Downstream LED flashing
I have the Nighthawk c7000 cable modem router. It was working fine since I bought it in April 2016 until recently. For the past few weeks the downstream green light has been flashing. I restarted and rebooted it several times. I also set it back to factory reset, all of which didn't help the issue. Yesterday night the light finally stopped flashing and was solid green, which I thought the issue was corrected so I marked my first post as having the solution. This morning the light is flashing again. Any ideas on how to correct this?
Hello ATVrider
it means the modem is scanning for a downstream channel I would check with your ISP see if they can look at there tools to see if your levels are off or that something is wrong with the connection.

- Thank you so much. The cable provider came out today, changed the lines outside because they looked worn, now the light stopped flashing and speeds are back up.
