Downstream light, Upstream light, and Online light

My Downstream light keeps blinking, my upstream light is off and my online light is off as well. I have disabled my AT&T WiFi so the signal are not competing with each other. I have also did a system reset as well. Both my Nighthawk AX8 WiFi Cable Modem Router, Model CAX80 and AT&T Modem Router are both brand new. Any ideas??

    You have the CAX80 and a AT&T modem router? 

    I wasn't aware the cax80 was compatible with att service. 

    What ISP do you have and whatt is your full setup?

  • Once the modem syncs on a downstream channel, the Downstream light will go solid green and the Upstream light will start blinking green. The Upstream light will go solid green once it has established a connection. Depending on your service, additional channels may bond together.
