Several things to try:

Turn everything off and switch back on in this EXACT order:

Modem - wait at least 30 seconds for the lights to settle

Router - wait for lights to settle

Laptop

This reboots the modem and very often solves the problem you have.

If not:

Disable your firewall temporarily. It may have automatically updated and be shutting you out.

Still no good -

Reset the router to default settings. This cancels any security you have set up, so you will need to do that again. I reset mine my holding down a tiny button for 10 seconds.
