Two installations may go bad same time, but why is Live CD not working? No, that makes me think something happened to your router. Can you use your Ubuntu if you override the DNS manually, using 8.8.4.4 for instance?
127.0.1.1 is the address avahi is using, systemd setup managed to create another middleman, this time between application and DNS. /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten by NetworkManager.
My ISP occasionally has DNS issues, but they are very rare (we're talking a few times a year) and seldom last more than a couple of minutes.
What DNS servers does your router point to? For a test, you could change the DNS servers to Google's, which are rock-solid (I don't use them, but they are rock-solid).
