My mobile data/internet is slow.

Are you connected to your home WiFi network or an outside WiFi network or the One mobile network?

• My home WiFi network
  First, let’s start at the source-speed delivered to your modem.
  •  Check the connections between your computer and the modem (coax cable, power cord) and ensure the modem is securely connected to the power cord.
  • Unplug the power cord from the modem for 30 seconds then plug the power cord back in. Your modem can take up to 10 minutes to restart so hang tight.
  • Let’s do a speed test!
    • A speed test will verify speed you are getting to the modem. It’s best to run the test from a direct connection to your modem.
    • If you don’t have a laptop or desktop computer connected directly to the modem, use your smartphone at your modem location.
    • Click here to start your speed test.
  • How is the coverage in your home?
    • On your mobile device, how many signal bars do you see?
      • Low or no bars: Signal range is poor.
        • Test the signal in your home by walking from room to room to identify areas of strong and weak signal.
        • One has a Home QiFi solution that works! Visit one of our retail locations to take home the OneHome WiFi system today.
        • Click here to learn more.
      • Full bars: Signal doesn’t seem to be an issue.
        • How many people are on your network at the same time and how are they using data? You might need to increase your home internet plan.
        • One Internet customer? Call 700.7000 to speak with a friendly One representative about a plan that best fits your needs.

My WiFi signal is weak/drops off in certain locations

Do you have OneHome WiFi?

• Yes! Try moving your beacons to another location then test to see if the signal has improved?
• No: OneHome WiFi is a smart WiFi system that creates seamless coverage in and around your home.
  • Visit a retail location to sign up and take your eero units home to self-install. It takes about 10-15 minutes to set it up.

Modem location: Your modem should be in a location central to the users in your home and should be in an open area where the signal can communicate freely.
If you have another cable outlet, try moving the modem to see if the WiFi range is stronger.
