Directv Main Box has orange network light on and after resetting the box it is still solid orange

Lats night my local internet company came out and installed a new router and the little box that sits on top of the main Genie box had a orange light that would be on for about 8-10 seconds then go back to green after the installation of the new router. Today the light is solid orange and I pressed the red reset button and reset the box but the light won't go back to green. I also have two genie clients and they both have orange lights on them. What is my next step?

I forgot to mention the orange light is under where it says network.

You might need to perform the Network Setup again if they changed your WiFi.

What model Genie?

How is it connected to your home network?

Thank you for the advice. I have the HR34-700 as the main box and two minis. How do perform a network setup?

That's a very old box. It's the first "Genie" DVR. You might consider calling DirecTV to request a replacement. You'll likely get an HR54 or HS17.  Just tell them your HR34 is dead. 

Network Setup is under the Settings Menu.
