Modem troubleshooting tips

  • Did you know?  If your internet connection is spotty or slow, the best place to start is to reboot your modem.

  • Still not running right? Check to see if your modem firmware is up to date.

Tip: If the firmware link doesn't work, try another browser (Chrome is known to have issues with this kind of link). Or, right-click the link, select "copy link address", then paste the link into a new browser tab.
