Pull the plug of the router, wait two minutes and put it back in. Then give it up to 5 minutes to restart.

Is your device (PC, phone) connected to the router?

Make sure that all the cables are inserted properly.

Hitting the WPS button shouldn't affect any of your established connections. Just call your ISP if this is beyond your capability.

Temporarily bypass the router and run an ethernet cable directly to the modem. This will possibly confirm that the router is the problem.

Always bypass wireless connections and hardware to troubleshoot connectivity issues, especially with Steam.

He probably has one of those router, modem everything in one box. So that is not going to work.

IF he does you are correct. But we don't know that yet.
