Common Troubleshooting Suggestions

The modem does not register a cable connection

The modem works with a standard, 75-ohm, RF coaxial cable. If you are using a different cable, your cable modem gateway will not function properly. Contact your service provider to determine whether you are using the correct cable.

There is no dial tone when I lift the telephone handset

Your telephone wiring may be connected to the wrong RJ-11 port on the cable modem gateway. The cable modem gateway has two telephone ports. Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone port.

There may be a problem with your telephone set. Use a different telephone set and listen to hear dial tone.

There may be a problem with your home telephone wiring. Use a telephone and connect directly to the same RJ-11 port on the back of the unit. If the dial tone is working here but does not work at other locations in the home, a professional may need to diagnose and repair a problem with your telephone wiring.

Verify that the phone company has removed the previous telephone service from your home telephone wiring.

Your telephone service may not be enabled from your cable telephony service provider. Contact your cable telephony service provider for more information.
