Can you access the router's setup page? Typically something like 192.168.1.1. I'm wondering if you have some sort of DNS problem, or some other minor incorrect setting in your ISP configuration. SOmetimes everything isn't passed along through DHCP(both on the router's WAN settings and your wifi card...)
