Step-by-Step Instructions
Intermittent connection & No connection
- Reset your modem by unplugging the power cable from the modem (and the router if you are using one).

- Wait for lights to stop blinking on the modem (and wireless router if you have one).
- If you are connecting via wireless, make sure you’re within range of your wireless router and that the wireless connection on your computer is turned ON.
