Never mind. I rebooted the router and it works now. I've noticed

You'd think a top of the line router could get that right :-(.
We've got a few unmanaged netgear switches here and have had some
weirdness ourselves. I have lossely discovered that having my Mac on
both ethernet and wifi at once causes the LAN to go sour.

Huh? Am I misinterpreting? The MAC is supposed to be world-wide unique
to each interface. There are a couple of situations where this can
accidentally happen, like VMware using the same poorly-chosen random MAC
for two VMs that breaks everything on that vSwitch, but that's the only
one that I've ever encountered. Having the same MAC on two interfaces is
not legal, so you should expect to break something on any router or
machine that I can think of. If it works, then that router is broken.
