Today’s Wi-Fi equipment does not provide for prioritization of VOIP traffic, so TengoInternet does not current support VOIP services.

If you don’t own a personal printer, the most convenient solution available today is to connect to www.fedex.com/us/officeprint/main/index.html and find a local Kinko’s shop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Typically, the first step in troubleshooting a network is to power-cycle the equipment. If this step has been taken, please contact our network support team for further assistance.

Products reach the end of their product life cycle for a number of reasons. These reasons include market demands; technology innovation and product development; or the products simply mature over time and are replaced by functionally richer technology. While this is an established part of the overall product life cycle, TengoInternet recognizes that equipment reaching its end of life affects our customers and their guests. The following policy has been created to help TengoInternet customers better manage their end-of-life transition and to assist customers in understanding how we can help ease the transition to alternative products and technology. Equipment-specific, end-of-life policies are available on the manufacturers’ websites. The end-of-life policy only applies to end-of-life announcements made on or after September 1, 2015. The policy does not apply to products that are already subject to an end-of-life announcement.

TengoInternet will give a 90-day notice of the end-of-life date, if given notice by manufacturer. The notice will be provided to the customer by email. All equipment and product end-of-life policies are outlined by each individual manufacturer. Please visit the manufacturer’s website or call the customer service number for details.

TengoIntenet’s network operations center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist with software and hardware issues, as well as to ease the transition and answer questions about the end-of-life policy to the extent we, as a service provider, not equipment manufacturer, can.
TengoInternet will continue to honor the terms of any and all warranties given on end-of-life equipment. TengoInternet’s team of professionals will advise on how to best address issues created by a manufacturer’s end-of-life equipment on a case-by-case basis in order to customize responses to customers’ specific needs.

Customer must ensure it has a current and fully paid network support contract with TengoInternet to receive network support on equipment. Customers should contact their dedicated account managers directly with specific equipment and support questions.

Disclaimer: All hardware, products, and equipment is manufactured by one of several manufacturers. For product-specific end-of-life policies, please visit the following websites and contact them for product specific questions.
