I am connected to my router wirelessly, when I try to ping it, it says "Destination host unreachable, and I can't do anything internet related. I've tried restarting my computer, taking the power cables out of the router and then replugging, and using the repair function. It says I'm connected at "Excellent" strength, but a little window comes up and says "Little to no connectivity" and I can't do shit. This happened recently, and I wasn't fucking with it or anything. I'm on someone elses computer on the same network, but it actually works.

Well you should know what the DHCP range for your network is. Go to the routers config page and see what IP DHCP starts at, and how many IPs it should be leasing. If your IP is out of that range, it isn't going to work.
What is your routers IP?
Paste this ( cmd /k ipconfig /all ) into to run and it'll tell you your IP.

Alright, I'm assuming that you are XP sp2. I have had this same problem with my wireless router and have found out it's a service pack problem which is going to be fixed in the future. I have read many, many, complaints and stories about how to fix it. But the one fix that I have had that works EVERY time is to turn off, (Not restart) your computer, and unplug the power plug. Wait about 20 seconds, plug back in and start er up. Should be working.
Hope it helps, always works in my case.
If not, tell me your router/O.S./ all the rest of the good shit.
