6 TROUBLESHOOTING If you experience problems with your Fi-Speed Internet service, the following checklist could save you a call to EPB. It will also help us diagnose the problem faster upon calling. First, be sure to check the connections between the wall outlet and the computer(s). Next, check to make sure that your firewall software is not blocking your Internet access. If you ve recently installed new firewall software, it could result in a loss of connectivity until the software has been properly configured. Please check your software documentation for help with your configuration. If you are using a router: Confirm that the power light on the router is illuminated. If it is not, check to make sure the router is plugged into a wall outlet or power strip. If you are using a power strip, remember to make sure that the circuit breaker and power switch (if so equipped) are in the ON position. If your computer connects using a wireless connection, make sure that you have sufficient signal strength to connect to the router. Moving the computer closer to the router may help you to connect. Please note that a wireless router can slow down any Internet service. Also, EPB Fiber Optics highly recommends securing your network if using a wireless router. Reboot the router and restart your computer. This will often resolve the problem. If you still cannot connect to the Internet, please call us at and we ll help get you connected.
