What to do if your XLN wifi is not working

You can do one of the following if your XLN wifi is not working

Unplug your router from the power source and wait at least 30 seconds before plugging it back in.

When you re-energize your router, the following lights should illuminate:

• Power light - Green and steady.
• Broadband light - flashes for up to 2 minutes before turning green and stable.
• Wifi light: This light will begin to blink green after up to 2 minutes.
• Internet light - This light will start flashing green after 2-3 minutes if the Broadband light is green and stable,

Restart your computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or other devices connected to the router.

Change the broadband ADSL filter (XLN provided you two - they are little boxes that plug directly into your main phone socket and allow you to connect your router and phone or other equipment simultaneously).

Replace the broadband cable that links your router to the broadband ADSL filter.

If you can't connect wirelessly, try changing the Ethernet cable, waiting 30 seconds, and reconnecting to the internet.

Disconnect anything connected to the phone line, such as card and fax machines, to ensure they aren't interfering with your broadband. After that, wait around 2 minutes before attempting to connect to the internet by opening a webpage.
