Check the modem's location and positioning

The location and positioning of your modem play a key role in ensuring good WiFi coverage throughout your home. Place the modem as centrally as possible in your home.

Note

Thick walls, pillars, large mirrors and plants can also interfere with a good WiFi signal. A clear line of sight to the router is a good indication of a strong connection. The shorter the distance between the router and connected devices, the better the WiFi connection.

3
Check signal strength

If the signal shows only one to two bars, try moving the modem to another place in your home until you find a stronger signal.

For the best performance, we recommend:

  • an upright position

  • a location near a window

  • an open area free from obstructions

4
Check the status shown on the modem display

Your Connect Box 5 Ultra display shows important connection information:

  • Signal strength

  • WiFi status

  • Connection type (4G/5G)

  • Error messages

If WiFi is disabled:

  1. Press the OK button.

  2. Press on the WiFi menu.

  3. Use the arrow keys to navigate to WiFi Switch on/off and reactivate the WiFI.

  4. Reconnect your device to the WiFi network.

5
Run a diagnostic directly on the modem

The Connect Box 5 Ultra includes a built-in diagnostic function.

  1. Press the OK button.

  2. Use the arrow keys to navigate to Diagnostics.

  3. For example, check:

    • Status of Network

    • Status of WiFi

    • Status connection

    • Performance test

The displayed information helps identify potential connection issues more quickly.
