Common support questions

Please ensure all power and data cables are firmly plugged into your Kiwiwifi supplied devices, and antenna tightly screwed on where appropriate. Also power cycle your equipment by switching off at the wall or removing power for 30 seconds.
Most devices have a switch, hotkey or menu setting to enable or disable Wi-Fi. Please ensure this is enabled or turned on. Also check your Wi-Fi router is turned on, this may also need to be turned off then turned back on.
A lot of things can affect your connection speed while using Wi-Fi including: how far away you are from the main location of the signal; the direction of the modem; building layout and walls and other things between your device and modem; the number of wireless devices using the same hotspot.
