No Ethernet light

[vansonly302]

My CM700 cable modem has no Ethernet light when powered up. I have it connected to an Amplifi Gamers edition wireless mesh system. Had a power surge that fried my tv and router, assumed the modem was ok. Just got a replacement router today and plugged it in. But now the Ethernet light is not on.

If you connect a pc/laptop to it does it work? 

have you tried different lan cables?

I have not tried plugging it directly into a laptop or other device yet.  I have tried multiple etherent cables including the brand new cable that came with the router.

I will try that later today.  I may just purchase a new modem.  I have been without internet long enough.

It might be time for a new modem as storms are great at wrecking electronics. 

But its always worth a shot with the direct connection
