Fiber Internet Troubleshooting Tips

Coosa Valley Technologies strives to provide reliable service, but issues occasionally arise due to factors beyond our control. For example, if severe weather causes a power outage, your internet service will also be interrupted. If you experience slow or no internet connection, here are a few quick steps to try before contacting support:

Restart Your Device

Sometimes the issue may be with your device rather than your internet connection.

  • Restart the device not receiving a signal.
  • Test your Wi-Fi on another device to compare.

Restart Your Modem and Router

Resetting your equipment can resolve many common internet issues.

  • Unplug your modem and router.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds.
  • Plug them back in and allow time to connect.

This process refreshes your connection to our fiber internet network and clears temporary issues.
