My router is about 4 years old. I'v been having trouble with internet provider, but now wifi is not working the lights on the router for the 2.4 and 5 ghz are not lit up. Just wondering how to tell if the router is dead or if its a set up issue from having to reset because of internet service. Cost of extended support is almost what a new router would cost anyway.

There's a wifi on/off button. Push and hold it for 2 seconds. many times booger eaters or fur babies hit it.

It's turned on. Some of the lights are on, just not the ones that indicate that the radio is working. Thank's for the reply. I appreciate it.

If pressing the wifi button didn't solve it maybe you can just try to do a hard reset by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds with a paper clip. It will be back to factory defaults. Let us know what happens.
