Technical Support

Visit our Service Status page to check for any known issues in your area. You can also sign up for outage notifications via email or SMS. Our Network Operations Centre monitors the network 24/7 and often resolves issues before customers are affected.
To reset your router: 1) Locate the reset button (usually a small hole on the back). 2) Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for 10 seconds. 3) Wait 2-3 minutes for the router to restart. 4) Reconnect using the default credentials on the router label. Note: This will reset all custom settings.
Slow speeds can be caused by: WiFi interference (try moving closer to the router), too many connected devices, router placement (avoid corners and enclosed spaces), or peak usage times. Run a speed test at different times and locations. If speeds are consistently below your package, contact us.
Log in to your router admin panel (usually 192.168.1.1) using the admin credentials on your router label. Navigate to Wireless Settings > Security and enter your new password. Remember to reconnect all your devices with the new password.
