Assume youve rebooted the router? If so have you checked the connection status & logs on your routers admin page (normally 192.68.0.1 by default)?

That should be 192.168.0.1... Simon missed a "1" out.

yeah i reset the router but still not working and on the status page for the router it says everything is fine beats me

 

have you rebooted the modem since you changed it back ?
Some modem hold onto the mac address of the first device they use.
