Re: Actiontec wifi loses connectivity....
If everything you throw at it says "signal good on PC side", the problem might be on the WAN side of the router. Try rebooting the ONT. It does wonders for weird problems.
The backup battery has to be out of the circuit to totally drop power to the ONT. Copied from this post: »Re: Upload speed much faster than download speeds on Fios , the description is worse than actually doing it. Remember that you'll lose your phone, internet, and FiOS TV guide info when it's down.
To do this, you will have to go to where your ONT's battery backup unit was installed. Now unplug the ac cord, and open up the BBU. Look inside and you should see a battery with two leads, one of which has a black or green pull-tab. Unplug that cable by softly pulling it back away from the casing. Let the ONT stay without power for about 10-15 minutes. Plug everything back, in reverse and let things come back up. You only need to wait a few minutes instead of 10 - 15 minutes as the post says. |
