       Which model is it?  Look at the product label.

       "can not" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
    you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
    indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
    interpretations.

       "looks like"?  What, exactly, do you see?  LED indicators?
    Management web site ("routerlogin.net", ...")?  Any useful information
    at all might help.


       What, exactly, does not work?

       Pressed for how long?  Try again, with no data lines connected to the
    router?

       You first?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for the LED
    descriptions, "Troubleshoot", and "Factory Settings" or "reset".
