I've gone through two routers this past week, both Netgear. Laptop is windows 8.1 and desktops are windows 7, also Android(2.3 as well as 4.0.4) phones won't connect either. One desktop is wireless and the other is wired, EVERYTHING says no internet access.

I had the v9 version for 5 years and it worked perfectly fine since 2009. The other one I picked up cheaply is the v5 version.
Everything will connect to the routers at full wifi levels but the yellow exclamation mark comes up saying no internet access.
At the moment I'm hard wired into the modem with my laptop and it's working fine. I don't understand what could have happened. I upgraded to 50 mb/s speeds this month and never got my right speed, my internet company is Zito Media (formally Windjammer) which looking online doesn't have the best rep.
They told me they're going to have to put in new lines on Tuesday April the 1st because there's not enough bandwidth in the area or something.
If ANYBODY can please help me I'll be eternally grateful. I admit I have a limited knowledge of networking stuff, but I never changed anything and the router worked all week long till now and the other one worked fine for 5 years straight.
I called Zito Media and asked them if they could have possibly done something like sent a signal or changed some setting that would have made my modem not want to give internet access to my router but they said they didn't. It sounds extremely suspicious to me though because RIGHT when I got off the phone with customer service both times, POOF there went the router. I spent the whole day last saturday on google trying various things and nothing fixed it....My brain is fried and I am at a total loss for what could be wrong...
