You may have to reboot your modem, check the back there should be a small hole on the back. Use a paper clip to press the hidden button, keep the button pressed for al least 15 seconds. The modem should reset and pull a new IP from your ISP provider.
Many ISP's require the MAC of any new device you connet to the modem this is done by reseting the modem.

Hello and welcome to the forums.
Good advice from helpifIcan (rebooting your entire network, including PC, Router and ISP provided device)
I actually had one of those routers and ultimately determined that the WAN port went intermittent and would not reliably connect to the internet or forward DNS queries for FQDN resolution.
If both (all) computers connected to and using the router are experiencing the same issue and you have tried the network reboot as suggested by helpifIcan then you may have a similar issue with that router.
Have you checked with Linksys to see if they have a firmware update specific to that model and Revision number?
Regards
Randy
