No outage reported (equipment offline)

If no local network outage is reported but your service is offline, follow these steps in order to restore your connection:

  1. Verify account standing: In the Billing section of your gFiber account portal or mobile app, verify that your latest payment processed and that your account is active.
  2. Power cycle internet hardware: Unplug the power cords from both your gFiber router and Fiber Jack. Wait 30 seconds, reconnect the power cords, and wait 3 minutes for the status lights to turn solid green or solid blue.
  3. Report an unreported outage: If your equipment remains offline after completing steps 1–2 and neighboring properties are also experiencing service drops, contact gFiber Customer Support via live chat or phone to flag a localized issue.
