What should I do if my internet (SIM card, fibre, or microwave) stops working?

1 min read

If your internet connection drops completely—whether you’re using a SIM card router, fibre connection, or microwave link—there are several common causes and steps you can take to restore service quickly.

Universal Troubleshooting Guide: #

  1. Restart All Equipment
    • Turn off and unplug your router, ONT (for fibre), or microwave receiver.
    • Wait 30 seconds, then plug everything back in. This refreshes the connection.
  2. Check Indicator Lights
    • Look for green or stable indicator lights on your devices.
    • A red or blinking light may indicate a line fault or equipment error.
  3. Verify Power Source
    • Confirm there’s no load shedding or tripped breakers affecting your setup.
    • Use a UPS or inverter to keep critical internet equipment online during power cuts.
  4. Check for Billing or Account Issues
    • Ensure your internet account is active and paid up.
    • Log in to your client portal or contact billing support to confirm.
  5. Look for Outages
    • Visit Innovo Networks’ service status page or call us to see if there’s a known outage in your area.
  6. Test with Another Device
    • Try connecting a second device to rule out hardware issues with your laptop or PC.
  7. SIM Card Users:
    • Make sure your SIM has data and is inserted correctly.
    • Check if your router is showing signal strength or try the SIM in another device.
  8. Still Not Working?
    • Reach out to our 24/7 support team.
    • We’ll guide you through further steps or dispatch a technician if needed.
