I went through the shut down computer and remove power form modem drill
no joy
so i just ignored it after that ...waiting to see how long before internet came back...
could be a few minutes or 12 hours
the only thing going on was internet light blinking
then
pc link/cable link lit briefly
message and cable activity light lit briefly
then back to internet light only blinking
then all the lights started blinking briefly
then cable link/pc link blinking but internet light off
this is occurring in a period of five minutes
finally....pc link and cable link are lit....everyhting else is off...
pc link light is somewhat intermittant...blinks off briefly ....
I sit and watch to see what happens next
nothing happens so I hit the on/off button in front of modem
Internet back up
