Most MAG errors come from one of a few causes. Check them in order, starting with the simplest.
1

Restart everything

Unplug your MAG box and your internet box. Wait 30 seconds. Plug in the internet box first, wait three minutes, then plug in the MAG box.
2

Check the MAC address

Read the code from the sticker under the box. Send a photo of it to us, so we can confirm it matches your account.
3

Check the portal address

Press Setup, then go to System Settings, Servers, Portals. Compare the address with our email, one character at a time. Check for any missing colon, slash or number.
4

Check the network cable

Make sure the cable clicks into both ends. Many MAG boxes do not have Wi-Fi. A loose cable looks the same as a broken service.
5

Look for an update

In System Settings, look for Software Update. Install one if it is available, and keep the box powered during the update.
