hmmmm i'm thinking your router might be pooched. As a last ditch effort you can try updating the firmware if you haven't done so already?

The firmware was already updated with the latest version.

Here are a few things I noticed, mayeb it will mean something to someone.

When connected directly, the conenction speed is 10/Mbps, when connected through the router(even tho it doesn't work), it says 100/Mbps.

When I try to ping google, it says "Network unreachable".

That's fairly typical. Most modem ports are only 10mbps as most DSL/Cable connections are slower than that. The router ports are standard 100 mbps ports. If you haven't already, can you check the modem's IP, then connect the router and check to see if that's the IP it's using as a gateway?

if I read correctly the gateway it uses is 0.0.0.0 which is clearly not the IP address I have with my modem.

I've been using that router and modem for 3+ years I believe...

Anyway, the modem is a samsung and the router is a Linksys is a WRT54G v4. I have reseted the modem I believe, but I will try again.
