what 2 leds on the front are doing that? There's multiple leds on it.
Usually if its the top 2, the top is power and the 2nd is downstream.
-the CAX is one of those routers that has to be connected back to the isp. If you turn it on and it doesn't detect a coax detection (downstream), it'll continue to cycle until it does. You might check with the ISP as that sounds like the issue
- The led number 2 lights up and then cuts off the other ethernet ports are not working besides the multigig port
Ok. That helps. You're showing locked in. Can you access it via wifi?
Did you try other cables? And different devices?
How old is it?
What is connected to the LAN ports? Anything or are these coming on by themselves?
Have you tried a factory reset and setup from scratch with the ISP Coax cable disconnected from the modem at first then give a minute, reconnect it and walk thru the Setup wizard?
Try connecting any ethernet PC to each of the LAN ports to see the color behavior...
- Yes ive soft reset and hard reset
There are 2 cyptro miners that are connected i will plug my laptop up but I'm just going to grab and switch with 4 ports and us the ethernet from there if issue can't be resolved and the light for 2 port come on orange and turns off after a few sec and this is the only one that turns on and off but no data coming thru it
