Last Known Issue:

4.14.24

11:45am

All systems are now operational, but you may need to power cycle your router if your connection does not automatically return.

If you are still having issues, please check the following: if you have the black cube router (AirCube), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back of the router is plugged into the blue port and not the gray port. If you have the flat white router (Minim), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back is plugged into the port directly next to the power cable, the one with the globe icon underneath. If you have the slender black router (Mikrotik hAP series), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back is plugged into port 1.

If you made any of these adjustments you will need to power cycle your router again by unplugging the power cable, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging back in and if you are still without connection after these steps, or are using a different router than listed above, please text a picture of the back of your router to the above number for assistance. Thank you.

11:15am

We are working on cutting systems over to backup power and should have restoration within the hour.

If you are still having issues, please follow the steps in the update from yesterday, and send us a text at the number above if you are still having issues. Thank you.

2.15.24

11am

We have a fix in place for customers still without internet or having connection difficulties such as frequent disconnects or poor connection. If you are still having issues you will need to contact us to enact this fix. Before doing so, please check the following: if you have the black cube router (AirCube), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back of the router is plugged into the blue port and not the gray port. If you have the flat white router (Minim), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back is plugged into the port directly next to the power cable, the one with the globe icon underneath. If you have the slender black router (Mikrotik hAP series), please ensure the ethernet cable going into the back is plugged into port 1.

If you made any of these adjustments you will need to power cycle your router again by unplugging the power cable, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging back in and if you are still without connection after these steps, or are using a different router than listed above, please text a picture of the back of your router to the above number for assistance. Thank you.

2.14.24

9am

Although the network has been restored we are still working on a permanent solution for customers still without connection. If you have already tried the below troubleshooting steps and are without connection, please text the above number for assistance. While we do have phone and email support, text is by far the quickest way to get a response. Please also ensure that all of the cabling is configured exactly like when the service was set up. If you are not sure, please reach out for assistance. Thank you.

2.10.24

8:30am

Although the network has been restored we are seeing some customers with certain routers not come back online. For most an extended power cycle is enough to bring them back up, however this has not been the case with all customers. We are still working with additional network engineers to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. There are two short term solutions you can try in the meantime. If you have an alternate router you can try to switch out your router and see if this brings you online, you can also use the ethernet cord plugged into your router to plug in any device with an ethernet port directly to the internet bypassing your router entirely. Thank you again for your patience as we work through this.

2.9.24

6:30pm

We appear to have achieved network restoration. We are receiving some reports that routers are not reconnecting even after a power cycle. If this is the case, please unplug the power cable from the back of your router and leave it unplugged for a full 5 minutes. From some test cases this seems to resolve all issues. If this does not resolve your issues please let us know so that we can continue to troubleshoot. Thank you again for your patience during this outage. 

5pm

We are nearing total restoration of the network. If your connection does not return automatically, please power cycle your router by unplugging just the power cable for 20 seconds and then plugging it back in, and reach out by texting 302-722-7774 if you are still unable to connect. Thank you once again for your patience and support.

3:30pm

We are aware that many customers are still without connection and continue to work on full network restoration. 

2:30pm

We are starting to see most, if not all affected customers come back online. If your connection does not return automatically, please power cycle your router by unplugging just the power cable for 20 seconds and then plugging it back in, and reach out by texting 302-722-7774 if you are still unable to connect. Thank you once again for your patience and support.

12pm

We are starting to see more customers come back online. If you have not done so in the last hour, you may need to power cycle your equipment in order for the connection to return. If you still do not have a connection after a recent power cycle, please sit tight and we should have everything else back online soon.

10am

Our crews are getting closer to total restoration. A portion of the network has come back online but those customers may experience an unstable connection as we continue work toward total restoration. 

8am

Our crews have been working around the clock to restore the Wilmington network and have brought in additional engineers to assist today. While we expect to be restored by the end of the day we don’t have a timeline at this point and would recommend that you operate off of a mobile hotspot or seek alternate arrangements for school or work if possible. Thank you for your patience as we work through this.

If you are unable to connect at all, please text the number above.
