LAN light blinking orange on modem


New to Koodo internet.

i received and installed the modem and router yesterday.

Followed the instructions to the letter. On Cable Internet. I have connection but the WiFi connection isn’t stable.

the LAN light is blinking orange. I checked that The coaxial cable was secure and tightened and I have restarted the modem. No progress.

 

up until then, I had no issues with previous internet connection using the same coaxial cable.

 

thank you.

You could check the status of the modem with the light using this page https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/understanding-your-modem-and-router?

From the description, your modem might be trying to update its firmware.

@Ibgraphik If you are still having issues with the connection after following the troubleshooting provided by Dinh above, please let us know.


I appreciate that you are taking the time to follow up on this. The modem doesn’t look like that of the link provided. It’s a Sercom Model DM1000. I wouldn’t know how to update the firmware.

Thank you.

 


I am having this exact same issue. Not looking good for us if you’ve had this problem for 6 days and no solution…


@tvknight92 I thought perhaps the cable or connection was faulty. Unlikely. 
I do have internet but it is patchy sometimes.

The userguide for the DMA1000 says that blinking orange for the LAN light indicates that data is being passed between the modem and the connected device.

When you say patchy sometimes, can you be more specific? Do you go without internet or slow or intermittent internet for minutes? Hours? Several times a day? The week?

Have you gone into the modem interface yet? It does give an event log which you vcould see what it might say about the times you ahve patchy connecton

@Ibgraphik 

We see that you managed to speak to a rep. Are you still having issues with the internet connection?

@tvknight92 

Is the LAN led on your modem still solid red?

Its been a couple of weeks and received a new modem.

So far speeds end up at 1mbs at best. Horribly alow and no help from koodo.

Tech and Koodo disagree on what the problem is

From this snapshot, The LAN port seems to be issue between LAN port of the modem and router. Was the white router properly plugged into this modem?

If it is flashing orange, it was trying to update firmware, there might be issue with the update. I would recommend you reset the device to its default factory settings to see if that can help.

Yes, blinking orange

I have tried a hard reset a few times but same issue.
Is there a way to login into the IP address and force the update?

Factory reset normally would help you out of the update circle, and let you use the modem. I wonder if there is other issue.

If the modem allows you to access its admin control, those information should be at the back (or bottom) of the modem.

I think its something else
Tech checked the line and adjusted something but the issue returned. These modems seem like duds from what I read online

 

@Flo Koodo

Any tips here? pretty close to canceling this service. Had Teksavy for 10 years and never had an issue

Support for the internet over the forum is limited though. I would recommend you schedule a call back from them and ask for technical support.
