The most common method of troubleshooting your router is to turn it off, then back on again. Your
router can then reload its custom settings, and other devices (such as the modem) will be able to
rediscover the router and communicate with it. This process is called rebooting.
To restart your router using the power cord, do the following:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the router and the modem.
2. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cord to the modem. Make sure it has power.
3. Wait until the modem's online indicator has stopped blinking (about two minutes). Reconnect
the power cord to the router.
4. Wait until the flashing green LED between the Reset button and power port is solid. Wait two
minutes before trying to connect to the internet from a computer.
