It is Lubuntu mini.iso with no desktop environment, only fvwm, so please, I can use only the terminal. I don't have any network manager installed.
There are two different routers:
On the SIM router the wired internet connection works for the Lubuntu device.
As soon as I change the Ethernet cable from this SIM router, to the other provider (router) which has only tv cable/coax connection through only a cable modem (Gateway), there is no more internet connection.
With the same network cable/router port (from the tv cable/coax/Gateway ISP) the internet works on Windows 7 and 10.
From what I could see for the two different routers/connections the IPs are assigned dynamically.
Tell me please what logs do you need from the working and not-working connections, in order to see the differences...
Thank you.

No configurations have been changed to any of the two routers or any machines Linux/Windows 7/Windows 10.
Only change the same cable for all the 3 difference devices from a router to another. Windows 10 and Windows 7 have internet connection on both routers.
Linux has internet only on the SIM router.
For the non working internet connection to the link led from the router where is the Linux Ethernet cabled plugged, only the orange led one blinks, but for the other internet working devices connected via Ethernet cable to the same router, blinks also the green led on the router.

I restarted the device to see if it will still work but when Linux loaded after restart this appeared in the console:
Failed to start LSB: IPV4 DHCP client with IPV4ALL support. See 'systemctl status dhcpcd.service' for details 16.780656 usb 1-1.4.3: device descriptor read/64, error -110 A start job is running to Raise network interfaces ( ** min **s / 5min 7s) The last part "A start job is running..." where I have to wait 5 min and 7s it seams that appears every time that the internet doesn't work. It has never appeared when the internet worked, but it always appears when internet doesn't work...
After starting Linux with the non-working internet in, I also tried dhcpcd eth0 but...
eth0: waiting for carrier timed out dhcpcd exited And again...
I have just (nothing less or more) only moved the cable from the non-internet connection router to the internet working connection router dhcpcd eth0
Loaded all the things successfully (with the internet connection plugged). Is it right that would not be a good idea to paste in here the output of "dhcpcd eth0" ?
Unplug the working internet connection and plug in to the non-internet connection, but surprise, now I am posting from the non-working internet connection which it seems that now is working because of the dhcpcd eth0
But, if I will restart like last time, I think it will happen again like before.
As soon as "waiting for carrier" without touching anything else, I unplugged only the head on the network cable from the Linux machine, insert it in the Windows 7 machine, disable the wireless at all from the Windows machine, enable LAN, and internet is working... This could mean that the router/cable/port of the router work properly?
I will try also to reset the router...
Could it be any other configurations of Linux, considering that the internet works after I use dhcpcd eth0 with the internet-working router plugged in, and after that, plugging in the non-internet router and still has internet connection... (until restart)
The only way the internet was working IN THE NON-INTERNET WORKING ROUTER (the same network cable/the same router port, everything the same like when it doesn't work) was dhcpcd eth0 WHEN THE NETWORK CABLE WAS PLUGGED IN THE WORKING INTERNET ROUTER and after that only moving the cable from the working-internet-router to the non-working-internet router.
But if I will restart the machine, no internet until I will not repeat the before steps.
I've also reset for a few times the router, restarted it (unplug from the electricity for at least 30 second) tried to reconnect the Linux machine to the non-internet-router with another cable router and also to another port router, but still not working, until I will not do the step from the beginning.
The same Ethernet cable and router port from the non-internet router provide internet instantly when is plugged into another Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines, without to change anything in Windows or in the fresh/new/from scratch reset router.

Considering the before post, when I was connected on the internet through the regularly/usually non-working-internet router, but this time, before restart the internet was working on it (the reason for the working internet connection you can see at the beginning of the before post)
I only restarted the machine, without to touch anything else, router, cable or anything else.
