Troubleshooting Tips

If your Internet connection doesn't work:
You can solve many installation issues by resetting all of
your equipment:
1.
First, power down in this order:
a.
Computer (shut down properly, it is not necessary to
disconnect power to your computer)
b.
Vonage Device (unplug power cord from back of device)
c.
Router, if you have one (unplug power cord from back of device)
d.
DSL or Cable Modem (unplug power cord from back of device)
NOTE: Leave the modem unplugged for at least 60 seconds. (The 60
seconds is to ensure the modem doesn't "remember" old information).
Confirm that all cables are snapped firmly into place.
2.
Turn the devices on one at a time in this order:
a.
DSL or Cable Modem - Wait for the lights to come back on
before continuing. This may take several minutes. Most
modems have a light that should be lit solid when start-up
is complete. If necessary, refer to the information that came
with your modem.
b.
Router, if you have one - Wait for the lights to come back on
(consult router manual for sequence) before continuing. Wait
at least 30 seconds after the lights have stopped blinking.
c.
Vonage Device - Wait for the power and phone(s) lights to
be a solid green. (The Internet light will blink whenever
there is activity.)
d.
Computer
