FAQS and Troubleshooting
How can I connect via Ethernet?
If you are having trouble using wireless connections, an ethernet cable is the way to go.
Unlike wireless signals, ethernet cable connections cannot be blocked or have issues due to interference.
To connect your devices to your router, plug the ethernet cable from your device’s ethernet port into one of the yellow LAN ports on the back of the router. Ask the provider when ordering your router if there is an ethernet cable included. Usually there is! After plugging it in, you should be connected to the network
How can I test my speeds?
Origin recommends that you download a speed test app to see what your current speeds are. Location may affect this. Origin offer boosters to those who wish to speed up their internet.
How can I connect to a wireless network?
- Firstly, you need to find the network name and password, which are either on the back of your router or on the box that came with it. To connect to your wireless router, you will need to know your wireless network name and password. These will be printed on a card or sticker supplied with your router.
- Plug in and switch on your router. Once it is on and lit up, click the network icon on your laptop, phone or tablet.
- Available networks will appear. Find your router's name and click 'connect'.
- You will be prompted for the security key (password). This is the wireless key we saw earlier on the back of your router or in the box. Make sure to enter the exact password, copying the capslock and number sequence exactly.
You should now be connected to your wireless network! If you encounter any issues, you should look at Origin’s connection FAQS.
