    You've told us nothing about what you have tried, or what the local network looks like, so this is all just guesswork.

     

    There is a manual for the WNR2000v4 somewhere at the end of this link:

     

    >>> WNR2000v4 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<

     

    Check the state of the LEDs on the thing. (see page 127.) Are the wifi lights as they should be? Tried pressing the wifi on/off button?

     

    Tell us the firmware version on your WNR2000v4.

     

    Restarted the router? How about the whole network?

     

    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

     

    • Turn off and unplug the modem.
    • Turn off the modem router and computers.
    • Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the computers.
