Assuming that your twisted pair DSL line is now connected to the new
"wired" modem, I would suggest that you connect wired modem to one of
the LAN ports on your existing AP's LAN ports. So now your AP, the
wired DSL modem and all other computers are on the same IP network.
The default gateway would be the wired DSL modem's IP number (as Raja
has suggested).
The settings on both Windows and Ubuntu are identical. I also use
Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 always on my computers (though that's a
good tip) but unfortunately, the Ubuntu computer was unable to ping
8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or 4.2.2.[1-7]. Weirdly, NetworkManager would not let
me configure the DNS settings either. The 'Apply' button was greyed out.
However, in a surprising development, after I put my laptop under
suspend and then brought it back up later it connected and now works
pretty much flawlessly except for signal being oddly low and the
wireless network running at 1 Mb/s. I believe this is just erroneously
being reported, though, since I can download at 230 kB/s from the
Internet.
