Work down the below checklist to ensure your hardware is connected correctly.

Your Genexis (ONT) box should be plugged in as the image below shows

1. If there are no lights lit on the box, there is something wrong with the power connection. Ensure that the black power lead is plugged in securely and the plug inserted and turned on at the mains.

2. The ethernet cable should be plugged into the port labelled ‘1’ on the Genexis box. The other end of the ethernet cable should be plugged into the WAN port on your router.

3. Unplug the Genexis box and wait 10 minutes, then reconnect to the power. If the lights fail to turn on after waiting a further 2 minutes, the issue may be with your power socket.

4. If the lights turn on but your Wi-Fi still isn’t working, check that your router is plugged in and the lights are functioning according to your individual router model manufacturer’s guide. 

5. You can find your specific router model’s guide and troubleshooting tips on the router manufacturer’s website.

6. If all the above has been completed and you are still unable to connect, please report a fault – see below.

Please complete our Report a Fault form.

3.    The router should not be placed behind any other electronic devices like microwaves or TVs.

4.    Switch off any other devices connected to Wi-Fi which you are not using, e.g. iPads, phones, gaming consoles.
