Reset Your Modem

Like your computer, smartphone and other tech, modems need periodic resets, too, because things can go wrong from time to time. Your modem is like a computer. It has a CPU, memory and local storage – all running on an operating system. Rebooting helps clear out outdated or invalid network information – and reset your system after firmware or software updates.

  1. Unplug the small, black power cord from the back of the modem. Check the front of the modem to ensure that all the lights have turned off.
  2. After 30 seconds, plug in the modem.
    • Once power is restored, wait up to five minutes for the modem to come back online.
    • Some lights may flash on and off while your modem reboots. Wait for modem lights to be fully lit (not blinking).
  3. If you have a router connected, reboot that equipment after your modem is back online.
  4. Test the connection again by attempting to access a public website such as Midco.com.

Reboot Router and Extenders

If you have a separate wireless router, when you reboot your modem, you may need to manually reboot your router, as well.

If you have Midco Freestyle® Wi-Fi, you may also need to manually reboot any extenders you have.
