Answer 1

There's a possibity that the router or modem stopped providing internet connection. For this issue, you can check if the wired connection is working (wireless connection will not work if wired is not working). Connect your computer to the router and check if you can get online. If not, bypass the router and connect the computer to your modem. If the internet won't work, call your internet service provider. If internet will work on the modem, then it's a router problem. A reset and reconfiguration might be needed to get it working again. To proceed with the reset, just push and hold the reset button on back of the router for 10seconds. Wait for the power light to be solid and proceed with the reconfiguration. If you still have the setup cd, you can run it on your computer. If you don't have it anymore, these links will provide you instructions on how to reconfigure your router manually: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=93d3d72ddaad4d01b2f9da5d51eaf0d4_Setting_Up_your_L..., http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3687, http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3686.
