Check all of your cabling connections that they are tight and
secured. This includes the cables from the wall to your modem,
between the router and modem, and, if available, from the router
to your PC. Ensure that your LEDs are not lit
Red
or not at all. For

!
Ensure that you are using Ethernet cables and not telephone
cables between the router and modem or router and PC. Ethernet
cables use a wider RJ-45 style plug using 8 wires where
telephone style plugs use the smaller RJ-11 style plug using
4 to 6 wires.
The plug on the left is RJ-45; the plug on the right is RJ-11 – use only
RJ-45.
