Can we see the full ifconfig output? Can you ping the router?

Please also share your network configuration.

If you're using DHCP perhaps try static addresses instead. The lease might have expired.

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant credited the Scottish philosopher David Hume to have waken him up from his dogmatic slumber.
So to to paraphrase Kant in the context of your router problem: "there is no method to wake a router up from its Windows dogmatic slumber"

You could try to manually get an IP address from that router.

If , for example, your NIC shows up in the ifconfig output as bge0 you could try to get a dhcp lease with:
Code:
# ifconfig bge0 autoconf
Then investigate the output of # ifconfig bge0 and check whether it has received an IP address.
Then you could try to ping an address with:
Code:
# ping -c2 1.1.1.1
Then try a DNS lookup:
Code:
# dig openbsd,orgp
It that works you should be able to ping by name:
Code:
# ping -c2 openbsd.org
