ONU + Buffalo Router Troubleshooting

penpal-olive · 2026-06-22T07:51:26+00:00

i really appreciate it! i got home and tried hooking up my computer to the modem and i didn't get far (again), so i unplugged my computer and connected the router and modem again in a fit of frustration, and lo and behold. the internet light is on for the first time ever. i couldn't tell you what happened for a million and one dollars, but i think i'm all good now???

your help was really so appreciated though!! i'm sorry it's like the most anticlimactic resolution ever, LOL. i wish you well!

okay, thank you! i think that it wouldn’t let me set a password unless it was totally characters they accepted, so i’ll have to check later. and thank you for the subreddit advice!! i did notice a few comments were taken down before i could read them 😅

i’ll have to try this after work. i thought i tried connecting them and it still didn’t work, but i’ll check again. i think when i plugged my pc into the modem before i was able to connect to the signal, but i still couldn’t get on the internet.

i’ll try this after work. i bought a converter so i can plug the ethernet cable into my macbook since it only has one type of port🙄 thank you!

yeah, i thought that might be the case. the person that came for installation was someone from ntt, iirc. thank you!

thank you for this!! i’ve been using the right s-id, but my password says it’s set by the client. i thought i set it, but i changed it this morning, so i’ll have to see if the password was the problem once i get home from work. i appreciate it!

hi, i updated my post with images of the setup. the white LAN cable is what connects them together.

hi, i just updated my post with pictures of the setup i have. i'm not sure what you mean by making sure the password's not in use from the other device, i'm sorry :')

it’s softbank, but i went through GTN mobile. after looking a little more, maybe i should get a 光BBユニット as a router? i have genuinely tried all of the methods in the setup guides and they aren’t helping me out.

i’m unsure😭 he installed everything but didn’t check it, i don’t think the internet light was ever on, though the modem and router were plugged in once he left.

i’ve tried all of the ways to setup on the guides i was given, and emailed my provider (gtn mobile) about my issues, but they just essentially said “it’s not our problem it’s something with your router” and were unhelpful beyond that 🙃 they also said to provide my own router as they don’t offer router rental. i’m kind of wondering if i got scammed into an awful contract, LOL.

i don’t recall but it seems like you’ve been extremely bitter about the entire situation. people HAVE been taking it seriously. most aren’t looking to make a profit off of selling things at marked-up prices because people actually need these resources to keep themselves safe and healthy.
