FAQs

I’m not connected to the internet. No webpages will load and I can’t send or receive email.

Unplug the power cord from the back of the modem. If you also have a router (for home/wireless networking), please unplug its power cable as well. After 10-15 seconds, plug the modem back in. Wait 10-15 seconds for the router to acquire the connection and send it out to your network, then test your connectivity – check webpages and email.

If this didn’t work, check the following: Have you moved the modem to a different room? When your modem was installed, only one outlet in your home was made active for Internet connectivity. If you’ve moved the modem since then, try moving it back to its original location.

I can view webpages, but I can’t send or receive email.
