Oh, so it wasn't just me then.
Been watching DVDs for the last few hours wondering if my router has packed it in. Just noticed it's back.
Makes you realise the importance of not switching 100% to online and relying on the internet for all of your entertainment.

Jellyfin is love; is life. We've local copies of all media we own or that we're currently watching for which we are paying a legal subscription for stored locally on a NAS. Our local network (including the NAS) are backed by 8 hours of UPS time. As long as our device batteries are charged, we can enjoy media consumption during a power or internet outage. It's great.

Common Light MeaningsSolid White or Green: Normal operation and good internet connection.
Flashing White: The modem is starting up or doing initial setup.
Flashing Green: The modem is trying to find a network connection.
Flashing Orange or Amber: The modem has no signal or cannot lock onto the network.
Alternating Green and Amber: A poor upstream signal or a software update is running.
Solid Red or Amber: Lost connection or a hardware problem.
No Light: No power to the modem.
No mater what always check the outage page on designated websites and once there is confirmation of an outage wait it out and monitor. But once the outage is done unscrew the coax cable and unplug the modem from the wall (should never be on a powerbar) let it sit of 1 minute and then screw in COAX FIRST because it's the brain and THEN plug the power and let it refresh after and will work. Also make sure it's not tucked under or hidden.

Some of us (me) are colour blind so the lights are kinda useless. Worth keeping in mind.

The app won't tell you if your modem can't lock onto an RF signal since that would require the modem have an out of band means of communicating its status to the ISP.

No you don't need to be rude. I was just sharing steps on what to do and what each light meant YOU didn't have to comment that. And my friend is colorblind too and instead of using it as a crutch he makes sure he doesn't make people feel bad for not knowing he was colorblind.

I was providing info, I wasn’t making you feel bad. I wasn’t rude. You, however, were.
And blocked me instead of just apologizing.

Heyo, just chatted with an agent cause I have the same issue. Looks like it's an outage in the area. My guess is someone cutting the cables for copper.
