Interesting. I always found it pretty easy to troubleshoot. On the back of the router find the 3” long flat black cable that goes into a 1” square black box. Is it plugged into the WAN port on the router? Oh - you plugged that flat black cord into the wall jack? Swap the ends - the flat black cord goes in the router. Find the cord plugged into the 1” box and follow that to the wall jack. Is it plugged in securely at both ends? Find the thin wire coming off the 1” block and follow that to the power supply. Is it plugged in and the green light on? No? Plug it in. If the green light is on unplug the power supply and tell me if the light goes out right away. It fades away slowly? Then there is a break in the wire between the power supply and the equipment outside? Oh - your husband wacked that wire with his hedge trimmer? Yeah - that might possibly be the problem.
