&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 1G Router === &lt;br /&gt;
* This router may be supplied to XMission customers. Contact Support for more details. &lt;br /&gt;

For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Recommended Routers == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it comes to your connection, your router is one of the most important devices you can add to your home network. We know that routers are not cheap, however in order to meet the demand of your daily wifi needs, you may need to invest a little more money in a router that will cover your entire home with little dead spots. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Keep in mind that while any gigabit router is compatible, XMission recommends the following products based on feedback from our staff and customers. The products below are not required for service. You should choose a router that fits your budget.  &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please remember XMission cannot guarantee advertised speeds over a wireless connection. When available we recommend the use of Ethernet cables. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== XWi Home ==&lt;br /&gt;
The XWi Home is our recommended router setup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For intermediate users, or those who would like to take advantage of the full capabilities of the XMission Network, we recommend Ubiquiti&#039;s UniFi wireless line: a proprietary mesh-like network environment, commonly used in enterprise-level deployments. XMission&#039;s office and some staffers use Ubiquiti for wireless access points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Placement of your router == &lt;br /&gt;
The placement of your router is very important. Your wireless signal will need to travel from your router to where you are in your home. Putting your router in a utility closet is probably not the best choice if your utility closet is in your basement and you spend all day upstairs. You may want to reconsider a more central location for your router. Materials such as concrete, metal, brick, and sheetrock—in other words, the materials your walls are made from—can and will impact the strength of your wireless signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Router Issues == &lt;br /&gt;
If you continue to have issues with your current router, it may be time to upgrade. If you do not see improved performance after talking with our support department and walking you through factory resetting your router and updating the firmware, it may be time to get a new router. You can visit our [[Router and Wireless Troubleshooting]] guide to help you further.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Register - Transfer - Manage==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I register a domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can visit [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com]. You will be prompted to create an XMission account, even if you already have one. This new account will be used to access your control panel where you can manage your domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I transfer my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are transferring a domain to XMission we prefer you use [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Transfer a Domain to XMission&#039;&#039;&#039; then on the following page enter the domain you wish to transfer to us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The process for transferring a domain name varies depending on the domain type. Please ensure that the current registrar&#039;s procedures have been followed and they have been authorized by you to approve our transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
Please also make sure that any registry lock has been removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another year will be added to your current time left at your current registrar. (E.g. If you registered for a year with another registrar, and you have six months left, you will still have that six months in addition to yoru new registration duration with XMission.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE: In order to successfully transfer a domain, XMission requires customer to keep their email address current.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a customer decides to transfer a domain, they will receive a series of emails with instructions on the process. However the following challenges often arise:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The email never arrives due to spam filters, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not respond quickly enough to the emails. After 5 days, the customer must start the transfer again. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may have the wrong email address associated with the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not have their username/password for the domains management page, which is separate from their XMission account username/password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To successfully transfer a domain, the following conditions must exist:&lt;br /&gt;
* A domain cannot be in a locked or hold status.&lt;br /&gt;
* For the reseller to reseller transfers - or registrar to registrar transfers - the domain must have resided with the losing registrar for more than 60 days since it was first registered or transferred there. &lt;br /&gt;
* Transfers add one year to the domains&#039;s registration; therefore, the gaining reseller must have a sufficient balance for the renewal in order to complete the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
* Domain names that are expired but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiry date, for most TLDs) can be transferred. &lt;br /&gt;
* The current administrative contact&#039;s email address must be valid, to allow for the confirmation of the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A domains&#039;s name servers cannot be changed during a registrar transfer. The nameservers will remain the same during the transfer, and they can be changed once the domain has reached the receiving registrar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Extra Info&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Not all registrars handle transfers/renewals or registrations the same as our reseller. Some placed do not want to let domains go, so they drag their feet and make it difficult which can be annoying but there really is nothing we can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I manage my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] then you can go there and put your domain in the filed for &#039;&#039;&#039;Manage your domain&#039;&#039;&#039; enter your domain and the username and password you used when you registered your domain. This can be different from your XMission username/password. If you do not remember your username/password you can contact us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I renew my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When your domain is up for renewal, OpenSRS, the registrar we resell through, will send a paper invoice to the billing address on the domain. As an additional reminder, XMission will send an email reminder to the account that the domain was registered to. The charge for an extra year will be charged along with your next month of Internet services. If you do not wish to renew, please contact accounting and notify them that you would like the domain to lapse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== WHOIS / Contact Privacy ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain Name WHOIS / Contact privacy hides the identity of a domain registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that registrant&#039;s domain. The  benefit of having WHOIS Privacy is that the registrant&#039;s identity, including address, phone number, and email address, is shielded from spammers, identity thieves, and other undesirables. WHOIS Privacy is handled though the OpenSRS Doman Management Portal([https://manage.opensrs.net https://manage.opensrs.net]). Once logged in, select &#039;&#039;&#039; Domain Extras&#039;&#039;&#039;, then next to &#039;&#039;&#039;Enable WHOIS Privacy&#039;&#039;&#039; click in the circle to enable, and lastly hit &#039;&#039;&#039;save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Contact Privacy is $5.00 per domain yearly and is a non-refundable fee. This fee from XMission is approximately half of what the other common registrar services charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can enable Contact privacy for a domain at any time. If enabled, it expires at the same time as the domain name. If the domain is set to auto-renew, Contact Privacy also auto-renews(and incurs any associated cost) at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone tries to contact an email address associated with a domain that is protected by Contact Privacy, they receive an auto-responded message instructing them to visit contactprivacy.com in order to reach the registrant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Privacy Caveats====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; that some domain extensions have privacy caveats:&lt;br /&gt;
