Step 1
- Check if the hi-speed modem's "Cable" or "Online" LED is steady ON.
- If it is OFF or blinking, make sure that the Coaxial and Power cable at the back of the hi-speed modem are properly connected.
- If it is still OFF or just keeps blinking, please message our 24/7 virtual assistant KYLA for further assistance.
- If it turns ON but is still unable to connect to the Internet, follow the steps below:
- Check if there's any loose connection or damaged cable from the modem to the affected computer and/or third-party router. Replace affected cables if necessary.
-
Restart the third party router and/or the affected computer/device. If you're connecting through Wi-Fi, make sure that the computer's Wi-Fi adapter is enabled and the physical Wi-Fi switch is turned ON.
Note: If you're using a third-party router, please try connecting the affected computer directly to the hi-speed modem using a good/working Ethernet cable (wired). This will isolate any possible networking device issue. - If the same issue persists, please proceed to Step 2.
Step 2
-
Check the computer's network status and make necessary changes if needed.
Note: Network status icon is usually found on the computer's system tray. Clicking or right-clicking on it will give us options on checking and changing the settings.
Make sure that the network adapter is enabled and the status is “Connected”. - If it shows “Connected”, open an Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) and browse popular websites (e.g. Yahoo.com, Google.com, etc.) to check if the issue is still present.
- If possible, you may also check if you will get same the result when using other Internet browsers and computers.
- You may also message our 24/7 virtual assistant KYLA, for further assistance.
To install your SKY Fiber modem follow these three easy steps:
- Connect RF cable. Make sure cable connections are secure.
- Plug power cord to an electric outlet. Modem may take up to five minutes to boot.
- Connect your devices to the modem.
- To get accurate test results, temporarily disconnect other devices or users connected to the network. If possible, use a computer that can be connected to the cable modem using an Ethernet (Patch/Ethernet) cable.
- Restart the cable modem by disconnecting it from the power source for 10 seconds. Restart the computer or device as well.
- Once the computer is connected to the Internet, open a web-browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, etc.).
-
Go to www.speedtest.net and select Metro Manila server Hosted by SKYbroadband to test your connection speed.
- If the speed test result is normal (Example: 2.0+ Mbps for a 3Mbps Plan), try accessing websites such as www.yahoo.com or www.youtube.com and observe the connection.
- If possible, check if you will get the same result when using another web-browser and computer.
- If the issue still persists, please send us a message on our messaging platform. Click the the Message Us widget found on the lower right-hand corner of your laptop/desktop or mobile screen on the mysky website.
