Still not working quite right?

Here are some additional things you should know prior to giving us a call.


Viruses, Malware, Bloat!? Oh My…

Is it the internet, or your devices? Often times, slow internet is the result of poorly maintained devices on your network. Run a network speedtest to see if you’re getting your subscribed package. If you are, and the internet still feels slow, we can help you clean up those devices to get your best speeds.

Slow speeds over WiFi?

Home networking is tricky sometimes. We can only supply your package speeds directly to your router, it’s up to your router to make sure it makes it out to all your devices. If you’re getting slow speeds on wireless devices, plug right in to your PoE provided by RuralLynx. A wired connection will always be your best connection, and is the only real way to do an accurate speed test. If it’s slow from there, call us!

Why am I buffering again?

A stream that continually buffers could be several things. If the stream is from a site such as YouTube or Netflix, it could indicate network problems. Running a network speedtest will help to verify this. If the stream is from a third party website or an AndroidBox, it is more likely the source of the stream that is causing the problem.

Nothing is working at all!!!

The technology behind wireless internet is growing explosively. Software and hardware updates are constant and we do our best to be on that cutting edge to provide you with the best possible experience. If the internet is completely down, there is a possibility of network-wide work being done. Check the email you supplied us with at the time of installation for network updates.
