How to Restart Your Router & Set-Top Box

 The best way to troubleshoot internet or TV problems is a reboot. Restarting/rebooting your router or set-top box resets your device and often fixes the problem.

Should you reboot?

If you have no connection, check to see if there is a service outage in your area before you reboot your equipment.

Restart Your Router or Modem

  1. Press the power button or unplug the power cord to your router.
  2. Turn it back on or plug it back into the electrical outlet and wait 30 seconds.
    Note: Always keep your router plugged in and turned on so that your TV can function properly. Rebooting is the only time to turn it off.

If that doesn’t help, try a factory reset:

  1. Find the Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use a pen or straighten out a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds. The reset process will start about 10 seconds after you release the button.

  2. When the router resets, the lights on the front panel will turn off, and then some will start flashing.
  3. When the globe/internet light glows, the router has completed its reset process. Try to access the internet as you normally do.

Note: A factory reset undoes any settings you may have changed. If you changed your router name and password, a factory reset undoes that change.

Restart Your Set-Top Box

  1. Unplug the power cord to your Set-Top Box from the electrical outlet.
  2. Wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in to the electrical outlet.
  3. Wait for the time lights to appear on the front of the Set-Top Box.
  4. Turn on the Set-Top Box and wait a few minutes while the Interactive Media Guide updates.
  5. Check to see if this resolves your issue. If it doesn’t, the Set-Top Box might need to be re-initialized. Please chat with us.

Note: Be sure you are disconnecting the electrical power cord—not the coaxial cable. A coaxial cable that is not fastened securely can cause problems. Take a second to make sure all connections are secure.

The Average Ping Speed

  By Jacob Andrew Many services, particularly games, measure performance according to ping. Acquiring your ping is relatively easy, but interpreting the results requires a deeper understanding of Internet bandwidth and server response times. To get your average ping, use tools available natively to Windows, or online speed measurement websites. Understanding Ping Ping measures the time it takes for a remote device to respond to your ping request. The results are measured in milliseconds or ms. As part of the Internet Control Messaging Protocol, the ICMP ping command requires a specific destination. Your response time varies depending on the location of that destination, typically a server or router. Pinging your gateway address, for example, should result in less than a 1 ms response time. Pinging google.com, however, may take 50ms. A single ping is also affected by a number of factors, including load on the server and congestion on your own network; this is why ping commands ...
