Factory reset the modem.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.

Hello FURRYe38,
Thank you for the response.
I performed a factory reset in the netgear genie and no change.
i contacted my ISP and the only info they could give me was that my modem was "offline" he told me to check the modem, and if the modem is good they can send a tech out to check to line up to my Cox box installed on my home.
the line is a direct line from the cox box, no splitters installed. this is the only active line in the house routed it through the attic myself. yes i am using RG6 cabling.- FURRYe38Apr 29, 2020Guru - Experienced User
Try the reset button on the modem itself. Press for 15 seconds then release.
IF this fails, either take the modem back to where you got it or contact NG support for help and information. Ask about an RMA.
