- Turn the cable modem off, and then turn it back on.
- The cable modem should have power (Light G is green), and the Online indicator should be lit (Light D is green).
- If either of these lights is not lit, disconnect and reconnect the coax and power cable on the back of the modem to ensure a proper connection.
- Check to make sure the computer is properly connected to the cable modem. If using an Ethernet connection, the Ethernet light (Light C) should be lit and blinking. If using a WiFi connection, the WiFi light (Light B) should be green and blinking.
- If using Ethernet, ensure the Ethernet cable is properly attached to the computer and the modem. For further troubleshooting, check here: Modem Has Signal, Can't Connect.
- If using WiFi, make sure the modem's correct wireless password is being used. This password is located on a sticker on the back of the modem next to "Pre-Shared Key".
- If the wireless password is incorrect, a factory reset may be needed. You can do this by using a non-metallic object to hold in the recessed reset button located in the picture below. Hold the reset button for 15 to 20 seconds while the modem is powered on. This will reset the modem back to the factory defaults. The password on the back of the modem should work now.
- For further wireless troubleshooting check here: Reset WiFi Connection or Improving Network Compatibility Across Older Devices
