I can communicate with the router, but nowhere beyond that.


Then I'll guess you nave no dns name servers set if you can
ping -c 1 66.94.234.13
that ping indicates you can see yahoo.com. That has to work first
because it proves you can access the web/internet.

/etc/resolv.conf usually contains DNS values supplied by your ISP. You
could boot doze and click a cmd.exe command prompt and do a
ipconfig /all
to see doze values. Linux resolv.conf example

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 24.193.421.125
nameserver 24.193.421.16

Now
ping -c 1 66.94.234.13
ping -c 1 yahoo.com
should work.
