Did you try power cycling the switch?

Yes I unplugged the power then plugged it back in. I also rebooted my computer. The lights came on. I did notice the test light did come on when I plugged in the power but stopped working after about a minute.

It looks like you have a dead router/switch.

Did you try a different power outlet? I doubt that’s the issue, but it never hurts to try.

I would follow the “reset everything” advice but make sure you leave the cable modem off at least 5 full minutes (at least that’s how long it takes my ISP to recognize I’ve dropped off ... that ensures I get a new IP when I power up).. if you have a Linksys WRTP54G router (or a few other similar models) they have a bug where a port will hang after xxxx IP connections are made .. a reset will fix it (not a power off but the reset button that reloads flash) but I usually just juggle wires into a new port.

I was thinking more along the lines of the DC power supply getting weak or going bad. If you have a volt meter, you could see if it’s putting out the correct voltage.

When you unplugged it, did you also take out the battery?
