Dog ate my Wire

My dog ate the Green wire that goes from the wall jack to my ATT modem.  It is smaller than a Cat5 wire, but I don't know what it is called.  What is it called and can I purchase one from Best Buy or somewhere.  I need back up ASAP.  Hopefully it is not a ATT thing I have to wait for.

Thank

It’s just a twisted pair phone cable nothing special. In the meantime you can use a standard phone wire until you get to the store

We're here to help find you a new wire, @tannerlux07!

 

Just to clarify, can you let us know the model of AT&T modem you currently have, as well as where the cord is plugged into the modem?

In the meantime you can use a standard phone cable  the only difference is the twisted wire internally that helps with interference from outside sources like treadmills microwave and isn’t an issue if the cable isn’t over 6-10 feet long
