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!
