Try power-cycling your setup
If you don't know what I mean by this, just follow these steps in this order:

1. Power everything down (modem, router and ALL computers involved)
2. Wait at least one full minute
3. Power the modem back on and wait for it to cycle through its startup sequence. You should see the lights come on, one at a time, then start to flash.
4. Power on the router.
5. Power on the computers, starting with the ones connected via ethernet (wired) and ending with the wireless ones.

This sequence should allow your computer(s) to pull fresh DHCP and allow them to connect to the internet at the same time.
