Connection Issues with Fibre Service

- Unplug your router for a full minute before plugging it back in to reset the connection.

- Inspect fibre optic cables for any bends, breaks, or loose fittings around your home.

- Test the connection directly on the ONT device if possible, bypassing your router.

Speeds Not Matching Advertised Rates

- Use a wired Ethernet connection to your computer for an accurate speed test.

- Run tests during off-peak hours when network traffic is lower.

- Disable any bandwidth-heavy devices or apps running in the background.

Trouble Logging into the Online Portal

- Clear browser history, cache, and cookies, then try logging in again.

- Switch to another browser like Chrome or Firefox, or use private browsing mode.

- Double-check your username and password, and request a reset if you've forgotten them.

Wi-Fi Signal Weak or Dropping

- Reposition your router centrally in your home, away from walls or metal objects.

- Update your router's firmware through its admin page if available.

- Consider adding a Wi-Fi extender for larger spaces.

Router Lights Indicating Problems

- Note which lights are off or flashing red and refer to your router manual.

- Power cycle the ONT and router in sequence: ONT first, wait, then router.

- Ensure the router is compatible with Vumatel service specs.

Billing or Payment Failures

- Verify your payment method details are up to date in the portal.

- Try a different card or payment option if one keeps declining.

- Check for any service suspensions due to overdue balances first.

High Latency During Gaming or Calls

- Close unnecessary programs that might be using network resources.

- Prioritise your gaming device via QoS settings in the router if supported.

- Test ping to local servers to isolate if it's a routing issue.

App Connectivity Problems

- Force close and restart the Vumatel app on your phone.

- Ensure your phone's OS and app are fully updated.

- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to test.
