I am thinking the router was set to get it's IP from the modem and when you changed the IP after the power failure, is when you problems started. I suggest looking at your networks IP addresses. I think they are not on the same subnet.
My first step would be to record the settings and do a hard reset on the router, then proceed to reinstall the settings and make sure your network is on the same subnet.

this error is either caused by the lan icon is disabled or has a manual ip address.

1. Access the setup page of the router by launching browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter.
   
2. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
3. click on ok. On the main setup page the "Internet Connection Type" should be on "Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.
4. Now click on the tab "MAC address clone". Click on enable.
5. Click Clone & click save settings

The Linksys WRT160N has WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). If you are using WPA-PSK encryption (recommended), then you can easily connect the C4780 to your wireless network using WPS:

1) On the Linksys router, press the WPS button that is top of the case just under the Cisco label. When the LED on the button starts to blink, then the WPS process has started.
