[Solved] Linksys e8450, just flashed, not internet access

I don't think it was time... it might have been an issue with the computer's IP addresses (wifi + wired, maybe it didn't like it for some reason, etc.).

Hard to know. But the great thing is that it's working now... sometimes going back to first principles is the way to find issue (or confirm operation).
