We provide our customers with troubleshooting steps and assistance related specifically to our internet service. We have spent many hours researching and testing these steps and guidelines to assure that they apply to our service, and are easy to read and understand.

Our Cable Internet Support Guide (Adobe PDF Format) is an invaluable reference for CableNet service and provides you with the information you need to keep your service performing at its best. You can also find our Terms and Boundaries of support, as well as the information regarding service call support and service call fees.

Cable Modem Lights and What They Mean (How to diagnose problems with a modem)

The lights on modems vary from model to model. When first connected, the modem will cycle through the lights one by one until the first four green lights are solid (not blinking). The information below details what the lights mean on two of the most common cable modems.

 

 

ARRIS TOUCHSTONE CM550 CABLE MODEM

POWER: The modem has sufficient power when solid. If blinking the modem may need to be reconfigured through tech support.

DS: The modem is receiving a strong signal when solid. If blinking, the modem is receiving a signal that is out of its operating range or no signal at all. Please call support.

US: The modem has a good upstream signal sending back to the network when solid. If blinking, there is usually a line issue stopping the signal from getting back to us. Please call support.

ONLINE: The modem is locked on to our server and online when solid. If blinking, you should call our tech support for assistance.

LINK: The computer has an active connection to the network and internet, and there is communication going back and forth. If it is not lit up, this usually indicates an issue with the cable, router, or PC connected to the modem.

 

 

MOTOROLA SURFBOARD SB5100 CABLE MODEM

POWER: The modem has sufficient power when solid. If blinking the modem may need to be reconfigured through tech support.

RECEIVE: The modem is receiving a strong signal when solid. If blinking, the modem is receiving a signal that is out of its operating range or no signal at all. Please call support.

ONLINE: The modem is locked on to our server and online when solid. If blinking, you should call our tech support for assistance.

PC ACTIVITY: This amber light signals that the computer has an active connection to the network and internet, and that there is communication going back and forth. If it is not lit up, this usually indicates an issue with the cable, router, or PC connected to the modem.

STANDBY: When in standby, this amber light is lit and all the other lights are out. This signals the modem is paused and will not pass any data. To take the modem out of standby, simply press the button on top of the modem.
