If the modem's @ light is on but there is no internet, try power cycling it.

* To perform a power cycle, unplug your modem from the wall for a duration of 30 seconds.

In the event that the @ light is off and the ⬇️ downstream light or ⬆️ upstream light is flashing try:

* Disconnect and reconnect the coaxial cable at the back, making sure it is securely attached.

'''If the first two methods do not work, perform a factory reset.'''

== '''Factory Reset''' ==
When you perform a factory reset, the CODA-4680 returns to default settings, losing all user-configured settings and returning the modem to its initial configuration state.

'''Method One'''

Your device will need to be connected to your modem by '''WiFi''' or an '''Ethernet''' cable plugged into one of the CODA-4680 modem's '''LAN''' ports.
# Open a web browser '''Chrome''', '''Firefox''' of '''Safari''' and enter '''<nowiki>http://192.168.0.1</nowiki>''' into the address bar then press enter.
# A login screen for the Hitron CODA-4680 will appear. The default username and password are case-sensitive.
#* Username: '''cusadmin'''
#*Password <'''the Wi-Fi network password that you configured in the Quick Setup>'''
[[File:Login.png|thumb|433x433px|CODA-4680-Login|left]]

Select '''Admin''', choose '''Device Reset''' tab, and select the '''Factory Reset''' button'''.'''

[[File:Cable factory.png|left|thumb|918x918px|Factory Reset]]

'''Method Two'''

Using a pin or pencil tip, press and hold the RESET button at the back of the modem for at least 30 seconds, it will take about 5 to 10 minutes for the CODA-4680 to reboot its self.

[[File:Hard reset.png|thumb|448x448px|Factory Rest Button|left]]

Once the modem has rebooted its self which will take 5 to 10 minutes, If using wifi connect a device to the modem's EasyConnect Wi-Fi network. The EasyConnect Wi-Fi network only connects your device to the modem, it will not connect your device to the internet. The EasyConnect Wi-Fi network name and password is specific to your modem, and can be found on the label on the back of the modem. It takes the form of:

Default Wi-Fi Network: CODAXXXXX-EasyConnect (XXXXX is a series of numbers)

Default key: ZZZZZZZXXXXX (a series of numbers)

* Open up a web browser on the device you connected to the modem, and browse to any website.
* The Hitron EasyConnect Quick Setup screen should automatically load in your web browser. If it does not, enter '''192.168.0.1''' in your web browser's URL bar to load the Hitron EasyConnect Quick Setup manually.
* To begin the Quick Setup, select '''Let's Go'''
*

Select '''Test Connection''' to test the modem's internet connection

[[File:Testconnect.png|left|thumb|675x675px]]

If the test is successful, the Quick Setup will confirm that your modem is connected to the internet. Select '''Setup Wi-Fi''' to configure the Wi-Fi network name and password you wish to use. If the test is not successful, you will not be able to provide with the Quick Setup. Check the light pattern on the Hitron COD-4680, or turn it off, reconnect the coaxial cable, and try the Quick Setup again.

[[File:Test.png|left|thumb|703x703px]]

Enter the '''Wi-Fi Network Name''' and '''Password''' you wish to use to connect to the internet. Re-enter the password to '''Confirm Password''', and select '''Confirm Setup''':

== Troubleshooting Wi-Fi ==
Most problems with Wi-Fi are a result of interference from other wireless or electronic devices, or signal strength problems (e.g., due to obstructions or distance).

=== '''Signal Strength problems''' ===

If you have a strong, solid signal in some parts of your home but not in others, then obstructions or distance could be playing a role.

Large appliances, such as refrigerators, can block Wi-Fi signals if the appliance is between your device and the modem. This can sometimes be resolved easily by moving you and/or your device from one part of the room to another. If your home is large and you are just running out of Wi-Fi range, then a Wi-Fi mesh home system or Wifi extenders may be required. These can be purchased from NCF, and are placed around your home to extend the Wi-Fi range to other areas.

== '''Common Fixes For WiFi''' ==

=== '''Changing WiFi Channels on CODA-4680''' ===
Changing the wifi channels for 2.4 bandwidth

Connect to your modem using a wired Ethernet cable or join your Wireless network

Step 1

Login to the modem using a web Interface

* Enter <nowiki>http://192.168.0.1</nowiki> into the address bar in your web browser '''Chrome''', '''Firefox''' or '''Safari'''.

Step 2

You will be asked to enter username: '''cusadmin''' and password:<'''the Wi-Fi network password that you configured in the Quick Setup'''>

Step 3

Click on '''wireless''' choose '''basic settings''' should already be selected '''2.4''' tab will be selected by default.

Step 4

Change the '''channel bandwidth''' switch 20/40 MHz to 20MH

Step 5

Change the '''wireless channel''' from auto to any of the channels in the drop down menu

Step 6

After selecting a channel '''save changes'''

==== '''Band steering''' ====

When connecting a device to your home network, most WiFi modems prompt you to choose between two frequencies: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.Band steering automatically connects your devices to the most appropriate WiFi frequency in your home.

Steps to enable band steering

Step 1

Connect to your modem using a wired Ethernet cable or join your Wireless network

Login to the modem using a web Interface
Enter <nowiki>http://192.168.0.1</nowiki> into the address bar in your web browser '''Chrome''', '''Firefox''' or '''Safari'''

Step 2

Step 3

* Click on '''wireless'''
* Click on the '''Advanced''' tab
* Ensure that the Band streeting is '''Enable'''
* Click '''save changes'''

==== Disabling Bandsteering ====
When Band Steering is disabled, you can create two separate networks (or SSIDs), each with its own password and name. You can then connect specific devices to a specific network, either 2.4 or 5G.

'''Steps to disabling bandsteering'''

'''Step 1'''

Login to the modem using a web Interface

* Enter <nowiki>http://192.168.0.1</nowiki> into the address bar in your web browser '''Chrome''', '''Firefox'''

'''Step 2'''

You will be asked to enter username: '''cusadmin''' and password:<'''the Wi-Fi network password that you configured in the Quick Setup'''>
