WRT160Nv2 Suddenly Stopped Working

[manuk]

A technician from my ISP came and while trying to troubleshoot the slow speed, he screwed up soemthing after which my WRT160N refuses to connect to the internet. If I bypass the router and connect the LAN cable from the ISP's modem directly into my PC, and specify the connectivity settings (use a static IP) in the LAN card, eveything works fine.  But the wireless just doesn't. Even using the LAN cable from the ruoter to PC doesn't work either. 

I tried resetting the router, resetting the ISP's modem, but it just doesn't work. 

Any clues on what else I can do. That technician doesn't even remember what he did.
