Troubleshooting your device

  1. If you have issues connecting the device to the account, power cycle the device (unplug the power jack from the device and then plug it back in to restore power). Check the Ethernet cable is properly connected, and ensure the network has internet access.
  2. If issues persist, reset the device to factory defaults by using the Reset button located on the back of the device. Press and hold the Reset button until the device’s status LED is flashing green and red (about 15 seconds), then release the button. The device will reboot with factory defaults. If the device was previously installed to your web account, it will need to be deleted before it can be installed again.
