I'm going to need a picture or artist's rendition.

I don't understand how you're unable to reset it.

This isn't the same router, but it has the same type of reset button.

As you can see, it's not the kind where it's a tiny hole that you stick a pen into. You can actually see the button, and it's bigger. It won't move when I try to push it. What will resetting it do anyway? Won't it just basically do the same thing as pulling out the power cord, and putting it back in?

My reset button is the same and I'm able to push it with a pen tip, and a paper clip would definatley work.

Could you tell me if the reset button does anything else besides reseting the power?

Well for example, sometimes my family's PC for some reason may not be receiving the signal from the router. The PC has a wireless USB receiver. So then, I use the reset button on the back of the router and that refreshes the signal and stuff, and the PC is able to start receiving again.
