WNDR4500v2 "Out of Range" when 2 feet away from router
Recently my WNDR4500v2 Router stopped working. First, we factory reset it through the paperclip reset button. After it restarted, we tried to connect to the router network "NETGEAR83", as it said on the router, and entered the password on the router. Multiple devices tried to connect, and we were always "Out of Range", even when right next to the router. The lights on the side are as follows:
WPS - Green
Power - Green
Internet - Amber/Orange
2.4 GHz- Green
5 GHz - Blue
1 - Amber
2 - Amber
3 - Nothing
4 - Amber
All of our devices can't connect, and we have tried Chrombooks, ASUS Windows computers, Samsung Phones, Motorola Phones, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Do you have computers connected to ports 1,2, and 4?
Since none of the computers can get online through the router, follow the instructions below.
