N300 wireless router not working after power down

I powered the router and all equipment down for 2 wks, when I powered everything back on the router did not work wireless or hardware from it. A hardwire from the modem works so the connection is there. and the wire from the modem has been verified. The router has been rebooted several times and appears to power up ok but I don't get any wireless or hardwire signal.  Model No WNR2000

  • Remember, it is important to turn things on in the right order.

     

    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

     

    • Turn off and unplug the modem.
    • Turn off the modem router and computers.
    • Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
    • Turn on the computers.

     

    This is so that each bit knows who is in charge.

        After the router powers up, is the internet light lit on the front of the router?  It should be under the power light and above the wifi light.

         

        If it is lit, what color is it?
