How can I access the UI if I can't connect to its wifi? Hard connection? Right now it doesn't even look like its booting up. The green light on the back is green but not even the LED's blink if I try turn it on/off.

Connect ethernet wired PC to the back of the router and see if you can log into 192.168.1.1.
Check the PCs networking settings to see if it's getting an IP address from the router.
Are you sure your feeling the back button push in? Should be a quick bump when you push it in then bump when you let go.

Unfortunately its not getting an IP. Doesn't even feel like its powered on even though the green light is on on the back. Like I said, prior, I would unplug the power and plug it back in and the LED ring would flash. Now it won't even do that.
So I'm probably SOL?
Right now had to plug in an older router (R6300V2) to use for the meantime. This router doesn't give me full coverage in my home.
