Internet light orange on router?

Ok so like 2 days ago my wifi just stopped working, for no reason. I tried to reset it but it didn’t work. I thought the modem was the issue but it’s the router. And the internet light on the router is orange. I’ve reset it, updated it, but nothing has worked. Any answers ?

  • what device do you have? 

    What firmware is on it? 

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
    Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
    Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
    Its a great resource to start with.

      so when you say your wifi stopped working did it stop transmitting a signal or was it just that your internet wouldn't load up? Try doing a hard reset on your router by pressing the reset button with a paper clip. Let us know what happens to help you troubleshoot.
