It was an odd thing that seemed to fix it. I reset both router and
modem about 10 times, in different orders, to no avail. The router
was working, but would not receive info from the modem. I finally
just gave up and sat in the living room with a laptop on my lap and
starting watching TV. Five minutes later, my blank internet screen
had a popup that said "Do you want to connect to *&%$@&^%&*" (some
sort of jibberish). I wasn't about to choose "no", so I clicked on
OK. And CNN.com popped up on my laptop. Once my laptop started
working, I went to the desktop and it started working as well.
Spooky, but there was a delay during which nothing worked, and then
it just seemed to wake up.

Could be some kind of timer built into the firmware that causes the
router to release the old IP address and get a new one on its own if it
can't connect. Resetting the router might not purge the old IP address.
