Blinks orange and then blinks green then repeats

Hello. My modem started blinking orange and green lights last night. It’ll blink orange for a few minutes and then it’ll blink green for a few minutes and repeat. I took my modem to the Xfinity store to swap it out because I thought that might be the issue but this new modem is doing the same thing. I can’t connect to internet at all. It’s done this once before and corrected itself after about 36 hours and made me setup a whole new home network. I’m trying to avoid having to have a tech come out. Please let me know if you can help

@Kelseygh1 Thanks for adding a post to the forum. Wow, it is strange for it to happen to both modems. From what you explain, it's looking for a signal. Are the cables tight to the modem and the wall outlet? Have you noticed anything to the cable outside by chance?

All cables are tightened. I don’t know what wire is the Xfinity wires outside. There’s abunch of wires. It honestly looks kind of terrible. I’ve never taken the time to look at the wires outside until now. I might be better off having a tech come to look at the wiring that was done last time. It’s just odd because we haven’t had any storms or anything that would cause any damage. It just all of a sudden stopped working. I haven’t had any issues for the last year until now. But this wiring job may be the culprit.

There’s not even a wall outlet. There’s just a hole in the wall that the cable is coming through from outside.
