- Wait 30-60 seconds to allow the device to fully power down.
- Plug the power cable back in.
- Observe Lights: Check the modem lights for indications of power and connectivity. Refer to your ISP's documentation for specific light patterns.
- Wait for Connection: Allow several minutes for the modem to re-establish a connection with your ISP.
Step 2: Reboot the Cisco Network Equipment

Step 4: Verify Network Connectivity
- Test Internet Access: Open a web browser and try to access a website to confirm internet connectivity.
- Check Internal Network: Test connectivity between devices on your internal network (e.g., ping another computer this will be done by your IT Department).
- Application Testing: If you have specific applications that rely on the network, test them on your tablets to ensure they are functioning correctly.
