| Cable Modem Lights and What They Mean (How to diagnose problems with a modem) |
| The lights on modems
vary from model to model. When first connected, the modem will cycle through the lights one
by one until the first four green lights are solid (not blinking). The information below details what the lights mean on two of the most common cable modems. |

If blinking the modem may need to be reconfigured through tech support.

when solid. If blinking, the modem is receiving a signal that is
out of its operating range or no signal at all. Please call support.
