I connected by modem to my Apple computer and in the network settings it shows it connected. But it is not connected to the internet

Hi Frederickjp,

Although it seems like the modem can connect to Wi-Fi, the following things should be checked:

  • If you recently bought the modem, have you activated it by giving your ISP (Internet Service Provider) the HFC MAC ID?
  • Please let us know if the modem's LED lights are on. Power/Send/Receive/Online/Wireless 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands steady or flashing?
  • Reset the modem, then confirm that you can connect to the internet.
  • If you are still unable to access the internet
  • Contact your ISP to perform a Re-Provision (delete HFC MAC ID and add it back) on the modem
  • Also, be sure to:
  • Placing your gateway in the center of your home 
  • Do not place it behind any appliances or electronics.
  • Don’t put it too close to cordless phones (landline not cell), baby monitors, or your microwave
  • Make sure it’s not behind a metal or concrete wall as the signal has a hard time going through them, If any of this was helpful or if you have any questions, please let me know.
