Nope.

Maybe stating the obvious here but if you just set your laptop to use DHCP on a wired cable and plug it directly into the Saitama Cable Network box, does that give you a normal internet service on your laptop?

If it does, I'd try doing a factory reset on the wifi router, power cycle everything and start again, making sure that you're actually connected via the DHCP address the wifi router gives you. 

If it doesn't, forget about the wifi and call Saitama Cable Network to tell them your in-laws' internet is broken.
