If it has stopped working even if the lights are on/off doesnt matter. Modems usually only last around 2 years or so. I suggest getting a new modem. It does not need to be a real expensive one. A cheap one works just as well but usually does not last as long. Hope this helped

Your question presupposes that you have subscribed to cable internet service, and that the provider has run a cable to your home. It also presupposes that you have a cable modem.
