Router has orange blinking modem light

and no internet connection. It was fine last night. Right now I have the internet modem wired to the computer but need my wireless router back up and working.

Any ideas what could have happened and how to fix it?

Thanks.

on it somewhere, if not try unplugging it (the power not the ethernet) and plugging it back in. see if that helps.

called Belkin and they had me clone the MAC address and that fixed it. Said Comcast has a modem problem and of course Comcast was no help.
