Trouble Shooting Tips

 

 

 

 

Cable TV Fixes:

Do you see a black/blue screen saying NO SIGNAL?

If yes, find the remote that came with your TV. Locate the INPUT or SOURCE button. Press that button to scroll through all the inputs until you get your picture back. (Make sure if you have a Cable box or Converter box that it is powered on.)

 

​

Do you see Signal Unavailable and have an Entone/Amino cable box? 

Locate your Arris TG2472 Gateway modem device  (pictured to the left),

and then pull the power cord.  Make sure all the lights go out on the 

modem, wait 10 seconds then plug back in.  Once you see the MoCA light

start flashing the cable box should then start working.

​



​

​​Do you see "Press OK to Watch TV"?

Press the OK button on the Entone/Amino box remote. The STB button at top of the remote should light up.  If it does not, press the STB button, then the OK button.  Helpful hint: Make sure the STB button is lighting up at the top of the remote when trying to control the Set Top Box functions like Channel up/down, OK, Guide, Menu.

Internet Fixes: 

Power cycle your internet equipment. 

On Cable

Power cycle your Arris cable modem by unplugging the power cord. (If there is a battery in the modem-YOU MUST PULL IT OUT.) Once all the lights have gone off, put the battery back in FIRST, followed by the power cord.  If you have a separate WiFi router like a TP-Link or Netgear for example, unplug the power cord to that as well, allowing all 4 green or blue lights to go solid on the Arris device before powering back up.   

 

If the DS or US lights don't go solid, check that your RF/Coaxial cable is screwed on tight and that all the other cable wires inside and outside are not damaged and screwed on tight.

​

If that didn't seem to fix it, try turning off one internet connected device (cell phone, Roku, gaming system for example) in the house at a time, until the internet seems back up to speed.

If you use a Streaming service such as Netflix or Hulu, please make sure you have changed the data settings in your accounts.  We recommended either the medium or low setting.  You can find the directions for this by googling Netflix data settings.  It will give you step by step instructions.

**You must google each different streaming service for their specific instructions.**



On Fiber

Power cycle your ONT (little gray box with green lights) by unplugging the power cord then plugging it back in.  Then unplug the power cord to the separate WiFi router (white or gray device usually setting next to it), Want until 3 green lights go solid on the ONT device to plug the power cord back in on with router.

​WIFI Router Tips

- Check to see if your WIFI router needs a software update.  If you are not sure how, call us to ask.

- Age of your WIFI router matters!  Technology moves and changes at the speed of light it seems.  Consider how old it is and if there are better options available to you.  Call us if you need help finding the right solution for you.

-Older devices having connection issues?  Older devices may need your newer router WIFI settings changed to help them connect better.

​​​​Digital Phone Fixes:

Try power cycling your modem and your cordless phone base.

If the phone is still not working, make sure your phone is directly into line 1 port on the back of the Arris device.  

 

We recommend purchasing A BATTERY BACKUP/SURGE PROTECTOR

to power your modem, router, phone base, TV, cable box and more during 

a short** power outage allowing you to keep using your phone, Internet and TV.

**Duration depending on model you purchase.

NOTE: This device saves you money$$ by protecting your devices from power surges

and power flickers.  This device also keeps your service keep working during power outages if used correctly.
