“the red light is flashing on Arris S86141”

• The flashing red light means that you are connected to a slower network, like a 10 Mbps or a 100 Mbps network. If you connect it to a Gigabit (1000 Mbps) network, it will turn blue. Hope this helps.

• By the red light I take it you mean the one on the bottom. Its trying to connect with your wi-fi. When it is connected and ready to go. the top and bottom lights will be white, and the two in the middle will be blue. I had the same issue and ended up buying a new Wi-Fi router. now my system runs faster than superman himself. Before you purchase a new router, its worth a call to your provider who will pinpoint the issue for you on the phone for free.

• Just unplug the power cable, and wait for 45 seconds then hook the cable power back. By now you already resetting the Modem, and the red light should be off for good.

• The blinking light simply means the device is searching for data, so there is no need to worry..
