A reset is certainly a possibility but it is the nuclear option. You have to set up the network all over again.

 

There is a simpler and less dramatic one to try first.

 

It may help to reboot the whole network in the right 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.

If that does not work, then move on to the reset.

 

Before you do that you could save a backup of your current configuration and restore it when you are back on line.

If restoring it kills the connection, just reset again and set up the device from scratch.
