Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Spectrum Is Down
- 1
Restart your modem and router
Unplug power for 30 seconds, then plug modem back in first, wait 2 minutes, then router. This resolves many connectivity issues.
- 2
Check cable connections
Verify all coax cables are tightly connected to wall outlets, modem, and TV boxes. Loose cables cause intermittent failures.
- 3
Test with direct modem connection
Connect a computer directly to the modem (bypass router) to determine if the issue is your router or Spectrum's network.
- 4
Check modem lights
Solid blue/green lights indicate good connection. Flashing or red lights suggest signal issues or outages. Consult modem manual.
