Here’s how to check if Google Fiber is down in your area and fix common connection issues.
Troubleshoot your connection before calling support
If your internet suddenly stops working, the fastest way to figure out why is to check your Google Fiber status.
Check the Google Fiber status in your area
The GFiber outage page helps you quickly confirm whether the problem is with a widespread outage or an issue with your home setup. To check for a Google Fiber outage:
- Go to http://fiber.google.com/outage
- Enter your street address
- Click Check for outages
When there’s an outage, you’ll see updates and estimated restoration times.
You can also check your Google Fiber app:
- Log in
- Select Network
- Review alerts and status
You can also use Downdetector to view real-time outage reports in your area.
Inspect your Fiber Jack for connection issues
Your Fiber Jack is where your fiber connection enters your home. Its lights indicate status:
Check your Network Box (router)
If the Fiber Jack looks good, check your router:
Check cables between the Fiber Jack and router for damage or loose connections.
Restart your Google Fiber hardware to restore service
Still having issues? Try a power cycle:
- Unplug Fiber Jack and router
- Wait 30 seconds
- Plug in Fiber Jack first (wait for solid blue)
- Plug in router
Then test with a wired connection to rule out Wi-Fi interference. If nothing works, contact Google Fiber support via the app, website, or phone (1-866-777-7550).
FAQ
How do I know if Google Fiber is down?
Use the official outage page, app, or Downdetector to confirm if there’s a service disruption in your area.
Why is my Google Fiber not working but no outage is reported?
The issue is likely your router, cables, or Fiber Jack—not the service itself.
How do I reset my Google Fiber connection?
Unplug both the Fiber Jack and router, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect them in order.
What do Fiber Jack lights mean?
They indicate connection status—blue/green is good, red signals issues, and no light means no power.
