Modem failed - need a new one

My modem has died. No lights on.  I have been through all the diagnostics, the outlet is good, etc.  How do I get a new one?  Is there a 3rd party modem that will work as a replacement?  Thanks.

    Your best bet right now is to wait until Monday when the reps on this site  (Liz , Remy , Damian ) can look into this and make a determination. Typically, they will send you a modem for you to install.   Wait for the reps to weigh in. 

  • Hi cmcorrigan,
     

    Thank you for reaching out, I'll send you another modem. Please expect the replacement soon; you can use its box to return the old modem. For your convenience, the return label is included in the outer pouch. 
     

    Let me know how the new modem works out for you!

     

    Thanks,

    Liz

      Great, thanks.  The service address is the best one for non-USPS shipping.

      The modem arrived and I installed it according to the directions, but it never completes the install process.  It gets stuck in "install parameter" where it says "tuning".  It takes about 30 minutes to reach 100%, then starts over.  I let this run all night and it is still stuck in the tuning loop.

      I would call the tech support line so they can troubleshoot it live with you.
