We place an antenna and radio on your roof, point it at one of our towers and establish an Internet connection via radio frequency(RF). We then run an ethernet cable from the radio to the room where your computer or router is located, connect to the power supply for our radio and plug into your computer or router. The type of antenna we use at your location depends on whether we have line-of-sight to one of our towers.

Yellowknife Wireless has a very secure network. In fact, it’s so secure we might have to loosen your connection up a little to enable you to do certain things. If you are having trouble with a gaming device or establishing a VPN connection to a computer at another location, you may need a public IP address. Please call our office and we will help you with this.

1. Secure cables. Make sure all connections and cables are maintained and secure.
2. Reboot Router: Simply pull the thin black (power)cord from the back of device, wait 30 seconds, and plug back in.
3. Reboot POE(identified above): Unplug black power cable from the wall. Wait 30-60 seconds and plug back in. May require router reboot(see below)
