Hello, did this just start happening or was this a problem that has always occurred?

Customer replied 827 days and 1 hours ago.

Started about 1 month ago. I have a computer that I am at now and I send wireless to my wife's desktop upstairs.

Expert:  J Tech replied 827 days and 1 hours ago.

Is the computer upstairs connected to the router ?

Customer replied 827 days and 1 hours ago.

No, the downstairs computer that I am on. The upstairs computer has a wireless adapter card. Rich

Yes I understand but are you connected to the router (wirelessly)

If you are at your upstairs computer and you type 192.168.1.1 into the browser what comes up ?

Customer replied 827 days ago.

I am not connected to the wireless, it goes from the router to my wife's computer. When I typed the numbers where the http was it said it was an invalid address. Was that the right place to type it? Thanks for your help. Rich

Try the following

192.168.1.254

or

http://gateway.2wire.net

Customer replied 827 days ago.

Neither of these work. I'm sorry. The 2Wire box has always had the wireless light on, but now it is not on (for the last month). Could there be a short in the system where I just need a new box? Rich

I would like you to power cycle the modem. To do this unplug the power cable from the modem. Also if there is a battery in the modem pull that out as well. Leave it disconnected for a minute. Plug everything back in. If you still continue to have the problem with the light being off you will have to get a new box.
