Well in my opinion that's pretty conclusive.
The router gets its config (ip address, gateway address, DNS servers) from the ISP so if you restart the router (so it picks up any changes the ISP has made to its network) and then ping test 8.8.8.8 (which is Google's DNS server which should be always up) from the diagnostic page, then failure indicates your internet connection is stuffed and rules out any local LAN misconfiguration.
I'd be passing that evidence to the ISP.

RESOLV.CONF(5) File Formats Manual RESOLV.CONF(5)
NAME
resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/resolv.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/resolv.conf is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. It may con-
tain these two lines:
nameserver IP-address
domain domain-name
The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries. If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the default) then the
local name daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names. You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
name server is at the other side of a router. The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.
The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames. This entry is usually not given in which case the domain of
the local host is used.
The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).
