When I'm not volunteering my time to Graal, I'm an on-call Computer Technician, Programmer, Web Developer, Networking Tech, and so on for a small company. Oh yeah I get to work from home too. So it's a pretty sweet deal I have going on.
But as I edited into my post I had a service call today with the double NAT issue and based on their configuration before they had been working fine until (as expected) we installed a new computer. So it's not surprising that one day it can (without reason) stop working.
Your modem (that's also acting as a router) is probably running fine and doesn't need to be replaced but the router is what's causing your issues. If your computer is connected with an ethernet cable to your router, you should be able to just take that cable out and plug it directly in the modem provided they're close enough to each other.
If it works directly I would recommend just trying the cautionary steps, I listed in my previous post. It's not all that scary as it sounds. Worst case you do a factory reset on your router and plug the cables back in to the places they were before.
