Actiontec Modem Won't Work!
So our dsl internet, through Qwest, was extremely slow. So my husband and his friend throught they could solve the problem. They didn't. I fixed the internet problem, but now our modem doesn't work! We used our friends modem, the internet works fine now. What they did was push the reset button on the back of the modem. Now when you plug it in, the power light glows red and the DSL and the Ethernet light blink green. No other lights are on. Help!

Pull out the power plug on the back of the modem, then reinsert it. Should reset the modem
Take a wire and carefully touch it to the two attachment points of the copper ring on the left side while it is plugged in. I first froze my system for 15 min then thawed out and touched the wire as instructed and all works fine.
To open the box remove the clear soft contacts on the bottom, should be four. Using a small philips remove them and pull the box in two. Then fix according.
Hope this helps
