Why won't my wireless work?

Question

I have at&t and i have the all in one wireless router and modem. I was just using it and the wireless light turned off and wont go back on. I am currently using the ethernet cord and there's nothing the manual that tells me what could be wrong, has anyone had the same problem? I was just using it about 15 minutes ago and five minutes later it stopped, i didnt touch anything and i made sure everything was plugged in and i resetted it but still nothing. Help?

Answer 1

The light goes on when there is a wireless computer connected to it.  Were you using wireless then lost connection, then plugged in with an Ethernet cord?

There is an icon in the lower-right corner that shows the status of your connection.  (If you're not sure which one it is just hover your pointer over the ones you think it may be.)  If the system is disconnected it will tell you.  If it says Status: Disabled  You can either right-click and enable it, or double-click it and enable it in the window that appears.
