It can only be one of the 3:

1.  Router configuration
2.  Modem/ISP
3.  The remote location

Be at this I would try reconfiguring the router first as the main issue.

I can't ping my router either especially when that router belongs to my next door neighbor.

LOL

Your linksys has an spi and by default it does not allow any response to icmp on the wan port.  You have to manually configure it to respond to icmp on the wan port.

You can't ping your router via wifi.
