I wish it were that easy and ty for the welcome. I've done that, I've reset the router, i've went on Dlinks website and downloaded the manual and it has the program information to reinstall the router...tried that once it gets to verifying (last step) it says internal error please restart pc and program. There were no storms, the only difference that had happened was I hid the ssid. And again, can't get to any of the router IP's. Thanks for the suggestion and the welcome I'm almost thinking it's just time for a new router.....although this one is only a few months old. ...sigh!
