What is power cycling the modem?
Power Cycling the modem is a fancy way of saying turn off the modem, wait 5 minutes, and then turn the modem back on. Occasionally the modem needs to be “re-trained” or “re-synced” with the other side of the DSL connection. The modem will try to resync automatically if it cannot establish a connection. If you don’t want to wait for the sync timer to try again, just turn off the modem, count to 3 and turn it back on. There is no need to wait longer.
