Hello - I wonder if anyone can help me please?
Since monday, my N*L modem lights are now flashing in a peculiar sequence that I have never seen before and although the PC will connect to the router, I can’t get onto the web/e-mail etc…. I have an AOL Broadband 200 modem that is cloned and has worked ok for about 4 months.
When switching it on, POWER id solid, D/S and ENET are flashing.
After a short while, USB U/S SYNC RDY go solid, then D/S and ENET flash,
then USB U/S SYNC RDY go solid, then D/S and ENET flash. This sequence repeats over and over.
I have connected the pc to the modem via a long Ethernet cable, and can see 1 packet sent and 0 received.
I have had a quick look around an Ntl modem forum, and they seem to point out that dodgy light sequences usually mean that clone modems have been spotted and re-programmed by Ntl.
I know very little about this, so any pointers as to what has happened and how to fix it (are there any tuts I can read) would be very useful.
Is my modem knackered or can I get back to free Internet once again?
Thanks for your help,
M.
