Errors / network problems

Troubleshoot yourself

In instances where your digital TV service is down, you can perform a few basic checks before resorting to customer support. Check the cable cords at the back of the device are connected securely; check that the switches on the remote control or A/B switch is in the ‘Cable’ position and the VCR is set to ‘TV’ mode; check the remote-control batteries to see they’re still working; and lastly check that the power is functional in other electrical devices in your home, if not this might be a power issue.

If the MediaCom internet network is facing an outage, the trouble could be with the wireless router or with your line to MediaCom. First check to see whether other devices in your home are receiving the Wi-Fi signal, like a mobile phone. If yes, try resetting the router to refresh the signals. If you are able to connect to the network but not to the internet, it may be an issue with the MediaCom modem. Try connecting the modem directly into your device. If the issue is still not fixed, reach out to MediaCom at 1-855-MEDIACOM, available 24/7.
