I'm pretty sure my onboard lan is dorked. Doesn't connect in windows or ubuntu, other computer connected to the router, tried different cables. Also tried reinstalling drivers in windows.
The only strange part is this happened a while ago and when I replaced the router, it started working again. Obviously, I can't just keep getting new routers, but is there anything I should try before buying a pci network card?

Do you still have the old router to test that? Does your motherboard have onboard WiFi, if so, test that. (Just to see if it works, not pushing you to use WiFi, I also prefer wires  ) Done the usual boring stuff like latest drivers and firmware?

You mentioned another computer: Does that one connect to the internet? Also: Can you ping the router from the PC with the problems?

A PCI network card is valued at less than the time it would take to diagnose any issues. They're cheap as chips.

Yeah I'm really pretty sure it's dead, it doesn't have a connection at all, like the lights on the router don't show up. The only thing that's making me think twice is the fact that this happened once, and then rectified itself. I guess that's the kind of thing that faulty hardware does though.
Reluctant to get a network card, but I guess I'll have to.

Like zarf said, network cards are dead cheap.
If you really want to diagnose, have a look with wireshark if anything is coming in.

To continue my woes, I have a cheap ass little network card now, which I plugged in and isn't recognised by windows or ubuntu. It connects to the router OK (router lights are on) but.. that.. is.. pretty useless. Any thoughts?

But I can't replace my motherboard! It would be too much work.
