Getting a flashing red Broadband light

When I boot up my BGW210 modem I'm getting a flashing red Broadband light and my system is telling me no internet. The fiber modem shows a steady green data light. Why am I not getting internet and what does the flashing red Broadband light mean?

We are here to help you with your gateway, Cyberfitz7.

 

Here is more information on what the lights mean for your gateway.

 

Flashing red lights mean that a singal could not be established. We suggest that you reboot your gateway, which would refresh everything.

 

You can do this by:

  • Unplugging from wall
  • Wait 10-15 seconds and then plug it back in

 

Let us know if this helps.

I have tried rebooting and resetting, but the red flashing light is still there.  What else can I try?

Rather than create your own new post, you've done a "me too" comment on two different threads with two different gateways and two different services and not provided any details pertinent to your setup.

Are you on fiber or regular Uverse Internet?

Which gateway do you have?

If you have fiber, what do the lights on the ONT box look like?

We're here to help get your internet working again, @cooley606102.

 

If you've already tried rebooting your modem, there are a few additional steps you can try.

 

To start, we recommend trying to factory reset your gateway. Factory resetting can often help with fixing any internal problems the equipment may be experiencing that a normal restart may not have been able to catch. WARNING: This will return all gateway settings to a default state. Any custom Wi-Fi passwords, Wi-Fi names, SSID, Static IP, and Port Forwarding rules will be lost. Settings can be restored, scroll to accepted solutions for steps to restore settings.

 

Another thing we recommend doing is checking our outage page to see if your service happens to be affected by an outage. If this is the case, then any information pertaining to the outage (and when it's expected to be resolved) can be found on the page if it's available.

 

If the steps above don't help, could you please let us know what kind of internet equipment & service you have? (Fiber, UVerse, or DSL). This will help us with looking into your service with you and determing what steps we need to take to get this resolved with you.

 

Let us know how these steps work for you!
