Minor point -- the WRT54G is also not gigabit. :-)
Major question -- do you have any of the switches or devices set to a
specific speed or are they all auto-negotiate?

Do you maybe have an IP conflict? doing 192.168.0 seems odd to me. I'm
not in charge of my home network, but it appears the the modem sets the
0 subnet, and everything else (printers, computers, whatever) lives on
192.168.1.0, set by our Netgear router.
Also, you say you have it set to
use
192.168.0.0/24 is a broadcast address which if the dhcp is configured to
hand out 192.168.0.0
is a mistake. I don't know if the software is smart enough to know that it
shouldn't hand out a broadcast address.
Also Gigabit normally indicates auto-negotiation. If something is set to
use a specific

That's the network address, also off-limits for reasons I don't recall,
likely historical.

For general knowledge purposes, 192.168.0.0 is the subnet address and
192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address for that subnet. The subnet address
is used in routing tables and the broadcast address would be used by a
computer configured for DHCP to send out a DHCP request to find a DHCP
server.
It could be as Neal suggests an auto-negotiate problem. This system was
working and then with no physical changes, stopped working. Could the
auto-negotiate depend on the order in which things are turned on?

In a decade of working intensively with speeds of ethernet, I have never
seen this to be the case. Auto-neg is a sold standard that has been very
well tested
and implemented. Any network device made in at least the past
