My Internet / WAN light is not lit. What does that indicate?
The internet / WAN light represents your connection to the internet. A working connection is indicated by a solid or flashing (when there is activity) green light and means your connection has authenticated. If there is a problem authenticating, the internet light will generally show as any one of the following:
- Flashing Red
- Solid Red
- Off
Note: If you are a new customer and are using a modem not purchased through us then this is normal ! You will simply need to configure the modem with your new username and password.
