WRT54G wireless is trying to load but doesn't get anywhere!

I have a macbook and a WRT54G with the latest firmware (just updated) and my router just stopped working out of the blue.  With airport on, it says I have full signal level and its logged into my account...when you attempt to load a page, it just keeps trying to load but it either doesn't get anywhere, or takes 10-15 minutes to load a little bit of the site (google).  Hard connection from comcast modem works fine so I know it isn't my Internet connection.
 I also have a hard line from the WRT54G to my DirectTV box, which I connected to my macbook and that doesn't work either, so I think I've eliminated a wireless only problem.  Do these things just crap out sometimes or am I missing something?  I tried with tech support and they couldn't seem to help.

When you Hardwired your computer to the Router are you able to Browse Internet on your Computer ? Since you have upgraded the firmware on your Router, have you Resetted your Router and Re-Configure all the settings on it back again. If not then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
