Try performing a Ping test to see that your connection is intact or not. To perform this test, you must type "Ping" in the command prompt followed by the IP address of the site you want to ping. For instance, to ping Yahoo, type Ping Yahoo.com. This forwards the data packet to the target website and measures how fast your internet connection is. See the timed results if the test is successful. If it fails, try pinging several other websites. If this failed then there might a problem with your router or modem.

Look at the notification LED on your router if there is no light on the device then try to check its power connection. Once you ensure the power connector is good, turn on the device by pressing the power switch on the router. If the failure to boots up, your device may be dealing with failed power adapter, power strip, or a fried router. Replace the concern parts with the legitimate one. If your router doesn’t have the LED indicators,  see if the Ethernet port lights are flashing at the back of the router. Make sure that each cable is seated correctly in the port.
