Openserve outage or just me?

Openserve Internet

  • To do: Look at the PON / Broadband light on your Openserve ONT: solid green, the connection reaches your home.
  • To do: LOS / Alarm light red? Check that the ONT has power and that all its cables are securely connected.
  • To do: Turn the ONT off and on again, then wait for the lights to settle.
  • To do: Test another device, then a computer plugged in with an Ethernet cable: if that works, it's the Wi-Fi.
  • To do: Still down? Run the connection test in the Openserve Connect app and check for network outages.
