I will suggest you to follow these steps to reset your Linksys wrt120n router.

• You have to turn off all the things (computer, modem, and router)
• Now remove all the connection from your Linksys wrt120n router.
• Now after that only turn on the router and don’t do anything for 3 to 4 minutes.
• After doing that you have to reset the router by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds and after doing that wait for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn off the router and then connect computer LAN wire in router (connect in port 1)
• After that turn on the router and then start your computer.
• Now after that you have to check whether it makes any difference or not.
