      Go step by step by step and test. Omit the steps you have already taken.

     

     

    1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.

        Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.

        Restart the computer.

     

        Start up in Safe Mode.
