I need not only help for that question, which I suspect the answer is no. Here’s what’s happening:

I formerly lived alone and used my modem and Linksys router without issue. 
I am now living with family who was very powerful Wi-Fi all throughout their large home. For a month- I’ve been able to connect without issue until today. My smart TV, MacBook and iPhone will not connect. Cannot find network or internet, my initial thought was to hook up reputed next to TV so has to get signal, right? But it’s old and cannot get internet from Wi-Fi (to then route out..). It has to be hardwired to internet source- which is wayyyy on other end of house. Help!!

I’d start by trying to determine what changed. I wouldn’t expect 3 different devices to stop at once.

  1. Is the same SSID still being broadcast?
  2. Has the network password changed?
  3. Any chance you were on a “family” connection and the settings (access) changed?

The person that is admin on the network should be able to verify the signal is still good in your location with an appropriate phone based WiFi measurement tool (in case an extender went down), as well as confirm the router behavior.
