with stuff i couldnt understand and installed some new modem drivers. Lo and behold its fixed.

/me is amazed at Derf's high end technical prowess
So did he load a new firmware on the modem? Or the router? Or drivers on the PCs? I'm kinda curious what the problem is
/me has a degree in computer networking

he said he wiped some settings that were in control panel -> network settings. Must have had some bogus shit in there.

Well sometimes we need a pair fresh eyes to point out the obvious.
