  • Check the lights on the front panel of your modem. Note the first light that is off and refer to Know Your Modem (CableDSL) as to where the error occurred.
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable is connected to both your modem and your computer or router.

Cable Internet

  • Check each end of your coax cable. Hand-tighten if required.
  • If the Standby light is on (5100 series modem only), the Internet connection is off. Press the Standby button to reconnect to the Internet.
  • If both the Power and Receive lights are flashing then the modem has been disabled. Please contact Northwestel for support.

DSL Internet

  • Ensure the DSL cable is well connected to both your telephone jack and your modem.
