My Wireless Internet Connection Stops Working Sometimes; I Can Get On The Internet, But Everything Is Slow; I Don't Have A Dial Tone When I Pick Up The Phone - Why - Arris Touchstone TG2472 User Manual

Does your connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off "Broadcast
SSID" you need to manually enter the name of your wireless LAN in the connection utility.
Change your security mode to "disabled". Enable one of the other security modes as soon
as you find the problem.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Telephony Gateway router. If you think
this has happened, see

My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes

This is usually caused by interference. Two common sources are 2.4GHz "remote"
telephones and microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the interfering product, try using a
different channel or setting Protected Mode.

I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow

If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trouble servicing all
the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few minutes and try again. Usage
during peak hours may also affect the connection speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connections, may slow
down your connection.

I don't have a dial tone when I pick up the phone - why?

In order for telephone service to be functional on the Telephony Gateway, telephone
service must have been purchased from the service provider and configured on your
Telephony Gateway. The following steps should help in identifying the source of the
problem.
1. Is the Power LED lit?
•
If not, check to make sure the Telephony Gateway is plugged in and the outlet has
power.
•
If the LED is lit, go to the next step.
2. Is the Online LED lit?
•
If not, check the coax connection at the Telephony Gateway and the wall. Ensure
they are connected and tight. If they are and you do not have dial tone, contact your
service provider.
•
If the Online LED is lit, go to the next step.
3. Is the Telephone (Tel 1 or Tel 2) LED lit?
•
If not, phone service has not been set up on that line. Contact your service provider.
•
If it is blinking, there is a phone off hook somewhere in the house. Find that phone
and hang it up.
•
If it is lit, go to the next step.
4. Is the phone plugged directly into the Telephony Gateway?
•
Make sure the phone is plugged into the port on the back of the Telephony Gateway
labeled "Tel 1" for line 1, and "Tel 2" for line 2.
