Troubleshooting Steps
Reboot your device – It’s a cliché but it works!
Update your device – Delaying updates can cause issues
Try another browser – Sometimes it’s the browser itself not performing as well
Choose Wired – Use a wired connection for stationary devices
Disable your VPN – Test the connection without your VPN or Anti-Virus enabled. If the connection doesn’t work with these switched on you may need to contact your IT provider. If you don’t use a VPN or proxy, you won’t need this step.
Refresh the connection – Forget the network and reconnect
Test your Hotspot – Try connecting to your smart phone’s hotspot to rule out the problem being with your device
Switch networks – Try the open ASK4Wireless rather than 802.1x
Re-register Private MACs – If you have ‘Private MAC’ addresses enabled, you may need to re-register the device to your account
Feeling technical? Try the below additional steps before giving us a call.
Check your IP address. – If it starts with a 10, it’s an ASK4 IP. If it starts with 192 or any other numbers, you are connecting to the wrong network. See here for further details and help finding your IP.
Is your device dual band? – If your device is quite old, check the model name online – if the device is listed as ‘Single band’ (2.4ghz) and not ‘Dual band’ (2.4ghz & 5ghz) it may be experiencing issues because of this. Our network provides 2.4ghz, 5ghz & 6ghz signals so your device will do better if it can connect to two or more of those.
Prefer 5Ghz – To prefer the 5Ghz wireless frequency on your device follow these instructions on how to do this & why
Set IP & DNS Settings to Auto – Ensure any IP or DNS settings are set to automatic
