What does not working mean? Won't turn on? Won't connect to the Internet?
What do the LEDs look like on the R6020.
As it is a router, it probably connects to the Internet through a modem. What is it? Does that still work?
By the way, your router is pretty old (2017). More important it is the bottom of the range.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet, anything faster than 100 Mbps is a waste of your money.
It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support at least 1000BASE-TX.
Nothing wrong with it being old, just don't expect too much.
Just another user with time on their hands.
