You verified which wifi network you are connecting to? Just want to make
sure you aren't accidentally picking up a neighbor's network. Does it
have a unique name? There are a lot of wifi networks out there called
Linksys or the like.

What have you tried so far? I assume you tried turning the wifi off and back on
again? Did you try and renew DHCP Lease (unter the TCP/IP tab in the advanced
settings)? Can you get the IP address, subnet mask, router and DNS address from
one of your working devices, turn that device off and then manually config that
on your Mac's wifi to see if that works?

Hi. I've already tried the manual route; as stated, all other choices beside DHCP are
dimmed, and I don't know why. As for the router, the documentation is not accessible, so
I have no clue how to go about updating the firmware. All other devices in the house are
connecting just fine, and the WiFi is showing on my status menu as present and on, but
there is a "self-assigned IP address" and it says it cannot connect to the
Internet. I cannot figure out how to change this IP address. I cannot erase it. I am at a
complete loss.

It sounds like there is some bad interaction between your Mac's DHCP client and
your router's DHCP server since your upgrade. If your ISP already knows about
it, presumably they already know about it.
Do you have control over the router? If it has firmware, you should try to
locate the latest version, and upgrade it. If the router is crippled by design
because your ISP has control over it, my recommendation would be to buy your
own router.
You could try setting your IP address manually. In System Preferences,
Network, you select your interface, then choose to configure IP manually; if
it's not on the main screen, press Advanced and it's there on the TCP/IP tab.
You've got to use an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your other
devices; pick an IP not likely to be used, like near the end of your range.
You could use Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) until you learn the addresses of
other servers of your ISP, if desired.
