If you’re having trouble with your service, we’ll fix it!  However, resetting your modem or gateway router may get you back online without having to wait for a repair technician to visit your home or office.

  • Step 1: Turn the modem on. Make sure the modem is turned on and the power light is lit green.

  • Step 2: Reset the modem. To reset the modem, you will need to press the small red reset button on the back of the modem for 30 seconds while the modem is powered on. Press and hold the reset button for a full 30 seconds. Once the lights on the front of the modem go out, you can let go of the button.

  • Step 3: Wait up to 15 minutes. It will take up to 15 minutes for the modem to reconnect. If the service light turns solid green, check to see if you can connect to the Internet. If not, proceed to the next step.

  • Step 4: Look to see if the telephone cable is still plugged into the wall-jack, and that the other end is plugged into the green jack on the back of the modem. If the telephone cable will not fit in the green jack, then (and only then), plug it into the red jack. It may take up to 5 minutes to restore service if the cable was unplugged and plugged back in. Continue to the next step if you still cannot connect to the Internet.

  • Step 5: Grab a pen and piece of paper, and write down the name of each light on the front of the modem, what color it is, and whether it’s blinking or solidly lit. You will be asked this information before we can schedule a technician.
