Solved Wireless has randomly stopped working

[KaylaMosho]

On Thursday I turned on my Xbox and found my xbox live wouldn't connect to the internet, thought it was strange so I checked my IPhone, same thing.I go and check my school laptop and it also would not connect to the wireless. However, my personal laptop which is connected to my router through the Ethernet cable worked fine for a few days. Then the internet on it went out, which my Windows troubleshooter told me was my DNS server not responding. Which I fixed by changing my preferred DNS server to 208.067.222.222 which fixed it on my laptop but has not fixed the wireless. I have a Westell Versalink Model 327W router if that helps at all.

You will definitely want to perform a reset on the router using the reset button on the router. Router's typically will lose wireless while the wired connections stay active.

Sometimes a 30-30-30 reset is required to fix these types of problems.

Alright I've done that and now I cannot connect to it is telling me It doesn't have a valid IP configuration. I tried going to the dslrouter and 192.168.1.1 and it doesn't work

Yes after the reset you would need to go back into the routers set up page for the wireless and to add a DNS server IP. The router should be at 192.168.1.1, you might try rebooting the modem.
