Improving your Wi-Fi coverage and experience at home can make a big difference in your daily activities. Here are some tips to help you get started: 

Optimal Router Placement: Place your router in a central location, away from walls and obstructions. Elevate it if possible, as this can help distribute the signal more evenly. Please call support if you feel your router may be placed in a less-than-ideal location, as moving the router may require a technician visit. Below is some helpful information on ideal router placement.

• Central Location: Place your router in the center of your home. This helps ensure that the signal reaches all areas more evenly, reducing dead spots. 
• Elevated Position: Position the router on a high shelf or mount it on a wall. Wi-Fi signals spread out and downward, so an elevated position can help cover a larger area. 
• Open Space: Avoid placing the router in enclosed spaces like cabinets or behind furniture. Wi-Fi signals can be obstructed by walls and objects, so an open space allows for better signal distribution. 
• Away from Interference: Keep the router away from other electronic devices that can cause interference, such as microwaves, cordless phones, and baby monitors. These devices can disrupt the Wi-Fi signal. 
• Avoid Corners and Walls: Placing the router near walls or in corners can limit the signal's reach. Try to position it in a more open area to maximize coverage. 
• Near Devices: If you have specific devices that require a strong connection (like a smart TV or gaming console), try to place the router closer to those devices. 
• Consider Antenna Position: If your router has external antennas, adjust them for optimal coverage. Typically, positioning one antenna vertically and one horizontally can help cover both horizontal and vertical spaces.
• Update Firmware: Ensure your router's firmware is up to date. Manufacturers often release updates that can improve performance and security. This can be easily checked through our support staff.
• Use a Wi-Fi Extender or Mesh System: If you have dead spots in your home, consider using a Wi-Fi extender or a mesh Wi-Fi system to boost coverage 

 Wi-Fi Extender 

A Wi-Fi extender, also known as a repeater or booster, works by receiving your existing Wi-Fi signal, amplifying it, and then transmitting the boosted signal. This can help eliminate dead spots and extend coverage to areas where the signal is weak. Key benefits include: 

• Extended Coverage: Helps reach areas that your main router can't cover
• Easy Setup: Generally simple to set up and configure
• Cost Efficiency: Often less expensive than upgrading to a new router or a mesh system

Mesh Wi-Fi System 

A mesh Wi-Fi system consists of multiple units (nodes) that work together to create a single, seamless network. Each node communicates with the others to provide consistent coverage throughout your home. Key benefits include: 

• Seamless Coverage: Provides uniform coverage with no dead spots, as each node works together to distribute the signal
• Scalability: Makes it easy to add more nodes to expand coverage as needed
• Single Network Name: Uses a single network name (SSID), allowing devices to switch between nodes seamlessly
• Advanced Features: Often comes with additional features like parental controls, guest networks, and better security options

Choosing Between Extenders and Mesh Systems 

• Wi-Fi Extender: Best for smaller homes or specific areas with weak signals
• Mesh Wi-Fi System: Ideal for larger homes or spaces with multiple floors, where consistent coverage is needed throughout

If you’re connected to your Wi-Fi but still don’t have internet access, there’s probably something wrong with your internet signal. The same is true if you’re unable to access the internet using a wired connection. Try these fixes first:

Power cycle your ONT, router, and device.

Power cycling your ONT and router should be the first thing you do when encountering an internet signal issue. Don’t skip this step! This is almost always what tech support will ask you to try first, as it often solves the problem.

To power cycle your equipment, unplug the power cable for 60 seconds and plug it back in. The equipment will take a few minutes to reboot. It’s also a good idea to restart the device you’re using.

Check your cables and wires.

Wires and cables often become loose or damaged from repeated stress. The cable feeding the internet to your modem is either a fiber optic cable or an Ethernet cable.

Check for damage. See if the cable looks torn or perhaps chewed by a pet. Ethernet and fiber cables are especially prone to damage, as the copper wires or the fiber optic filament inside are very thin.

If you detect any damage, please contact support so we can dispatch a technician to help with the repairs.

Avoid unplugging and plugging fiber optic cables, as the filament is fragile.

NEVER unplug the fiber optic cable from the ONT, as it is a laser and can cause eye damage if pointed directly at the eyes.

You may check the seating on the Ethernet cables by:

• Ensure that it is plugged into the correct port. On Calix Routers, this port will be the port at the very bottom of the row of ports and is labeled WAN.
• Unplug and reconnect making sure that you hear a click on reconnection.

To connect your devices to Wi-Fi, you'll need your router's username and password. Follow the instructions below to add your devices,
