My internet sucks

Hmmmm..

Sounds like the wireless network is working.

Sounds like a DNS issue if you can't find yahoo.com. If you get your DNS from your router and it does not have the correct addresses (or has bigger issues) then you may have this problem. The fact that you can't ping it by IP address would further seem to indicate a router problem most likely having to do with the automatic addressing (DHCP) provided from the router.

Sounds like setting a manual address may be in order.

Go to the connection properties then properties for TCP/IP. If it is set for auto (DNCP) then change and manually put in these settings.

Set a manual IP.
Something like 192.168.0.50 (the last numer can change but it should be between 20 and 254)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

The DNS addresses are 68.2.16.25 and 68.2.16.30.

Try these settings and let me know how it works.

I tried this with no success, my computer is still connected with an excellent signal yet my internet nor any other online service won't connect. If you don't have any other suggestions, then I guess I'm going to just reinstall my linksys disk as Navyvet suggested. Thanks for your help.

OK you did set the IP address and the DNS addresses?

Did you try again to ping the gateway (192.168.0.1), yahoo.com, and yahoo by IP (66.94.234.13) again after this change? what were the results?

None worked. I think the problem is my internet gateway is disabled. When I try to enable the connection, it says connecting and then connected. But on Network Connections it still says the internet gateway is disabled and I can't seem to change it's disabled status.
