Power off and power on the TC.. since it has no power switch.. you power off at the wall or using the cable. Yank it out,, count to 10 slowly.. plug it back in.


If that doesn't fix it.. a full network reboot will often get things going. Start up in correct order.


Modem.. wait 2min

TC.. wait 2min


Computers etc.


If it doesn't fix it.. ie you have a major issue.


See C12 here.
