WNDR3400V3 is not providing wifif

My router is only providing internet to the computer it's hooked up to with a coaxial cable. It's attached via ethernet to an Arris Surfboard SB 6141.
Back story- I fell behind on my payments to Xfinity and they turned off my internet. I paid off what I owed and they're saying I have internet again and everything looks good on their side.

    .

    Does that mean that wired works and wifi doesn't?

     

    Have you pressed the WiFi on/off button?

     

    By the way, your WNDR3400V3 dates back to 2014, based on an original from 2010.

     

    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.
