Troubleshooting Tips

If your internet connection appears to be down, here are the steps you have to follow:

Step 1: You need to shutdown your computer by clicking the “Start” menu button, select “Turn of computer” and then select the “Turn off” button.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cable from the injector (see picture 1 below).

Troubleshooting

Step 3: If you have a router go to step 4, if you don’t have a router, you just need to reconnect the power cable to the injector and after 2 minutes turn your computer back on. You should be back online. If not give us a call at 613-599-3775.

Step 4: Disconnect the power cable from the router (see picture 2 below).

Troubleshooting

Step 5: Reconnect the power to the router first and wait 1 minute. Reconnect the power to the injector and wait 2 minutes. Turn your computer back on. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS IN THIS SPECIFIC ORDER!!! If it still doesn’t work it is imperative that you remove your router from the equation, in other words, connect your Ethernet cable directly to your injector (white device on the pictures) and then restart steps 1 to 3.
