Welcome to the community, km1029
I suggest that you try to hard reset the router by following the steps below.
1. With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on the back of unit for 30seconds.
2. Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds.
3. Power on the unit while STILL pushing the reset button and count for another 30 seconds before letting it go.
After reset, reconfigure the router to get back the Internet access.
