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.

bootparamd
RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8)
NAME
bootparamd, rpc.bootparamd -- boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-i interface] [-r router] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the file ``/etc/bootparams''.
It should normally be started from ``/etc/rc''.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the ``/etc/bootparams'' file. The hostname returned in response to the booting
client's whoami request will be the name that appears in the config file, not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short
enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.
While parsing, if a line containing just ``+'' is found, and the YP subsystem is active, the YP map bootparams will be searched immediately.
OPTIONS
-d Display the debugging information. The daemon does not fork in this case.
-i interface
Specify the interface to become the default router. bootparamd picks the first IPv4 address it finds on the system by default. With
-i, you can control which interface to be used to obtain the default router address. -r overrides -i.
-s Log the debugging information with syslog(3).
-r Set the default router (a hostname or IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server.
-f Specify the file to use as boot parameter file instead of ``/etc/bootparams''.
FILES
/etc/bootparams default configuration file

BUGS
You may find the syslog messages too verbose.
It's not clear if the non-canonical hack mentioned above is a good idea.
