When troubleshooting Internet issues, one of the best troubleshooting steps is to power cycle all of the affected equipment, such as your Metronet provided ONT, router, and the device having connectivity issues. Generally speaking, it is best to leave the equipment unplugged for 30 seconds before plugging it back in again.
It’s also important to ensure that cabling is plugged in securely. If only a single device is having connectivity issues, that information may help to isolate the cause.
How to Check the Internet status on your ONT
If the POWER and PON indicators are showing proper operations, then there may be an issue with your networking equipment or the end device itself.
If the ONT status indicators are showing problems, power cycle the ONT.
- Unplug the ONT
- Wait 30 seconds before plugging it back in.
- Check whether the Internet issue has been resolved.