*.at, .co.at, .or.at: Since May 21, 2010, contact data (defined as phone number, fax number, e-mail address) is hidden by the registrar and must be explicitly made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.ca: Since June 10, 2008, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority no longer posts registration details of individuals associated with .ca domains.&lt;br /&gt;
*.de: Owner and technical contact must show their postal addresses. Phone number and e-mail address do not have to be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.nl: Since January 12, 2010, registrant postal addresses are no longer publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;
*.us: In March 2005, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said that owners of .us domains will not have the option of keeping their information private, and that it must be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.uk: Nominet, the guardian of UK domain namespace, provide inclusive domain privacy tools on their extensions (.co.uk, .me.uk etc.), providing that the registrant is not trading from the domain name.&lt;br /&gt;

One of the most costly things to happen to a domain is when they go into a redemption. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Redemption is when a domain has gone through a renewal phase without payment, that phase is usually 40 days from the first warning. It will then sit 30 days in a hold state until it is released into the general public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to bring the domain out of redemption the cost is $80 in addition to the domain&#039;s regular one year renewal cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I set my DNS?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you purchased your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and you do not have any hosting services. Additional DNS services will be required to manage your DNS. Primary DNS can be added to your account for $5/mo. That will allow you to manage your DNS, setting up the different components that tell the whole world where to find and send mail to your domain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Legacy Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
*Currently you can call us to make changes to your DNS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Shared Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you currently set up with out Shared Hosting package you can manger your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Adding/Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Cloud Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our Cloud Hosting package you can manage your DNS by Logging into your Control Pannel:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hosting Control Panel/Adding - Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====KVM====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our KVM Hosting package you can mange your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://manage.xmission.com http://manage.xmission.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer Parked Domains?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain parking refers to the registration of an internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to not do anything with your domain that is ok. When you are ready we offer hosting services that will suit your needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer domain alias or redirect?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Alias allows you to point a domain name to another domain name. (E.g. http://www.mydomain.com would open the same as http://www.my-domain.com) An alias will keep the domain the visitor entered in the address bar of their browser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Redirect will allow you to direct your traffic to another page or another domain. This works well if you are developing a new site or changed your domain name and want to redirect traffic to the new site. A redirect will change the URL after it has been typed in the address bar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both of these servers require DNS Services or Hosting to work properly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Register - Transfer - Manage==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I register a domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can visit [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com]. You will be prompted to create an XMission account, even if you already have one. This new account will be used to access your control panel where you can manage your domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I transfer my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are transferring a domain to XMission we prefer you use [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Transfer a Domain to XMission&#039;&#039;&#039; then on the following page enter the domain you wish to transfer to us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The process for transferring a domain name varies depending on the domain type. Please ensure that the current registrar&#039;s procedures have been followed and they have been authorized by you to approve our transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
Please also make sure that any registry lock has been removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another year will be added to your current time left at your current registrar. (E.g. If you registered for a year with another registrar, and you have six months left, you will still have that six months in addition to yoru new registration duration with XMission.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE: In order to successfully transfer a domain, XMission requires customer to keep their email address current.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a customer decides to transfer a domain, they will receive a series of emails with instructions on the process. However the following challenges often arise:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The email never arrives due to spam filters, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not respond quickly enough to the emails. After 5 days, the customer must start the transfer again. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may have the wrong email address associated with the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not have their username/password for the domains management page, which is separate from their XMission account username/password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To successfully transfer a domain, the following conditions must exist:&lt;br /&gt;
* A domain cannot be in a locked or hold status.&lt;br /&gt;
* For the reseller to reseller transfers - or registrar to registrar transfers - the domain must have resided with the losing registrar for more than 60 days since it was first registered or transferred there. &lt;br /&gt;
* Transfers add one year to the domains&#039;s registration; therefore, the gaining reseller must have a sufficient balance for the renewal in order to complete the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
* Domain names that are expired but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiry date, for most TLDs) can be transferred. &lt;br /&gt;
