Your Internet cable is not plugged in

message

If you get a “Your Internet cable is not plugged in” message when trying to set up your router, follow

these troubleshooting steps.

•

Make sure that an ethernet or internet cable (or a cable like the one supplied with your router)

is securely connected to the yellow Internet port on the back of the router and to the

appropriate port on your modem. This port on the modem is usually labeled Ethernet.

•

Make sure that your modem is connected to power and is turned on. If it has a power switch,

make sure that it is set to the ON or | (as opposed to O) position.

19

If your internet service is cable, verify that the

cable modem’s CABLE port is connected to the

coaxial cable provided by your ISP.

If your internet service is DSL, make sure that the

DSL phone line is connected to the modem’s DSL

port.

•

If your computer was previously connected to your modem with a USB cable, disconnect the

USB cable.

•

Install the router again.
