Thank you for the reply! I just tried turning the wifi button off and back on and there was no luck. Cannot even find my network in my wifi settings on my iPhone now.

Know anyone with a laptop/pc you can plug into the router to check if its working as well as what its ssid/password is?
They also make usb/ethernet adapters.
When you reset, did you push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on?
If so, the wifi should be the default ssid on the sticker.

I don’t have a way to hardwire test it, if I have to go out and buy a usb/Ethernet port I might as well just exchange the router and go with Google Nest- plemansDec 13, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Have you tried using a different device?
Not sure what else to tell you. there limited ways in which we can help if you're not willing to hardwire into it and you can't connect via wireless.
