Lights and messages
- The indoor-unit job aid allows three to five minutes after power-up; brief darkness and changing colors can be normal. Blue steady means online, blue flashing an upgrade; red steady means offline, red flashing a detected fault. Record duration and pattern before requesting help.
- On the WiFi model, compare an already connected Ethernet device with the affected wireless device. If only wireless fails, record location and obstruction differences. The original guide requires a hard surface and three inches of ventilation clearance. USB charging is not the documented Ethernet connection.
A light is one clue, not a complete diagnosis. Match the indicator’s label and the on-screen message.
Before buying parts
- Read-only checks on the existing installation. Leave powered coax, antenna, reset and provisioning alone. Damaged, wet or overheating equipment needs provider help. Keep passwords and account details private.
