If your Modem does not say ‘Connected’, try pressing the right hand button on the top of the Modem
to establish a connection.

the Modem to indicate a connection.
If you are connected wirelessly, ensure that the connection is active and there are no errors. It may
be worthwhile connecting your computer via an Ethernet cable to ensure that the wireless setup is
not at fault.
