Why aren't all the lights on my modem/wi-fi router lighting up?

in Internet
The technician came and installed the modem on the 8th of February.
But I have yet to be able to connect to the internet with Fizz.
At the moment, these are the lights on my modem:
Solid green lights position= 1st, 6th and 7th
Flashing green lights = 2nd
It's happened that the 2nd light goes solid and then the 3rd starts flashing.
However, it always reverts back to what I've described above.
I have tried hard-resetting, restarting, unplugging, etc, but it never seems to connect.
What can I do to have this finally giving me the service I'm paying for?
Please advise, if possible.
Thank you in advance.

    Hi KevinÉdwar

    Sorry you are having internet issues. None of the blue lights are on which means the modem is unable to connect to the cable network.

    Please unplug the coaxial cable from the coaxial outlet and the modem respectively, then plug it back in the outlet first and then in the modem, then try restarting the modem.

    If you received a new modem, you must let it perform the updates which can take up to 20 minutes.

    BTW did you pay for VIP installation?
    If not, here are the installation instructions: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-install-my-wi-fi-modem

    In case you were not successful, you can do a factory reset of the modem by using a sharp object to press and hold on the small button found behind the modem for 10+ seconds, then let the modem reboot itself and test the connection.

    KevinÉdwar, if there is still no connection, did the technician check the line for signal during the installation? If no, perhaps there is another coaxial outlet in your home that is working (and not the current one you are using).

    Guys you have to read the question. Its the first line...

    Fizz is prepaid.

    Hi Kevin,
    Thank you for letting us know about the situation and I'm very sorry the situation you're currently experiencing.
    I checked on your account and on your connection signals where I can see that there are none as if there is no connection coming from the network to your modem but the service is provisioned fully and correctly as far as I can see from my tools.
    However, there is no incident or maintenance work being performed in the area that could've caused the disruption.
    Would you kindly please unplug the coaxial cable from the coaxial outlet and the modem respectively, wait for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in the outlet first and then in the modem, then restart it?
    Also, please perform a factory reset of the modem by using a sharp object to press on the small button in the orifice behind the modem for 15 to 20 seconds, then let the modem reboot itself and test the connection.

    Thank you very much for your understanding.
    Have a good one!
    Andrei
