Got wireless?

If you have a personal router and are connecting it to our network, wait! Please visit the appropriate section for a "how-to" first! Incorrectly configured or connected routers are one of the top reasons your connection gets suspended.

Going somewhere?

When going on break, please take a minute to look over the "best practices" of what to do when leaving on break .

Need help?

It's always a good idea to have this checklist handy. Over 90% of the calls we get from folks who can't access the internet are "self solved" here.

If your building has Ethernet service provided by Cavalier Broadband as part of your rent through your landlord, you should have no problems using a VOIP (Voice Oover Internet Protocol) Provider with our service.

There are several ways to make this happen of course.

  1. Plug in the adapter from your VOIP provider directly to our connection and plug your PC into the appliance from your VOIP provider.
  2. Use a router approved by your VOIP provider (Linksys, Netgear, Belkin and other manufacturers make them). You can usually buy these locally (like at Staples downtown) and connect the router's WAN port to our connection, then plug your PC/TiVO/Playstation into the router (or use the wireless connection afforded by your router to your PC, etc.).
  3. Use a software provided by your VOIP provider to make/receive calls. You will have to have a speaker/microphone (or headset) and have to have your computer booted up with the software running in order to use this method.

Realize the quality is not going to be the same as with a regular telephone line, and the quality of service we might afford is not guaranteed when it leaves our network and is on the Internet.
