If the error persists, a hardware problem might exist. For help with a hardware problem, contact technical support

Power LED Remains Solid Amber or Blinks White
The Power LED lights solid amber for about two minutes and then turns solid white, indicating that the startup
procedure is complete and the modem router is ready. If the Power LED remains solid amber and does not turn
solid white, a failure occurred or the modem router is malfunctioning.
If the Power LED blinks white slowly and continuously, the modem router firmware is corrupted.This can happen if
a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the modem router detects a problem with the firmware.
If the Power LED does not turn solid white, do the following:
1. Turn the power off and back on and wait several minutes to see if the modem router recovers.
2. If the modem router does not recover, press and hold the Reset button to return the modem router to its factory
settings.
If the error persists, a hardware problem might exist. For recovery instructions or help with a hardware problem,
