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.

Nope:

"Network is unreachable"

but you said "I can communicate with the router"
which seems to indicate you can route correctly

"and windows works through the router."
which indicates no hardware problem.

Power off modems/routers and all PCs if more than one.
Wait 1 minute by your watch/wall clock.
Power up cable modem, wait for leds to settle down.
Power up router then boot Fedora
