– Unplug the modem from the AC power. Press and hold the reset
switch while plugging the modem into AC power. Continue holding the switch. Release the
switch when all lights come on (about 6 seconds). This will return the modem to a factory
“out of box” condition.
This should only be done if the cable modem has been taken out of
service in one location and is being reconnected to a different service, or if instructed to
do so by your cable company.
