* We have a page about the lights and their meaning on the Openreach ONT: [[Openreach_FTTP_ONT]]
 
Here is some steps to take if you have problems with your FTTP service.
== No connection ==
* Check the Openreach ONT:-
** the Power light should be on - if not check power cable/switch etc
** the PON (Passive Optical Network) light should be on - if not, try a power cycle of the ONT and get in touch.
** the LOS (Loss of service) light should be off - if not, try a power cycle of the ONT and get in touch.
** the LAN or PORT1 light should be green - if not check your connection to your router, swap the cable
 
<div class="AAMenuRow">
*If lights are as they should be, then the Fibre and ONT should be working OK, time to check your router:-

**Try a laptop plugged in to the ONT instead of your router - set up a new network connection of type PPPoE and use your xxx@a login and password to connect

** Check the PPP username/password on the router, and restart the router just to be sure.

== Slow connection ==
</div>
* Check/swap the cable between the Openreach ONT and your router - ensure it's a 8-wire CAT5 or CAT6 cable - not one with 4 wires as these will run at 100M and not 1G
* Use our speed test to check up and download speeds: https://speedtest.aa.net.uk
* Try a power cycle of the ONT
* Check the CQM Graphs, via the Control Pages, to see if it is slow due to lots of traffic
* Try a laptop plugged in to the ONT instead of your router - set up a new network connection of type PPPoE and use your xxx@a login and password to connect, and run a speed test.
* ...get in touch.
