I have an outlet in the garage that the FIOS TV box is hooked up to. This afternoon, the wifi and TV went out. After calling Frontier and going out there I determined the plug in no longer has power. It is a GFCI, btw.
I tested iit with my 3 prong tester -- the yellow device that plugs in and gives three lights. It came up with zero lights. Before I did that, I tested it with the no contact tester -- the one that buzzes when it "feels" a hot line. I also tested another outlet on the other size of the garage with the same tester and no buzz. The strange thing is that the light I installed in a ceiling recepticle and the GDO both still work.
Do I. just need to replace the receptacle? It is probably 20+ years old. What about the other one? Could the GFCI be affecting that?
