My router just stopped working nothing I can do to get any device to see it. I have unplugged it for hours and plugged it back in the lights all come on right away no flashing and they all stay on except the internet light.
From what I can make out from your photo, the power LED on your router is orange. That is wrong.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Troubleshoot With the LEDs.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
If I am right, then you may have corrupt firmware.
There is more severe, recovery reset, that you could try:
- Press reset for 30 seconds
- Keep pressing reset while removing power
- Keep pressing reset for another 30 seconds while apply power
If it works, you may be able to use the usual method to flash the firmware again.
Download the latest firmware for your device – or an older version if that is what you want – and read the Release Notes for how to install it.

If that fails, you are into TFTP country.

This also explains how to tell Windows to use TFTP on your PC.
This isn't the easiest operation, so if you are forced to use it, you could try a web search to find videos that guide you through the process.
The good news is that TFTP has rescued many a dead device.

It is hard to tell from your description if you have followed the instructions in the TFTP link.
This is not an easy thing to do, so it may help to find a video that you can follow to take you through the process step by step:
tftp netgear video - Google Search
This is one of several:
The process is the same regardless of the brand of router.

Can you confirm that the power LED on the router of a steady amber colour and is not blinking?
That was a guess on my part. You did not tell us if this really is the case.
