What you missed is that the value you give the NameVirtualHost
directive must be identical to what you use in your <VirtualHost>
blocks.

So if your NameVirtualHost statement looks like this:

NameVirtualhost 123.4.5.6:80

Than your <VirtualHosts> blocks must start like this:
<VirtualHost 123.4.5.6:80>

Putting an IP address in the NameVirtualHost directive is usually not
needed, and putting the static IP addres of the router in there is
certainly not going to work. The only IP address that would make sense
here would be the local address of the machine apache runs on. You
usually don't need to worry about your apache server's internal
address though.

The best solution usually is to have this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
# First, default virtualhost.
....
</VirtualHost *:80>
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Second host...
....
<VirtualHost>

and so on.

To test things you can start apache like this:

httpd -S

This should list all the virtualhosts apache found in the config.
