    1. What modem are you using? 

    2. Is that really your router? the WNR612v2 you put in the bottom? 

    3. have you tried resetting and reinstall the WNR612v2? or even re-installing the firmware to the router? maybe it isn't a device issue. And that device is 10 years old. maybe the firmware was corrupted at some point. 

     

    it might also be time for an upgrade. The WNR612v2 was made in 2010 and was below base model when it came out. Its a single band n150 device with only 2x 10/100mbps ports. Unless you're on pretty slow dsl or dialup, an upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea.
