Safe order

Check in this order

  1. Leave the router alone if service works.
  2. If Wi-Fi is slow, check device distance and band choice.
  3. If only Ethernet fails, move the cable to another LAN port.
  4. Compare with the model label because blue meanings vary.

Before a factory reset

A reset can erase Wi-Fi names, passwords, port forwarding, and provider activation state. Use it only after power, cable, outage, and startup checks do not explain the light.

When to call support

Call the provider when Online, Internet, Broadband, US/DS, or Optical never reaches a steady normal state after one clean restart and cable check.

When Wi-Fi settings matter

Change Wi-Fi settings only when service lights are healthy but phones, laptops, or smart devices cannot join the wireless network.
