We have T-Mobile's hot spot at home for our phone line. It works fine most of the time, however, when there is a storm and the power goes out, we lose the phone line. And I don't realize for many days until I try to use my phone and there is no dial tone.
So after about 4 times of this (about 10 tries a piece), i think i have the steps down to get the phone light back on most reliably.
Turn off the power to all of it.
Disconnect the hot spot router from the cable modem.
Go ahead and disconnect the phone line (not sure if this matters)
Disconnect the cable coaxial cable from the cable modem
Plug the coaxial cable back in after oh about 15 seconds
Power on the cable modem, wait until the lights all stabilize, they seem to flash, and do something for a bit, then when the Cable indicator has been solid for a good few seconds
Power on the hot spot router
connect the router back up to the cable modem
connect the phone line, wait, it takes up to 2 minutes for the blue light to come on
If this does not work, repeat again and again and I promise it will eventually work!!! Every time I get mad and give up, I come back then the blue light comes on!!
