    What to do if Arris Modem is not getting on the internet?

      If you are not getting on the Internet, it may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time you power up your Arris Telephony Modem, especially when many people are online. Always leave your Telephony Modem plugged into AC power and connected to the cable system. Check your cable connections, ensuring they are finger-tight and the coax cable is not pinched or sharply bent. If you have splitters, remove them and connect the modem directly to the outlet. If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cable company for assistance.

      If you are not getting on the internet (Ethernet), and are using a hub, make sure the hub is turned on. Ensure you're using the correct Ethernet cable: the supplied cable for direct connection to a computer, or a cross-over cable for connection to a hub or home router. You can also try pressing the Reset button on the back of the Arris Telephony Modem.

    Why is my Arris Modem internet so slow?
    • A
      Amy PrattAug 19, 2025
      If you can get on the Internet, but everything is slow, the website you are visiting may be experiencing high traffic. If other sites download quickly, wait a few minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect connection speed. If your Arris Telephony Modem is connected to a LAN, other communications on the LAN may slow down your connection.

    How to troubleshoot Arris Modem when the power light is off?
    • A
      Allison BartonAug 27, 2025
      If your Arris Telephony Modem is plugged in, but the Power light is off, check all power connections to ensure the power cord is firmly plugged in at both ends. For Model TM602S only: ensure the rear panel power switch is in the ON position. If plugged into a power strip, make sure the strip is switched on. Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible. Test the outlet with another device like a lamp. Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

If not, ensure the modem is plugged in and the coax connection is secure. * Is the Telephone LED lit? If blinking, a phone in the house may be off the hook. If not lit, phone service may not be provisioned; contact your service provider. * Ensure the phone is plugged into the correct port on the modem and try a different phone and cable. If problems persist, contact your service provider. If the modem is plugged into a wall outlet, unplug the RJ-11 connector and plug in a known working phone.
