Modem Indicator Lights are Off or Flashing

The lights on the indicator panel are there to alert you to problems. If alert lights are on or flashing, something may be wrong.


"POWER" Light

If the "POWER" light is off, the modem does not detect a power source. Ensure the power supply is plugged into a working outlet.


The "POWER" light may also be off if the device is in Standby Mode. Press the "STANDBY" button on the top of the device to end Standby mode.


"RECEIVE" Light

If the "RECEIVE" light is off, then your modem does not detect a connection. Ensure all cables are properly attached. If this doesn't work, reset your device by holding the "STANDBY" button on the top of the device for 30 seconds.


If the "RECEIVE" light is flashing, the your modem is actively searching for a connection from the network. This may be an issue with your internet provider.


"SEND" Light

If the "SEND" light is off, then your modem does not detect a connection. Ensure all cables are properly attached. If this doesn't work, reset your device by holding the "STANDBY" button on the top of the device for 30 seconds.


If the "SEND" light is flashing, the your modem is actively searching for a connection from the network. This may be an issue with your internet provider.


"ONLINE" Light

If the "ONLINE" light is off, then your modem does not detect a connection. Ensure all cables are properly attached. If this doesn't work, reset your device by holding the "STANDBY" button on the top of the device for 30 seconds.


If the "ONLINE" light is flashing, the your modem is sending or receiving data over the internet. There may no problem at all, as long as no other lights are off or flashing.


"ACTIVITY" Light

If the "ACTIVITY" light is off, then your modem does not detect a connection. Ensure all cables are properly attached. If this doesn't work, reset your device by holding the "STANDBY" button on the top of the device for 30 seconds.


If the "ACTIVITY" light is flashing, the your modem is sending or receiving data over the internet. There may no problem at all, as long as no other lights are off or flashing.
