Cannot connect to wifi or ethernet cable. Tried unplugging and unplugging. I tried pulling one ethernet cable at a time and still nothing. I cannot access the router if I cannot connect the internet. Also tried reseting woth the pin and still failing.

sounds like you might have a corrupt firmware or bootup sequence. you can try recovering via tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide
