1 Gig Disclaimer

How fast can I go?

A 1 Gig (1 Gbps download speed) internet connection is extremely fast. The power of a 1 Gig connection is not just meant to be used on 1 device like a computer. The 1 Gig connection is meant to ensure that all the devices in your home have enough bandwidth to support their applications, streaming and downloading needs. In fact, there are very few individual computers or devices that can reach a full 1 Gig download speed on their own. Think about it like the electrical power that comes into your home. It is shared by all the lights, appliances and devices in your home. There is no one device, light or appliance that can use all the power, but you need to make sure you have enough to power all of them.

With that said, here are some of the maximum download speeds that individual devices have. These speeds are the theoretical maximums and can be limited by a number of factors including, but not limited to: home network congestion, the physical connection to the network (e.g. WiFi, wired, etc), the speed of the website or host you are connecting to, overall internet traffic, other software or applications running on the device, or viruses and spyware.

Check all the cables and make sure they are secure.

1. Unplug the power cord from the modem, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the power, send, receive, and online lights to go steady.

Black Box In The Middle Of The Screen

This is a closed caption function. Using the TV’s remote control or the buttons on the front of the TV, navigate through the TV’s menu to the closed caption settings. Cycle through ALL closed caption settings until off or disable appears.

This may be a problem with the television set. It could also be due to the red, green or blue component cables coming loose on the back of the TV and/or converter box. Check that all cables are pushed in tight.

Channels Won’t Change

Replace batteries in remote control. If the batteries are charged and the remote is working, turn the converter off for 30 seconds, and then on again.
