The Wi-Fi works until the day everyone needs it at once. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Red = no fibre signal, usually upstream. - Restart and check the fibre cable. - Test with a LAN cable to rule out Wi-Fi. Quick answer On a Safaricom Home Fibre router a green PON/Internet light is normal and a red light usually means no fibre signal is reaching the router, which points to an upstream fault. Restart the router, check the fibre cable is not bent or loose, then test with a LAN cable. If the light stays red, call 100 or visit a Safaricom shop.
