I actually found the reset button using a diagram on the underside of the router, but it should be noted that it took a change in the cable modem (went from a really big one to a small one provided by Time Warner) to fix the problem. As soon as I did the reset and let the router do the automatic detection, it correctly decided that I was on a dynamic IP, whereas it had been insisting that the IP was static before. So, I'm thinking a combination of age (3 years or more?), heat, and possibly a power surge from a lighting strike (had a storm that led to the cable internet outage and had a brownout during another storm a few days ago) did the poor guy in. Thanks for the help everyone.
