I have (another) simple question involving my router.
Is this a Linux Bug, or simply a Bad Router?
1) My internet is perfect (normal setup) 2) Plug my computer internet directly into ethernet router 3) $ ping 192.168.1.1 network is unreachable
So, is this my router, do I need to turn-off network manager, Linux bug, what next?
Thanks in advance

What is the IP of your computer?
What kind of router do you have?
If I am reading this right, you are unplugging the Modem from your Linux computer and then putting it in the Router. I assume your computer is also plugged into the network router.
Is this correct?

Some router (like mine) has a different ip (192.168.1.254)
To discover your router's ip :
$ route
or
Discover all active ip on your network using nmap: $ nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254
NB: Some router has a firewall that block ICMP traffic (pings)

When it says "Network is Unreachable" I assume this means he has no route to begin with.. So he may not be able to do the above.
Otherwise it would spit out "Destination Host Unreachable" if it could get to the network and/or 100% packet loss if the router IP was different.

A lot depends on how you connect to the Internet. If you are connected directly to the Modem, and have the computer set up to connect using something like PPPoE, then you have to make a few modifications when you add in a router between the computer and the modem. The usual change is to set up the router to do the PPPoE for you, and then change your computer to use DHCP and turn off the PPPoE connection.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the network and default gateway that the computer is set up to use man not give you a route to the 192.168.1.0 network. For example, my DSL modem defaults to 192.168.0.1. If I were connected to the modem directly, my computer would be set up to use the 192.168.0.0 network with the gateway being 192.168.0.1. With the default setup, I would also have to configure the computer to make the PPPoE connection. But I have the DSL modem configured to do that, and I have the router configured to use DHCP to get its WAN IP address.
So, without a lot more information about your setup, it is not possible to answer your question.

What do you get when you type
ifconfig eth0
in a terminal sessino?
How is your card configured, through network or network manager? Are you set up to use DHCP or do you have a static configuration set?

Also include the output of:
netstat -rn
which will show your routing table.
