du home internet not working - the 5-minute check

Nine times out of ten a dead du line is the optical signal, not your Wi-Fi. Look at the router: a solid or blinking red LOS/light means no signal is reaching your home, so the fix is at the ONT or the street cabinet and needs du to reschedule a technician. If the power and WAN lights are green and only Wi-Fi is dead, it is local and you can fix it yourself.

Steps

  1. Check the light pattern first: power, WAN/optical, Wi-Fi. Red optical = line fault, not a settings problem.
  2. Restart once - unplug the router for 30 seconds, not 5, then wait 3 minutes for the ONT to re-register.
  3. Look for a known outage in your area before touching settings (du app > support, or the status thread for your building).
  4. If the optical cable or the small white ONT box was knocked (cleaning, moving furniture), reseat the blue-tipped fibre connector gently - never bend it.
  5. Still red after a reboot? Open the du app and raise a fault so the ticket timestamp starts now; escalate to us on WhatsApp and we will chase the job number.

Is du down right now?

Before you troubleshoot, confirm the outage - a network fault in your area means your reboot and your settings do not matter, and the ticket you file will be merged into the incident anyway.

Steps

  1. Check the du app status/support screen for a logged incident against your line.
  2. One neighbour plus one device failing = likely area issue; one device failing = local issue.
  3. Look for the same symptom in your building group chat or the public outage threads.
  4. Note the start time; credits are calculated from when the fault began, not when you called.
  5. Send us the area and the router lights and we will tell you whether it is already a known incident.

Router red light: what each colour actually means

A red or orange LOS/optical light means the fibre signal is not arriving; a red WAN light means the signal arrives but authentication to du failed; a red internet light with a green WAN usually means an IP/DNS problem on your side. Fixing the wrong one wastes a day, so identify the light first.

Steps

  1. Read the label next to the light: LOS, PON/Optical, WAN, Internet, Wi-Fi. PON solid green = line fine.
  2. LOS red: check the thin fibre lead for a kink or a pulled connector, then reboot once. Do not open the ONT.
  3. WAN red: your account may be suspended or the PPPoE credentials dropped - check for an unpaid bill or a recent plan change, then reboot.
  4. Internet red with green WAN: forget the network on one device and reconnect; if every device fails, clone the DNS to 1.0.0.1 / 8.8.8.8 in the router LAN settings.
  5. Send us a photo of the lights on WhatsApp and we will tell you which queue the ticket belongs in - fault, billing, or settings.
