Router Problems

[AL-]

Ok I have a edimax BR6204WG 4 port router! which was and has been working fine for over a 1yr.. now last week the internet connection went down? Found out it was the cable splitter for the net and Tv replaced that! and since then I cannot connect to the internet via the router..the only way I can access is putting my ethernet cable, from my PC directly into my Motorola SB5100 Modem.. I can access the router via the usual 192.168.x.x all the settings are the same.. Im sure Im having problems with the DNS.. I have tried changing the DNS I even tried using a free DNS.. but still nothing is working.. so Im lost any help would be greatly appriciated! let me know if you need anything else towards sorting it out thanks...

Which OS are you running on the PC?

When connected up via the router, open up a command prompt/terminal;

ping 209.85.171.100

ping 74.125.45.100

if you get valid replies, then you have Internet connectivity, in the same command prompt/terminal window, try;

ping google.com

if that DOESN'T give you a similar response then you possibly have a DNS issue. Change your PC's DNS settings to (OpenDNS - known to be working atm);

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Repeat above ping tests.
