If you are unable to connect to the Internet, but you can navigate other systems on the Network when connected through a Wi-Fi SOHO router, the issue is likely with the Cable Modem.
Key Takeaway: Since the computer is getting an IP address of 192.168.1.54, we can assume it is probably connecting to the Wi-Fi SOHO router successfully and receiving an IP address from the router's built-in DHCP server. As a result, it is able to navigate other systems on the network. Therefore, neither the SOHO router, the wireless network, nor the TCP/IP stack on your system can be the culprit of the problem, and the cable modem must be either bad or the cable connection (more than likely) needs to be restarted.
