Frequently Asked Questions

Is connecting to Wi-Fi the same as connecting to the internet?

The short answer is no, not technically. Just because you're connected to your Wi-Fi router doesn't mean you are also connected to the internet. You might notice from time to time that your computer says you're connected to Wi-Fi, but you're not able to access any websites or send email.

 

This means one of two things:

  • Your modem is not properly connected to the internet 
  • Your Wi-Fi router is not successfully connected to your modem

 

(If you're experiencing this issue, read our troubleshooting guide here, or give our Network Operations Center (NOC) a call at 866-831-1661.)

 

The next time you "get on Wi-Fi," you'll know there's a bit more to it. You are actually connecting to a router that is then connecting to the modem that is then connecting to the internet.

 

For a full explanation of the internet vs. Wi-Fi, read our full guide here.

What factors affect connection speeds?

Are there times where you're not getting the speed you should be? Before calling us, consider the factors below first.

 

  • All online activities aren't created equal (when it comes to speed). There are minimum speeds needed to enjoy different online activities. Make sure you have the right speed to meet your needs. Do you stream TV and movies? If so, make sure the speed you've selected is fast enough to support the video quality you're expecting when streaming. Most companies have minimums for the different levels of video quality (i.e., standard definition or SD, high definition or HD and ultra high-definition or 4K). Netflix recommends the following:
    • SD = 3 Mbps
    • HD = 5 Mbps
    • Ultra/4K =  25 Mbps

 

  • Different devices support different speeds. Make sure your connected devices are capable of supporting the speeds you're expecting. Apple and Android-based devices, for example, have maximum Wi-Fi speeds they're capable of supporting. If you're using a phone that's more than 3 years old, you might not be getting the full download/upload speeds in your home.

 

  • Older equipment might be slowing you down. If your service hasn't recently been installed or you're using your own equipment, make sure that it's relatively new. Technology is constantly updated, and simply put, new routers work better. 

 

For more in-depth details on these factors, you can read our fact sheet.

 

If you're still having issues, please give our Network Operations Center (NOC) a call at 866-831-1661.

How do I determine what speed I need?

In order to determine the speed needed, it’s important to consider how you use the internet on a day-to-day basis. Now, we’re all doing a lot more interactive activities online that require fast download AND upload speeds; that includes working from home, streaming movies and TV, online gaming and video chatting. After all, there’s nothing worse than your screen freezing when you’re on an important video call or in the middle of your favorite show or movie.


To help, we’ve created a simple calculator to help you understand your current internet usage (and other activities that may use internet down the road) in order to determine the best speed for your needs. You can download a copy here.

How do I setup or reset my equipment?

First, let us just say it’s pretty easy. But don’t just take our word for it; comedian Gerry Dee will walk you through how to set up your system in our short, 3-minute video.

For more instructions or specifics, call our Network Operations Center (NOC) a call at 866-831-1661.

How can I monitor my network?

Using our CommandIQ® app, you can easily monitor your network’s performance and set up specific alerts, controls and preferences all from your mobile device.


To get started, go to the App Store or Google Play Store, and download the app. Once downloaded, you’ll be prompted to enter your network ID and a few other key pieces of information.


After initial set up, watch our quick, 3-minute video on how to use different functions within the app, including bandwidth prioritization to ensure you have exactly what you need when you’re working from home or seeking entertainment for the day.

Who do I contact when an outage or network issue occurs?

If you're experiencing a network outage or issue that you're unable to manage or resolve through the CommandIQ® app, please email our customer support team or call us at 414-459-3550.

Is MWFN fiber internet available for businesses, too?
