Q: How to make the router idle?

My wifi bars are full, but the internet wasn't working so I went over to my router to see if there were any loose cables but all the cables were connected in their correct spots and I noticed that the Green light (shown in the pic) was orange. Well... i think my dad made the router "idle" (the green light was orange) for some reason, but he left to go somewhere and apparently i'm "grounded" so how can i make the green light turn orange again? Lol pls help Photo on 7-19-13 at 8.18 PM.jpg

    Shutdown your machine. Reset the router according to its instructions. Sometimes its a button, sometimes you pull the plug. Leave it off for a minute or so. Power back on. Let it run for a few minutes, then boot your machine back up.

     

    Grounded + no internet + friday night. Next time, don't get caught.
