Check Ethernet Cables

Having your cables incorrectly connected to your optical network unit (ONU) or wireless gateway (or router) can impact your fiber internet speed and performance.

  • Check that all Ethernet (or network) cables click into place tightly at the back of your equipment.
  • Check each cable connection one at a time to make sure each one is connected properly. (Don’t unplug them all at once. Do one at a time, so you don’t have to remember where each cable is supposed to connect.)
  • Confirm there are not damaged cables or cables that have tight bends in them. If any cables are damaged, they should be replaced.
    • If you have a Midco-provided ONU and wireless gateway, contact us to get a new cable.
    • If you own your router, a network cable can be purchased from any electronics retailer.
