Mike,

I don't know you, but I suggest that you slow down and take a couple of
deep breaths.

Think before panicking.

You are tearing things up faster than you or anyone can possibly deal
with them.

You seem to have internet connections. I base this on the communications
you are generating.

You changed something and now you seem to have networking problems.
Then you reset your router.
Now you are talking about replacing your modem/router. Isn't it working?
Aren't you on line? or are you using a phone for e-mail.

It makes a difference in working toward a solution.

Now you are asking for network help for a computer issue?
Is the computer futzed up. or have the network settings been futzed up?

Futzed? I am trying to be polite.

Remember, If It Ain't Broke Don't Futz With It

Figure out what your problem is first, by thinking, looking (did I plug
the right shit into the right places? Did I break a wire in one of my
connectors? Did I damage a port?)

Then go from there.
