Ok here is what you do. Are you sure the onboard ethernet died. I never seen that happen before. I seen it where it says its connected but with limited connectivity. Try uninstalling the drivers for the ethernet device and reinstall them first. And if its Really dead. Go into BIOS and Disable the Onboard Ethernet. Then go buy a Wireless G or Wireless N card Depending on what the router says it supports. Install New ethernet card into pci slot. Install Drivers and you should be connected just fine.

on condition which you would be able to span an UTP class 5 cable out of your cable modem on your room and there remains un-occupied ethernet LAN port. you need to use that, so which you do no longer would desire to apply your instant card rather of employing your community card (NIC). or you will desire to purchase a instant router.

Borrow a laptop or computer from someone to configure your router with.
Or replace the motherboard yourself.
