Zoom X6 internet light constantly red

Hi. My Zoom X6 internet light is constantly red, all other lights go steady green. I am trying to use it with a wireless laptop (it recognised the router, connected to it ok, but no internet connection). It is not the laptop, as it connected this way before to the internet at other places away from home. Not the line either, as I had an adsl working on a wired computer for years (and still does, though I switched off and disconnected when trying, so it didn't affect the X6 in some way). I followed the setup instructions, with the 10.0.0.2 browser etc, entered ISP details, setup wireess - nothing turns that light green!! please help, thanks.

The internet light, is usually a blinking green, showing that it's seeing the internet signal. The only reason it's red, is cause there's no net signal..double check the phone line going into the back of your router, and change it if you need to.

Hello, I keep loosing internet connection, how can I tell if there is a problem with the modem?

try to check the status of the lights on your modem. Try to check the light in globe icon, that is the icon for your Internet status, if is GREEN it mean to say that it has connection. When it turns to RED, check the DSL light if it is in SOLID GREEN, When it blinks try to check it with your Service provider.

I have the Zoom X6 (5590) DSL Modem, trouble using software

You may check the following:

1. Make sure to plug the power cube into a power strip or wall outlet and then plug the power cube's other end into the modem's power (PWR) jack.

2. You should only use the power cube with the Zoom X6. Other power cubes may damage your hardware.

3. Try another wall outlet.

4. Reset the modem. Use a paper clip and insert it into the RESET pinhole in the modem's back panel and press it 3 times. Then turn off the modem for a minute and turn it back on. Check if the power light will turn solid green.

5. Possible defective modem.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

You dont need both. Do the following:
Unplug your speedtouch from the phone line at the back of the speedtouch unit. Plug that cable into your Zoom. Then plug one end of an ethernet cable into router and one end into your PC.

Firefox or Internet explorer) username/password is admin/zoomadsl go to basic setup and input your ISP username and password (the one given to you by your internet provider) under PPP.

Installion of x6

Contacted the company who gave the good advice of changing the DPI settings and also showed us 2 different ways of how to do it. For anyone who has the same problem try right clicking the desktop and click on personalise, adjust font size to default and save,. Alternatively click start, control panel, appearance & themes, change screen resolution, settings, advanced, DPI to normal 96 DPI and save. Thanks for your help we will always check this site if problems in future.

INERNET LIGHT STAYS RED

The Internet light changing from green to red means that the connection to the net is unstable. There is a possibility that the device is not configured properly or it already is a problem on the device.

You can try to reset the device and reconfigure it. Just make sure to back up your settings so that you can easily reconfigure your former settings. If that does not work, a firmware upgrade can be done to address this concern.

Internet light turned red and won't change back to green

Hi,

If the Internet is red, this may be because of problem with authentication. Please pull the configuration page of modem and check whether the username/password are correct.

Take care
