Troubleshooting PYUR Issues
Common PYUR connection problems and how to fix them.
Download speeds dropping from 400 to 200 Mbps between 19:00 and 22:00
Cause: Cable bandwidth is shared among neighbors. Peak evening usage creates congestion.

- Connect via ethernet cable to eliminate WiFi as the bottleneck
- Contact PYUR support if speeds consistently drop below 50% of your plan
- Consider upgrading to FTTH fiber if available at your building
Cable modem restarts on its own multiple times per day
Cause: Signal level issues, overheating, or firmware defect on the modem.
- Check that all coaxial cable connections are tight and not damaged
- Ensure the modem has adequate ventilation and is not in a closed cabinet
- Check PYUR service status page for known network issues in your area
- Contact PYUR to request a signal level check at your building
- Request a modem replacement if the issue persists after signal check
PYUR TV shows no signal or only a few channels load
Cause: Cable signal disruption, set-top box issue, or channel frequency change.
