My modem is running fine but my internal is currently down. I’ve tried restarting my router then both my router and modem, but no luck. I’ve switched Ethernet cables and the issue continues.

Did you do all that in the right order?
It may help to reboot the whole network in the right order.
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
