How to reset your Bresnan or Comcast Arries cable modem

After the recent Bresnan outage, I have been helping a lot of people reset their networks and Internet connections. Resetting the cable modem is a critical step in getting your broadband connection or just troubleshooting the problem when your Internet goes down.

Sounds like you are either not getting a signal through your cable or the modem is bad.

[talkingdigitaltv]

Yes, but don't look for a splitter. Get a wireless router with 4 or 5-port hub. They can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Best Buy for between $30-$100. These will allow you to use multiple computers both wired and wireless with this modem.

does that modem hav a standby button?

[talkingdigitaltv]

This particular modem does not have a standby button but many of them do. In any case, the standby button has nothing to do with resetting the modem. All the standby button does is cuts communication with the Internet off.

I have seen many cases where the Internet is only down because the standby button has been pressed.

Excellent point.

I also should have clarified that this does not work if your broadband service is out completely and it is the fault of your ISP. However, if your ISP does go down completely, often you will not get a stable connection back up until you go through this process, once the ISP comes back online.

yea right, try explaining this process to customers over the phone, just getting them to press a button in back of modem turns into a nightmare sometimes lol (work @ comcast call center)

Voip has become highly popular within a very short time. Even we are using voip service available at vontrump.com

@NewEraGaming2010 Incase you still need help. remove the power cord and remove the battery from the modem. It will do a reset. plug the ethernet cable to the ps3 then put the battery back in and plug in your power cord to the modem. This should help connect your ps3 to playstation network.
