After setup
The internet appears to be unavailable
If your router is not communicating with the internet, the problem may appear as a “Cannot find [Internet address]”
message in your web browser. If you know that the internet address is correct, and if you’ve tried several valid
internet addresses with the same result, there could be a problem with your ISP or your modem or modem router.
Some potential fixes:
Make sure that the ethernet and power cables are securely connected.
Make sure the power outlet that your router is connected to has power.
Contact your ISP and ask about outages in your area.
The most common method of troubleshooting your router is to restart it by turning it off, then back on again. Your
router can then reload its custom settings, and other devices (such as the modem) will be able to rediscover the
router and communicate with it. To restart your router using the power cord:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem or modem router.
2. Wait 10 seconds, and reconnect the power cord to the modem or modem router. Make sure it has power.
3. Wait until the online light on your modem or modem router has stopped blinking (about two minutes). Reconnect
the power cord to the router.
4. Wait until the power light stops blinking. Wait two minutes before trying to connect to the internet from a computer.
