if you can access ssh, then the network is working.
try the following:
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.1.1
replace 192.168.1.1 with the address of your gateway.
then try to ping something like 8.8.8.8
ping 8.8.8.8
use ctrl-c to stop it.

Even if it's clicked into the jack, there can be enough play to keep it from connecting. After that, you should run linux networking diagnostic tools. Start with ifconfig. Look for an interfaced named something like eno1 or enp30s25 or like that. If you run ifconfig and no interfaces starting with an "e" are listed, then your network interface is busted. Lightning strike maybe? Something like that. If youfind an interface listed, try running dhclient on it, "dhclient -v eno1". If that errors out, it is probably a cable or the gateway. If dhclient does not error out, you will probably have your network back until the next time you reboot. If that is the case, then see if your interface  is listed in /etc/network/interfaces. If it is, then your problem is probably in that file somewhere. If not, then it'

Since it suddenly stopped working and you know your router password, I think it's either something with your ISP, a bad router or switch (they wear out) or a bad wireless card. You could also try plugging the ethernet cable directly into your modem and your machine to eliminate the router.
