TROUBLESHOOTING If you are experiencing trouble with your Internet service, use the following troubleshooting tips to try and fix the problem yourself. CHECKING YOUR MODEM CONNECTION Lights on the front of your Internet modem are illuminated to indicate the modem is functioning properly. Use the Lights/Indications chart below to identify these lights and what they mean. LIGHTS
INDICATION
Power
Steady green means modem is on.
Cable or Sync
Steady green means modem is connected to the cable Internet network. No light means there is no cable connection.
PC or Link
Steady green means connection to computer is working. No light means the computer is turned off or not connected to the modem.
Data, Activity or Traffic
Flashing or blinking green means data is flowing to/from the modem.
CONFIRM THE CABLE SIGNAL If you have cable television service, you can confirm that your cable signal is active by checking to see if your cable channels are coming in clear. POWER CYCLE (RESET) YOUR MODEM Given that your modem is always on, network maintenance or electrical storms can sometimes cause modem errors. Over 90% of the time, resetting your modem can clear these errors. To reset the modem, simply unplug your cable modem, wait 30 to 45 seconds and plug it back in. If you still experience problems, call our technical support number at 704-660-3843.
