- 1. How can I increase my signal strength?
Place your wireless adapter or PC (if you have an internal wireless adapter) close to a window (preferably one facing the hearest WiFi antenna). – Open curtains or blinds (aspecially aluminum blinds). – Remove any metallic window coverings (such as windshield sun blockers) as metallic items will reflect the signal away from you. – Contact your wireless device manufacturer or computer manufacturer for instructions on maximizing the transmit power output of your wireless adapter and disabling the default power save option that are intended to extend laptop battery life and limit the effective range of your wireless device. – Also, interface from microwaves, cordless telephones, trees and personal wireless routers can prevent you from getting a clear signal as well, so try to limit these factors if at all possible. – If you are using your laptop’s built-in WiFi adapter and relocation of the computer does not resolve your connection challenge, consider purchasing an external adapter. External adapters such as those made by Engenius are more suited for an outdoor WiFi environment. – External WiFi adapters have 3-5 times the power of internal adapters and allow you to move the adapter or place it in a window to maximize signal transmission without having to move your computer. Built-in internal wireless adapters are designed by computer manufacturers for use in interior environments like conference rooms at the office, inside your home, or at a coffee shop. We recommend the HField WiFire USB wireless adapter. You can purchase the Wifire at amazon.com and other online retailers.

Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 3. If I am having trouble configuring my wireless device, who do I call?

Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 4. Why can’t I receive email?
Be sure that you have connected to TengoInternet from your browser before trying to connect with an email client such as Outlook Express or Outlook.
Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 5. Why can’t I send email?
In order to use your existing pop email account to send email, you may need to disable password authentication on your outgoing mail server settings in your email program. We do not provide an smtp server for you to use in place of the smtp server of your email provider. Also, in some instances changing your outgoing SMTP port to 587 or 2525 instead of 25 will resolve your issue as well. If these suggestions do not resolve your issue, you will need to use a web based email to send.
Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 6. I installed the AOL browser and I can no longer use the TengoInternet Service.
AOL disables certain features within the Internet Explorer Browser when users select “Make AOL my default browser” during the install. If you have already installed AOL 8.0, please download a non-Microsoft browser such as Mozilla Firefox and use this browser to connect to TengoInternet.
Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 7. I selected a link in an email and my "TengoInternet Connection" window jumped to the link. How do I keep from getting logged off?

Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 8. How do I protect my computer from adware, spyware, and other malware threats?
It is very important that you frequently check for updates, and run an anti-virus program such as AVG or Norton, and malware removal utility such as Ad-Aware, Webroot Spysweeper, or SpyBot Search and Destroy frequently to ensure your internet connection does not get choked by spyware and malware trying to use your internet connection. Like any public internet connection, including dialup, DSL, and cable, wireless networks are not inherently secure. Although we support customer-initiated security solutions such as virtual private networks, encryption and personal firewalls, TengoInternet cannot guarantee or otherwise be responsible for their effectiveness. It is the customer’s responsibility to adopt those security measures best suited to their individual requirements. Your login information, account, and credit card information exchanged with TengoInternet are all protected by SSL encryption. It is important to make sure that any confidential personal or financial information you exchange with a web site is protected by encryption. You can tell if you are connected to a secure site by looking in the lower right-hand corner of your browser. If you see a small closed lock, you are connected to a secure page.
Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 9. I’m seeing interference with my connection that seems to come and go. What could cause this?
There are several things in your RV that can cause signal conflicts with your Wi-Fi adapter. If you use a cordless phone in the 2.4GHz band it can disrupt your network connection, as they both operate in the 2.4gigaHertz band. Also, microwave ovens are “noisy” in the radio spectrum and can leak radio waves that can disrupt your connection.
Was this answer helpful ? Yes / No - 10. My connection seems very slow. What’s wrong?
Spyware, Windows Updates, and IM clients can all run in the background and absorb bandwidth, making it seem that your connection has been suddenly slowed to a crawl. You can use programs such as Ad-Aware and/or Spybot Search & Destroy to test and make sure you do not have spyware on your PC that is using your connection, and keep your anti-virus current to make sure you do not have any Trojans, worms, or viruses on your PC that are slowing it as well.
Ensure your wireless adapter card is located near a window that is facing the wireless access point. Be sure to remove an aluminum sunscreen from the window where the wireless card is located.
