Just installed the new modem and got the 5G on the list of available networks, connected to it and worked briefly but now it is no longer available and the lt on the modem is green and flashing slowly. What happened? is this a bad modem?

    Hi @WOOF325

    You need to wait between 15 to 30 mins after the first installation. The modem in the first 15 minutes is making updates and will be reboot couples of times.

    If you still have problem you should try a factory reset

    Using a thin, pointed object, hold the restart button on the Wi-Fi modem for 10+ seconds. 

    Once your modem has restarted, follow the same instructions as when you first installed it.  

    IMPORTANT: this operation will reset any changes that have been made to the settings of your Wi-Fi modem to date. You may also have to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings of your devices (network name, password, etc. .) 

    The default username of your Wi-Fi network, as well as the corresponding password, are written on a sticker affixed to the back of your Wi-Fi modem (Default Wi-Fi network and Default key).

    Yes, this is what I did initially, but it quit and I did not see it on the list anymore. I rebooted the modem, no joy, did a factory reset, still the same, and another reboot still the same.

    Hi @WOOF325

    If you did the factory reset, you need to contact with them to see if they have some other idea

    Let them know that you did a factory reset, and try to use the chat in order to have an interaction with the customer service agent.
