What modem/gateway/ONT is the router connected to?
A few things to try to pin down the problem.
Have you checked that this is delivering a connection?
Have you tried different power adapters?
Have you rebooted the network in the expected order?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
