How To Handle a Broadband Outage

With a Router, NEVER HIT THE RESET BUTTON ON THE ROUTER. It will remove all of your personalized settings and will have to be reset. If you have a cable modem, turn off the modem and the router. Turn on the modem until the link light goes solid, then, plug in the router. If it's a linksys WRT54G router (Wireless G, my favorite), the power light will start blinking and then go solid. You're done. With DSL service, Turn off the router and the modem. Turn on the modem until the DSL sync light is solid, and then turn on the router. The power light will blink and then go solid. And you're done.
