After setup
The internet appears to be unavailable
If the internet has difficulty communicating with your router, 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, the message could mean that there’s a problem with your ISP or modem communicating with your router.
Try the following:
•
Make sure that the network and power cables are securely connected.
•
Make sure that the power outlet that your router is connected to has power.
•
Reboot your router.
•
Contact your ISP and ask about outages in your area.
A common way to get your router working again is to reboot it (turn it off, then back on again).
To reboot your router using the power cord:
1.
Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem.
2.
Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cord to the modem. Make sure it has power.
3.
Wait until the modem’s online indicator has stopped blinking (about two minutes). Reconnect the power cord to the
router.
4.
Wait until the light on top of the router stops blinking. Wait two minutes before trying to connect to the internet from
a computer.
