    When you log onto the router via a browser, what does it report under wireless?

    Graphical User Interface i.e what you see on the web page.

    If it's enabled and the led is off then it hints at a possible hardware problem or a physical wifi switch is set to off.

    Did u reboot the router?I see you already tried

    Yea i did.its strange.it was working fine this morning.then the outage and after that nothing.ill ring them tomorrow.
    If a upc/v media router kicks the bucket are they obliged to replace it?

    Turns out virgin media had it disabled from their end after the outage last week.a phone call fixed it.
