With a Wi-Fi connection, you aren't tethered to your desk. You can connect to the internet with your laptop, tablet or smartphone, and enjoy the convenience of being online whenever you want, while enjoying the freedom to move around. You'll want to consider Wi-Fi access when you select an internet plan.

How Does Wi-Fi Work?

Once you have satellite internet installed in your home or business, you can use a wireless router to create a Wi-Fi connection. All you have to do to begin connecting Wi-Fi to your internet service is have a wireless router connected to the modem. Your internet service may include a modem with a built-in router. Once everything is set up, you can do a Wi-Fi connection test to see if your portable devices can connect.

Wi-Fi Connection Problems

You should have no problems connecting to the internet with your portable devices. However, if you have a Wi-Fi connection issue, it's easy to determine the problem in many cases. First, make sure the internet service isn't down due to storms or other issues. Check the modem to make sure all lights are on. Then, check your wireless router to make sure it's connected and all lights indicate connection. You may need to reset your modem or router, if you experience a Wi-Fi connection failure.

You can also check on your mobile device with your Wi-Fi connection manager to find out if your particular gadget is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi. Some devices must be changed manually to allow connection through Wi-Fi.

Adding Wi-Fi to your internet plan just requires having a wireless router and setting up your devices. It can make it so much easier to get online whenever you want without being stuck in one location in your home or business.
