Troubleshooting

No internet connection

Check that the cable is securely plugged into both your device and the router. Try a different Ethernet port on the router. Restart your modem, router, and device. Confirm that your device's network settings are configured for a wired connection.

Slow internet speed

Ensure that your internet service plan supports high speeds. Check for other devices using the internet simultaneously. Check for physical obstructions or damage to the cable.

Intermittent connection drops

Check the cable connectors for any damage. Ensure the cable isn't bent sharply or pinched. Try replacing the cable to rule out a faulty cable.
