2. Tried to reset the Router but it's not happening.
Any help please!!
1. What are the rest of the lights doing on the router? At the end is the manual. Page 82 has info on what the led's mean.
2. have you tried accessing the router based upon the gateway address? default is usually 192.168.1.1 for this device. It could be something different if someone changed it. If you're using windows, open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG hit enter. the address shown under default gateway will be the router's ip address. Type that into a browser. Are you able to log into the router from here?
3. I know you said you tried to reset the router. Sometimes you need to hold it bit longer than the 7 seconds recommended. Sometimes up to 30 seconds is needed.
Did this work?

Thanks for replying.
the rest of the lights( power, LAN1,LAN2, Internet) are working fine.Only WIFI light is not showing up.
Tried the default gaetway site, attached the error. The router homepage is not working /not accessible.
I have tried reseting the router ( more than 30 seconds, 30/30/30 method soemthing which i saw on internet) and other methods to reset the router. but no help.

What are the lights doing? It helps with diagnostic. You say fine but color, blinking etc.
When you did the reset, did you have to redo the modem? Are you sure you're depressing the button and holding it for long enough? If it reset successfully, it'll make you redo setup. If it isn't, you might be a canidate for a tftp procedure. here's the procedure on how to do so. follow the steps and it should get you through successfully.
