Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo

so I did 

route add default gw router.oplnk.net

and that fixed it!

Thank you!!

I still have no idea why it broke.....
