Fixed wireless is an evolution in cellular technology that utilizes excess spectrum on cellular networks to deliver high speed internet to your home or office. Similar to how a cell phone works, a signal is sent from a network tower to the fixed wireless receiver installed at your home or office. The receiver then provides a high-speed wi-fi connection. By eliminating the need for the “last mile” of fiber, fixed wireless makes high-speed internet a reality in rural areas.

Fast, reliable, and affordable, fixed wireless is a great option for high-speed internet. It is much faster than DSL or satellite and does not require a fiber or wired connection. It can also serve as an excellent secondary or back up connection for failover purposes. Once you are qualified for service, we will determine what equipment is best suited for your location to ensure you are receiving the best quality service possible.

Once you are qualified for service, we will determine if your location is best suited for an indoor or outdoor device to ensure you will receive the best quality service possible. If you qualify for an indoor device, we will mail it directly to your location and the device can easily be set up by you. If you qualify for an outdoor device, we will call you to schedule an installer to set up your new service at your location, you will be contacted by our customer support team within five business days.

We require all customers to utilize the products installed by our professionals to ensure optimal quality.

Some tips to reduce your data usage:

  • Turn off your device(s) when they are not in use to prevent background programs from running when you are not actively using them.
  • Check your cell phone to see if it’s using data in the background when connected to your network
  • Keep in mind that standard definition videos use approximately 1GB of data an hour and high definition can use up to 3GB per hour! That is a lot of data!
  • Check which wi-fi each of your devices is connected to. Some of our routers, particularly the indoor units, come with two wi-fi frequency
    connections; 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.  The 5 GHz frequency (you may see this listed on your available connections as “5G”) will work best on
    smartphones and laptops. The 2.4GHz frequency will be best for smart TV’s and videogame consoles and may be the only available connection
    they will show. 

On the Unlimited plan, we do not cap data. However, if you have elected the Off Season Basic plan or Business Backup plan, there might be a chance you will use more data than what is allotted per month. This will result in a system generated slow-down of your internet speed. To fix this, go to your “My Account” portal at https://www.wireless-trailrunner.com/myaccount and upgrade your plan to the Unlimited plan or submit a ticket under your “My Account” portal. 

We never cap data usage on the Unlimited plan. Visit our Plan Details page for more information on our available plans and pricing.

Please review this troubleshooting checklist:

  • Have you paid your bill?  If your bill has not been paid, you will automatically be shut off from service. You may need to go into the billing tab on your “My Account” portal and update your billing information. 
  • Is your computer trying to connect to the right network? For indoor devices, look for a wi-fi name that has “downeast” in the title. For outdoor devices, look for “zyxel” or “dlink” in the title.
  • Did you enter the Wi-Fi password correctly? This can be found on the back label of each device. Keep in mind, passwords are case sensitive. 
  • Check the lights on your router, are they red? If so, you may need to power cycle your device.
  • If you are experiencing a loss of internet, please do NOT press the reset button on the device. Follow the instructions below.
Power Cycling Indoor Routers (Click here for downloadable PDF):
  1. For indoor routers, simply turn off the device via the power button in the back, wait approximately 10 second and power back on. Allow anywhere from 5-10 minutes for the device to establish a connection.

Power Cycling Outdoor Routers (Click here for downloadable PDF):

  1. Locate your wireless access point. Typically, a white or black modem.
  2. Follow the ethernet cable from the back of the router back to a black rectangular POE injector. This should have a single green light on it.
  3. On the other side of the ethernet connectors on the POE is a black power cord, follow that back to the outlet and unplug. Wait until the light goes out in the POE injector.
  4. Plug the power cord back into the outlet. It may take between 5-10 minutes for the router to be able to establish connection. 
  5. If there’s still no internet connection, check to see that all the chords are plugged in firmly and repeat steps 1-4. If the problem persists, please submit a service ticket to your account describing the issue and the steps you’ve taken to troubleshoot, and we will reach out to you shortly.
