There could be various reasons for your router's behaviour. Please try the following steps.
1. Restart the router by unplugging the power cable connected to the router and connect it back after 2 minutes.
2. Check after restarting it you see the signals. (check your wireless utility or windows utility to see if you see the signal).
The remaining steps depend on:
1. what you see in your Wireless connection utility
2. Lights glowing on your router
3. Are you the only one using the router
4. Is there any security configured in the router

You know it is not your connection nor is it your modem. Contact your isp and ask them to release and renew your ip lease. Then connect the router and retry. Should be good. Otherwise contact Microsoft
