How do you reset Spectrum cable box?

There are many reasons why you may need to restart your TV's cable box. B. Programs that do not load properly, freezing videos or blank screens. When you reset the box, first navigate to the Settings menu and look for a restart option. If your screen is frozen or you can't find a menu option, check your cable box for a manual reset button. You can also unplug the box to perform a hard restart if the other fixes don't work. If you're still having problems, contact your cable provider to fix the problem.

Reset gateway (modem / router combination)

If you have a modem / router combination device, also known as a gateway, you can simply reset it.

1.      Disconnect the modem from the mains. Unplug the power cord and remove all batteries from the device.

2.      Leave the gateway alone for at least 30 seconds.

3.      Reinsert the batteries and reconnect the power cord.

4.      Leave the device alone for at least 2 minutes. The lights shine for this step instead of blinking.

5.      Check your network connection. You should be able to reach the internet.

If that doesn't work, try to find a small recessed button on the back of your modem. If this reset button is present, press it with a stylus for 30 seconds until the router restarts.
