Wi-Fi routers will broadcast a network SSID as long as they are powered on. If you have any signal at all then you should be able to access the internet even if the speeds are slow. If you are getting a “No Internet” message though, there are some steps you can try.
No Internet with a Poor Signal?
If your network has a special login page for purchasing Wi-Fi or using a unique code given to you, you may need to login through the captive portal splash page. Try visiting our Login Troubleshooting page for help.

Move Closer
While unlikely, it may be beneficial to make sure that your poor signal isn’t the issue. Try moving closer to your router to improve the signal.
If you're experiencing issues with your internet connection, rebooting your network devices can often restore the connection. To start, turn off any devices that are currently connected to the Wi-Fi network. This includes your computer, smartphone, or any other device that you use to connect to the internet. Next, unplug your router from the power source. Wait for 10-15 seconds before plugging it back in. Allow your router to restart and wait for the lights to stabilize. Once your router has fully restarted, turn on your device and reconnect to the Wi-Fi network. If you're still experiencing issues, repeat these steps and try connecting to the network again
Power Cycle
If you have a device with an ethernet port and if you have a cable, you can try plugging it in directly to your router to determine if your router has internet from the ethernet port. Carefully insert the cable into each end. Make sure that the cable is plugged in securely on both sides. Once connected, you should see indicator lights on the ethernet ports. You can then try to access the internet again.
