    • If the modem remains in recovery mode for an extended period, you may need to initiate a "Recover Modem" command from the router's web interface.
    • Access Router Settings: Connect a device directly to the Winegard router and access its web interface using the default IP address (refer to the manual).

    • Initiate Recover Modem: If available, find and execute the "Recover Modem" command.
  2. Factory Reset: Performing a Factory Reset on your Winegard Router
