Troubleshooting Internet Issues

Troubleshooting Internet Issues


Experiencing internet problems with your  Twireless connection? This guide will help you resolve common issues quickly before contacting support.


No Internet Connection

If your internet is completely down, follow these steps:

1. Check PPPoE Status

  • Log in to your router’s interface.

  • Confirm that PPPoE is connected.

  • If it says “Disconnected” or “Connecting,” your router may not be authenticated.

💡 Tip: Re-enter your username and password or reboot the router.


2. Restart Your Devices

  • Step 1: Turn off your indoor router and outdoor antenna (CPE) (if separately powered).

  • Step 2: Wait 30 seconds.

  • Step 3: Turn both back on and wait 1–2 minutes.

Most issues are fixed by a power cycle.


3. Check Your Subscription

  • Your internet will stop working if your plan has expired.

  • Log in to portal.taprap.ng to check your account status.

  • If expired, renew using online payment or recharge card.


4. Look for Loose Cables

  • Ensure all Ethernet and power cables are properly plugged in.

  • If you see blinking lights on the router, the device is active.


🐌 Slow Internet Speeds

Slow speeds can be caused by internal or external factors.

Try These:

  • Disconnect devices not in use.

  • Pause large downloads or streaming apps (Netflix, YouTube, torrents).

  • Restart your router.

If speeds remain low consistently, contact support. We may need to:

  • Check your antenna alignment.

  • Perform a signal test.

  • Upgrade your plan if your usage exceeds your plan capacity.


🌧️ Weather & Signal Issues

Heavy rain or physical obstructions (new buildings, trees) may affect wireless signal.

📌 In such cases:

  • Wait for the weather to clear.

  • If the issue continues for more than 24 hours, contact our support for a technician visit.


🔒 PPPoE Authentication Failure

If you’re seeing messages like:

  • "Authentication failed"

  • "Invalid username or password"

Try the following:

  • Check for typing errors in your credentials.

  • Ensure no extra spaces are entered.

  • Contact support if you're locked out.


🧠 Advanced Router Issues

If you recently changed router settings:

  • Reset the router to factory defaults if you lose access.

  • Reconfigure PPPoE settings.

We recommend allowing only trained personnel to make changes to your router settings.
