@Kevin_Z thank you. I actually found a solution by chance. I plugged the ethernet cable into a different port in the router (I was previously plugged into the one that said "internet ". It worked and I  was able to reconfigure the router on the Tether app.

Hello, are you still able to login to the router web GUI to check the configuration? If yes, please follow this guide to review all the basic settings on the router:

Good to know that. The modem cable should be plugged into the Internet port of the A7.
