First 10 Minutes: Basic Triage

1. Confirm the issue isn’t limited to one app or site.
2. Check modem and router power and status lights.
3. Reboot modem and router once.
4. Test with one wired device if you can.
5. See if neighbors are reporting the same outage.

Repeated reboots rarely help and can mask useful clues.

Local vs. Area-Wide Outage

If only one device is down and others work, start with that device. If everything fails at once, check provider status and area reports. Weather and line damage can affect broader Woodstock areas.

If outages happen often rather than once in a while, see internet keeps dropping for ongoing causes.

While You Wait for Restoration

• Use a mobile hotspot for essential work if you have one.
• Focus on critical tasks—calls, school, payments.
• Keep offline copies of important documents where possible.
• Stay updated with your provider’s status or support.

A first-class provider gives clear updates and dependable restoration, not silence.

After Service Returns: Verify It’s Really Back

1. Re-test wired and WiFi.
2. Check upload, download, and latency.
3. Confirm smart devices reconnect.
4. Run a quick speed test and note anything odd.

If service is back but still unstable, the line may need follow-up.
