Reboot Equipment
Having trouble with your internet connection? The first thing you can do is manually reset your optical network unit (ONU) and wireless gateway or router.
IMPORTANT: If you reboot your ONU, it will reboot all equipment and devices connected to it – including your equipment for Midco internet and phone services. As a business, we recommend you avoid reboots during busy times of day if possible.
Reboot Equipment
To reset your ONU, wireless gateway and/or router:
- Unplug the small, black power cord from the ONU and your wireless gateway or third-party router. Check the front to ensure that all lights have turned off.
- After 30 seconds, plug the power cord back in to the ONU.
- One power is restored, wait up to five minutes for the ONU or router to come back online. Wait for the lights to be fully lit (not blinking).
- After the ONU is back online, plug the power cord back into the wireless gateway or router.
- Test the connection by accessing a public website like Midco.com/Business.
