Appendix A - Troubleshooting

You can solve many installation issues by resetting all of your equipment:

1. First, power down in this order:

a. Computer (shut down properly, it is not necessary to disconnect power 

to your computer)

b. Vonage Device (unplug power cord from back of device)
c. Router, if you have one (unplug power cord from back of device)
d. DSL or Cable Modem (unplug power cord from back of device)

NOTE:

 Leave the modem unplugged for at least 60 seconds. (The 60 seconds is to 

ensure the modem doesn’t “remember” old information). Confirm that all cables are 
snapped firmly into place.

2. Turn the devices on one at a time in this order:

a. DSL or Cable Modem - Wait for the lights to come back on before 

continuing. This may take several minutes. Most modems have a light 
that should be lit solid when start-up is complete. If necessary, refer to 
the information that came with your modem.

b. Router, if you have one - Wait for the lights to come back on (consult 

router manual for sequence) before continuing. Wait at least 30 seconds 
after the lights have stopped blinking.

c. Vonage Device - Wait for the power and phone(s) lights to be a solid 

green. (The Internet light will blink whenever there is activity.)

d. Computer

At this point, you should have both a dial tone and Internet connectivity.

3. Try opening your web browser to view a web page. If you cannot view a web page, 

check to see whether your Cable or DSL prover is having connection problems in 
your area.

If your Internet connection doesn’t work:
