No, every Lan device is getting the 169 ip, my router dir615 ddwrt, is getting a wan ip address of 0.0.0.0

So have you tried doing a direct connection to the modem.
Laptop <----> Modem

So the router is Not being used.

Does it work then?
Also you will need to restart the modem.
yup, tried, ive also tried changing my mac address, no change.

If you open up the command prompt and do an ipconfig /renew you will get an error.

What is that error ?
An eror occured while releasing the interface Local Area Connection: An address has not been asociated with the network endpoint

Nope didnt work masque



Ive also tried keeping it offline for 8hr, as I read somewhere it put the ip/mac back in the pool or something, and give you a new one, but nothings changed.

Kinda getting annoyed now
