Modem not working after factory reset

I restarted my modem multiple times and it connected to my devices but said “no internet”.

based on what I read here, I factory reset the model and now the 5GH light is not turning on and it still doesn’t work.

should I reset it again? I have remote work tomorrow morning and have been turning on/off for 3 hours

    Hi @al2020

    Unplug the modem and actually WAIT about 3 or 4 minutes before plugging it back in. I know it sounds strange, but just try it.

    Once you plug it back in, wait for about 5 minutes. You "should" get the 2nd and 3rd lights turn blue.

    Hopefully once they turn blue, everything should be back.

    If that doesn't work, you will unfortunately need to contact Fizz support, to have them run a trace on your line, and possibly send a tech if needed.

    I agree with this suggestion. I had a similar issue a few months ago and actually waiting a few minutes before plugging back the modem did the trick. Simply unplugging it and plugging it in immediately would result in the modem not syncing, but waiting a few minutes before plugging it back in did the trick!
