Customer Article-Troubleshooting FibreWire Internet-You can do it!

Start with these basic troubleshooting steps:


1. Make sure all connections are secure.
   Something as simple as a loose connection could be the culprit!
  1.    Is the power cord securely connected to the modem and to the outlet?
  2.    Is the cable securely connected to the modem?
  3.    If you use eero devices, is the ethernet cord securely connected between the main eero unit and the modem?
2. Reboot your modem
Unplug the power cord from the modem for 30 seconds then plug it back in. It can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes for the modem to come back online.
