Ways to Narrow Down an Issue

If a computer says “no internet available,” don’t just assume that LCWA internet went down. In 90% of cases, LCWA is doing fine and it’s something in the house. Here are some steps to take to figure out the issue, in the order that we recommend.

  6. Lastly, contact LCWA and ask them to remotely check your rooftop radio. Sometimes that radio fails. If it does, we can detect it remotely. Send a note asking for that to tech.support@lcwireless.net.
