Answer 5

You can usually press and hold a button on the router to reset it...typically its a pin-hole button located somewhere on the router.  Most problems can be solved by simply unplugging a plugging it back in, but if its something more dire, let me know the details and I can see if I can help you resolve it.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 6

There is a reset button on the back of the unit for times like these!  Use a paperclip to push the button.
