    what modem/gateway is it connected to ? 

    What firmware is on the router? 

    What actual error are you getting? Connected, no internet? Is the wifi broadcasting at all? 

    Do wired devices work? 

    What have you tried doing to fix it? reboot the modem/router? Factory reset the router and reinstall it? 

    What changed?

        Do another hard reset by pressing the reset pinhole with a paper clip. Before rebooting the router, restart your modem and wait til it syncs up with the internet. When the internet lights up then connect the router to the modem and see if that fixes it.
