Quick answer

The Internet light off on a Movistar router means there is no Internet connection, even if WiFi is still on. Movistar says to restart the router; if the light then turns red or blinks red, contact Movistar.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Never look into the end of the fibre cable or the green connector: it carries invisible laser light. Do not bend or pull the cable and do not open the wall socket or the router.

Safe checks you can perform

  • State of all the lights
  • Restart the router
  • Power and Ethernet cables
  • Try another device

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Technician visit with fibre measurement
  • Do not attempt this professional task: Line test from Movistar systems

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Technician visit with fibre measurement

    What they doIf the remote test does not solve it, the technician measures optical power at the wall socket and at the router and checks the router.

    They must show youthe measured power in dBm and the state of the router.

    In writingthe incident number, the measured value, any part replaced and the date.

  2. Line test from Movistar systems

    What they doTechnical support checks from its systems whether the router connects to the network and whether there is a fault or outage in your area.

    They must show youthe line test result and whether there is an open incident in the area.

    In writingthe incident number and the expected fix date.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. State of all the lights

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, looking at the front of the router.
    How:
    note the colour and pattern of the four lights: phone, WiFi, WiFi Plus and Internet, and whether any is red or blinking.
    Result that matters:
    confirming the Internet light is off and not red, because Movistar treats each case differently.
    If Internet is off and no light is red:
    restart the router.
    If the Internet light is red or blinks red:
    it is a fibre or router problem; contact Movistar.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of the front of the router with the time.

  2. Restart the router

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    switch the router off, wait a few seconds and switch it back on; let the Internet light go through blinking blue while it connects.
    Result that matters:
    the Internet light staying solid blue.
    If it stays solid blue:
    you have Internet again.
    If it stays off, or turns solid red or blinking red:
    contact Movistar and tell them the light state.
    Evidence to keep:
    photo of the Internet light after the restart.

  3. Power and Ethernet cables

    No special tools

    Who:
    you, without touching the fibre cable.
    How:
    check the power cable is firmly connected and, if you use an Ethernet cable, unplug it and plug it back in; best not to touch the fibre cable.
    Result that matters:
    ruling out a loose cable between the router and your devices.
    If a cable was loose and the connection returns once fixed:
    solved.
    If the cables are fine and the light is still off:
    contact Movistar.
    Evidence to keep:
    note of the cables checked.

  4. Try another device

    No special tools

    Who:
    you.
    How:
    if the Internet light returns to solid blue but one device still cannot browse, try another phone or computer and turn WiFi off and on on the failing one.
    Result that matters:
    telling a router problem apart from a single device problem.
    If the other device browses:
    the fault is that device, not the router.
    If no device browses with the light solid blue:
    contact Movistar.
    Evidence to keep:
    note of the devices you tried.

What it means

According to Movistar's official pages about the Movistar Router lights (fibre HGU), the last light, with a mouse icon, shows the network connection: solid blue is Internet available, blinking blue is the router connecting (normal at start up) and off means there is no Internet connection. Movistar points out that WiFi can work without Internet, and for the light off it says to restart the router. Other models, such as the WiFi 7 router, may have a different light layout.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • Router without a network sessionCommon

    The light off means the router has no Internet connection at that moment; Movistar says to restart it so it reconnects to its network.

  • Network outages or power cutsPossible

    Movistar says most connection problems come from network outages, power cuts or micro cuts rather than a router fault.

    Evidence: Mi router Movistar no funciona. Soluciones a posibles problemas

  • Fibre signal problemPossible

    If after the restart the light turns red or blinks red, Movistar links it to an inadequate fibre level or a router fault, no longer to the light off.
