    Try a power OFF of the router and ISP modem for 1 minute then back ON?

      What router do you have?

      What fimrware is on it? 

      What gateway is it connected to? 

      Have you tried a factory reset/reinstall?

      What started the issue?

        I have net gear ac1750 

        it has started suddenly. I don't know why.

        It has been working without any trouble for a long year. 8 years minimum.

        It is connected to the gateway of the internet provider from the beginning, and nothing has changed.

        If the power light doesn't come on, that suggests dead hardware.

         

        If you have a compatible powder adapter lying around, they are pretty common, try that. Any generic adapter will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions.

        If that does not work, then it may be time to recycle your eight-year old router.

         

        By the way ac1750 doesn't tell us which router you own.

         

        ac1750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
