Maybe a power flash caused it to happen . If it keeps happening I suggest contacting support.

With no Ethernet WAN/Internet port, I don't see how. You ought to be
able to use it as a wireless access point, however. A step-by-step for

That's for a C6300, but the steps are about the same for any other
router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP option, including a
C3700.
