idk that worked for me when mine broke.  I kept using .net

No one really uses the internet very much anymore anyways.  I'd just sell the stuff.

Ya its plugged in, the modem seems to be receiving but not sending.  The "ok" light won't come on.  This is all very racist.

'Clams, here is the last ditch effort.  If it doesn't work, you are buying a new router/modem:

1. look on the back or bottom of the router for a very small hole.  It will be roughly the size of the end of a paper clip.

2. get a paper clip

3. straighten the paper clip enough to poke something with it

4. put the end of the paper clip in the hole you found in step #1 and hold it there for 5-10 seconds. 

This will perform a hard reset on the router/modem.

The router will take a few seconds to go through it's start up.

After that is the moment of truth.  Either it works or you are buying a new router.

Never mind, MAC can read fat32. I'm not sure it can use the windows sharing.
