Someone on FB said it went from docsis3.1 to 3.0. the down light is supposed to be blue. Randomly moving the modem a certain way I can get it blue but only a few seconds. It’s also making my speeds almost dial up speeds. Is there a way to fix it?
If you move it and it changes behaviour, that’s some sort of bad mechanical contact. Cabling, socket.
Cancel the service and get Fiber optics.
Could be a firmware update that they may have pushed out. Have you tried calling your carrier?
It’s just a modem that I bought myself cause I upgraded my plan with my ISP to 1gb and the modem they provided couldn’t do those speed. But the modem does have a login page and says there was a SW upgrade that failed in the logs
Probably a bad modem or bad ethernet cable
If the it’s connected with coax, make sure the cable is screwed all the way in. I doubt turning it off and back on won’t do anything, but it doesn’t hurt to try
It should be blue if it’s bonded with all carriers to make docsis 3.1. Could be the modem could also be a RF issue assuming you’re in a HFC network.
Have you logged into the modem to check the error logs for reoccurring errors and also check the signal level screen for Uncorrectables.
I just did and saw the software update failed and a bunch of event types that I have no clue what they mean.
Try going to the manufacturers support website and downloading its newest firmware onto a computer and manually updating it. Id download it from my phones internet but you could use someone else’s network.
Do a factory reset in their.
I guess that is by pressing that small reset button? If so I already did that twice. If it isna software update issue, it fails either way
I meant inside the modems software.
Ok so how would I do that then?

No where in there is there a reset. I’ve looked but anyway I have a tech coming to look at it on Saturday. Hopefully he can fix it or at the very least if he has modems on hand go back to renting
We used to have a modem like that. Our upload was green but the download was blue. It’s just if they offer 3.1 in ur area that supports it. If not will be green. Will still work like normal. What Xfinity told me.
My ISP did tell me today that there was an outage and that they are working quickly to “fix” it but if they aren’t in the area “fixing” it where would they be fixing it?

If you’ve already doubled checked the coax connections being nice and tight, call your isp. It’s almost certainly a signal level issue or something else on their end.
Are your speeds poor?
Who cares about lights I just care about the end result LOL
If you have a spare coax cable that you can use for testing (even if it is a short one), try swapping it out, and see if your blue lights come back on.
I’ve had borderline / intermittent coax cables in the past.
Reset it
I’ve tried everything from unplugging it for 60 seconds. Resetting it by that small reset hole to replacing the coax cable. Talked to the ISP they did some resets on their end. Nothing. So they scheduled a tech to come out and take a look.
Had this happen awhile ago where a reset fixed it but this time my speeds barely get over 1Mbps and a simple reset doesn’t do anything.
