The fix, step by step

1
1 minute

One device or the whole house?

Check a second device. Only one failing = device problem (see our iPhone/Windows guides). Everything failing = continue here.

2
7 minutes

Restart the Ignite gateway properly

Unplug the tall white gateway's power for a full 60 seconds — from the gateway itself, not the wall switch. Plug back in, hands off for 5 minutes. Quick flicks don't clear it; the 60 seconds does.

3
1 minute

Read the light

Solid white/green = healthy. Blinking = connecting (10 minutes max). Red or dark = it can't reach Rogers — check Rogers' outage page before troubleshooting further.

4
3 minutes

The cable test

Laptop directly into the gateway. Cable works, WiFi doesn't = placement or wireless problem — gateways hidden in basement corners are the #1 cause. Move it up and central.

When it's Rogers, not you

If the light stays red after two proper restarts, or your whole street is down, that's Rogers' network — no one local can fix it, and we'll tell you that straight if you chat with us. If it's only your house, it's fixable today.

Rogers-shaw note: recently migrated from Shaw? Your box and app changed, your wiring didn't. Same fixes apply — and we know both systems.

Quick answers

Why is my Rogers WiFi connected but no internet?
Most often a stale gateway connection — the 60-second restart clears it. Repeating weekly means failing hardware or bad placement, not bad luck.
How do I know if Rogers is down in my area?
Check Rogers' outage page, DownDetector, or a neighbour on Rogers. Their outage = everyone's; wait. Your house only = fixable.
Does restarting the Ignite gateway delete my WiFi password?
No — settings, name, and password all survive a restart.
