Troubleshooting FibreWire Internet-You can do it!
Start with these basic troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure all connections are secure.
Something as simple as a loose connection could be the culprit!- Is the power cord securely connected to the modem and to the outlet?
- Is the cable securely connected to the modem?
- If you use eero devices, is the ethernet cord securely connected between the main eero unit and the modem?
- 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.
