What happens when Fios goes down?

Complete fiber outage

No internet connection, Fios router shows red globe light, or all services (internet, TV, phone) are down.

Slow speeds or packet loss

Fios connection is active but experiencing reduced speeds, high latency, or intermittent drops.

How do I troubleshoot Fios issues?

  1. 1

    Restart your Fios router

    Unplug the router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait 3-5 minutes for the white globe light to appear.

  2. 2

    Check router status lights

    White globe = normal. Red globe = service issue. Yellow/amber = network problem. Blinking = booting up.

  3. 3

    Test with ethernet cable

    Connect directly to Fios router via ethernet to rule out WiFi issues. If wired works, check WiFi settings.

    Check for local outages

    Visit verizon.com/support or use the My Fios app to see if there's a reported outage in your area.

  5. 5

    Contact Verizon support

    If troubleshooting fails and no outage is reported, contact Fios support via app, website, or 1-800-VERIZON.
