As I understood from your previous messages for sure your Wi-Fi is on.
And turning it off and on again to reconnect didn't help, right?

In order to exclude problems with the router please check the lights on your equipment.
Nearly all modems and routers have LED status lights. The LED status lights on your equipment are very helpful for quickly diagnosing network problems.
Check it please and let me know if any of the lights are red to yellow.

Is the red light matched with any description near it? Like the name of the thing that this light matches.
If you can take a photo of your equipment it will be great, *****. It will help me to find out what is the issue!

Looks like that is one of the cable's lights, so it is not the issue.
Can you please take a look at the front side of the equipment? 🙏 Are there any lights?

On line blinking light blue. Or white. Power light is on

Got it.
I know you have tried restarting the equipment but still, let's try restarting your modem, router - all internet equipment you have.
To restart your equipment, unplug the power cable for 60 seconds and plug it back in. The equipment will take a minute to reboot.

Ok

Take your time!
And let me know when done.
