What Do I Do If My DSL Is Not Working?
Check the status lights on your DSL
Is the "Link" or "Data" solid green?
If not, check the cable connection between the DSL modem and your computer/router to ensure it is plugged in on both ends.
If it is correctly plugged in, the cable might be defective or,if you
are using a router there may be a problem with the router.
If there may be a problem with your router then consult with your
Network Administrator or the computer technician that installed your network.
Is the "Ready" or "Modem" light solid green.
If it is not solid green or is blinking, or red, there may bea problem with the DSL Circuit.
I have solid green lights but can't get out on The Internet.

- Unplug the power cable from the back of the DSL modem.
- Power down your computer.
- Plug the power cord back into the DSL modem.
