2 There should be a reset button in the back of the router hold it in with a pen tip or paper clip for 1 min.
3 Plug power back into router and all cables.

If this has been sent to you by your ISP when you joined, ring them and tell them its stopped working and the should send you a new one.
It sounds like some circuitry has died, replacement required.
trying something else with a usb connection, if it restarts will all of the above then its a dodgy usb connection which has weaken during the hibernation period. and will need looking by a techy.
if the above dont do anything then it could be the adapter
Select the tab which says "Downloads" and provide the version number of your adapter. You can then download the corresponding driver files and install it.
For further clarifications, revert! Thanks for asking, Arvind S Iyer
Just use the Windows Zero configuration to connect to the wireless network.
On the system tray ( bottom right corner of the screen ), you'll see the Linksys WLAN monitor ( green Icon ). Right click on that icon and select use windows Wireless Zero Configuration, then click yes if you will be asked if you want to do it.
Then connect wirelessly using windows.
Go to the control panel > network and internet > network connections.
Right click the wireless network connection > go to properties > go to the wireless networks tab > make sure that the box on the top is checked ( use windows to configure... ) > then click on view available wireless networks > connect to your network, make sure that you're typing in the right password because it is very case sensitive.
