Troubleshooting Intermittency. Let’s do this.
Step 1: System Power Cycle
1
LOCATE
Locate the black ZIRKEL power adapter within your house, typically found near your computer or router. The power adapter always has the ZIRKEL Wireless logo on it.
2
VERIFY
Verify that all wired connections going to/from the power adapter are securely connected (not loose or wiggling).
3
POWER CYCLE
Power cycle the adapter by briefly unplugging it from the outlet. This will reboot the internet.
4
CONFIRM
Confirm that the green LED on the adapter is lit, indicating that it is providing power to your internet receiver.
Step 2: Inspect
1
OBSTRUCTIONS
Take a look outside at your ZIRKEL receiver. Are there any physical obstructions? Tree branches, Icicles, vehicles, or a new home nearby that could be blocking the signal? Remove the obstructions if it is within your ability, or give us a call to relocate the receiver.
2
ALIGNMENT
Is the receiver out of alignment? If it is pointing at the ground or looks different than it did upon installation, give us a call to re-aim it. Please do not attempt to realign the antenna yourself. This activity needs to be completed by a trained ZIRKEL Wireless professional and can put you at risk of injury.
3
CABLING
Check out the grey cabling going to the receiver. If it is cracked or shows any sign of damage, give us a call to have a technician replace it.
If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing intermittency, please call us at 970-871-8500 for further diagnosis. If we can’t fix the problem over the phone, we’ll dispatch a technician right away.
