Surfing to 192.168.100.1 and grabbing the signal values and event logs from your cable modem's diagnostic page should tell us if there's an Internet problem rather than a router problem. If the timing of the problem coincides with your replacing the router, it's very plausible that its the culprit. Instead, there is something that is causing your router to either lose its DHCP lease or to completely lose its connection to the cable network. Cable modems do indeed MAC lock, but this isn't a MAC lock, as in a MAC lock, the router is not assigned an IP address at all (which would show up as a WAN IP address of 0.0.0.0 on the router's status page) and has no access to the Internet.