* The current administrative contact&#039;s email address must be valid, to allow for the confirmation of the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A domains&#039;s name servers cannot be changed during a registrar transfer. The nameservers will remain the same during the transfer, and they can be changed once the domain has reached the receiving registrar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Extra Info&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Not all registrars handle transfers/renewals or registrations the same as our reseller. Some placed do not want to let domains go, so they drag their feet and make it difficult which can be annoying but there really is nothing we can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I manage my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] then you can go there and put your domain in the filed for &#039;&#039;&#039;Manage your domain&#039;&#039;&#039; enter your domain and the username and password you used when you registered your domain. This can be different from your XMission username/password. If you do not remember your username/password you can contact us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I renew my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When your domain is up for renewal, OpenSRS, the registrar we resell through, will send a paper invoice to the billing address on the domain. As an additional reminder, XMission will send an email reminder to the account that the domain was registered to. The charge for an extra year will be charged along with your next month of Internet services. If you do not wish to renew, please contact accounting and notify them that you would like the domain to lapse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== WHOIS / Contact Privacy ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain Name WHOIS / Contact privacy hides the identity of a domain registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that registrant&#039;s domain. The  benefit of having WHOIS Privacy is that the registrant&#039;s identity, including address, phone number, and email address, is shielded from spammers, identity thieves, and other undesirables. WHOIS Privacy is handled though the OpenSRS Doman Management Portal([https://manage.opensrs.net https://manage.opensrs.net]). Once logged in, select &#039;&#039;&#039; Domain Extras&#039;&#039;&#039;, then next to &#039;&#039;&#039;Enable WHOIS Privacy&#039;&#039;&#039; click in the circle to enable, and lastly hit &#039;&#039;&#039;save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Contact Privacy is $5.00 per domain yearly and is a non-refundable fee. This fee from XMission is approximately half of what the other common registrar services charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can enable Contact privacy for a domain at any time. If enabled, it expires at the same time as the domain name. If the domain is set to auto-renew, Contact Privacy also auto-renews(and incurs any associated cost) at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone tries to contact an email address associated with a domain that is protected by Contact Privacy, they receive an auto-responded message instructing them to visit contactprivacy.com in order to reach the registrant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Privacy Caveats====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; that some domain extensions have privacy caveats:&lt;br /&gt;
*.at, .co.at, .or.at: Since May 21, 2010, contact data (defined as phone number, fax number, e-mail address) is hidden by the registrar and must be explicitly made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.ca: Since June 10, 2008, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority no longer posts registration details of individuals associated with .ca domains.&lt;br /&gt;
*.de: Owner and technical contact must show their postal addresses. Phone number and e-mail address do not have to be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.nl: Since January 12, 2010, registrant postal addresses are no longer publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;
*.us: In March 2005, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said that owners of .us domains will not have the option of keeping their information private, and that it must be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.uk: Nominet, the guardian of UK domain namespace, provide inclusive domain privacy tools on their extensions (.co.uk, .me.uk etc.), providing that the registrant is not trading from the domain name.&lt;br /&gt;

A Domain Alias allows you to point a domain name to another domain name. (E.g. http://www.mydomain.com would open the same as http://www.my-domain.com) An alias will keep the domain the visitor entered in the address bar of their browser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Redirect will allow you to direct your traffic to another page or another domain. This works well if you are developing a new site or changed your domain name and want to redirect traffic to the new site. A redirect will change the URL after it has been typed in the address bar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both of these servers require DNS Services or Hosting to work properly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Register - Transfer - Manage==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I register a domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can visit [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com]. You will be prompted to create an XMission account, even if you already have one. This new account will be used to access your control panel where you can manage your domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I transfer my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are transferring a domain to XMission we prefer you use [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Transfer a Domain to XMission&#039;&#039;&#039; then on the following page under &#039;&#039;&#039;Transfer an existing domain&#039;&#039;&#039; you will enter in your domain name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The process for transferring a domain name varies depending on the domain type. Please ensure that the current registrar&#039;s procedures have been followed and they have been authorized by you to approve our transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
Please also make sure that any registry lock has been removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another year will be added to your current time left at your current registrar. (E.g. If you registered for a year with another registrar, and you have six months left, you will still have that six months in addition to yoru new registration duration with XMission.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE: In order to successfully transfer a domain, XMission requires customer to keep their email address current.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a customer decides to transfer a domain, they will receive a series of emails with instructions on the process. However the following challenges often arise:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The email never arrives due to spam filters, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not respond quickly enough to the emails. After 5 days, the customer must start the transfer again. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may have the wrong email address associated with the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not have their username/password for the domains management page, which is separate from their XMission account username/password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To successfully transfer a domain, the following conditions must exist:&lt;br /&gt;
* A domain cannot be in a locked or hold status.&lt;br /&gt;
* For the reseller to reseller transfers - or registrar to registrar transfers - the domain must have resided with the losing registrar for more than 60 days since it was first registered or transferred there. &lt;br /&gt;
* Transfers add one year to the domains&#039;s registration; therefore, the gaining reseller must have a sufficient balance for the renewal in order to complete the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
* Domain names that are expired but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiry date, for most TLDs) can be transferred. &lt;br /&gt;
* The current administrative contact&#039;s email address must be valid, to allow for the confirmation of the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A domains&#039;s name servers cannot be changed during a registrar transfer. The nameservers will remain the same during the transfer, and they can be changed once the domain has reached the receiving registrar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Extra Info&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Not all registrars handle transfers/renewals or registrations the same as our reseller. Some placed do not want to let domains go, so they drag their feet and make it difficult which can be annoying but there really is nothing we can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I manage my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on what part of our system your domain was registered determines where you can manager your domain.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] then you can go there and put your domain in the filed for &#039;&#039;&#039;Manage your domain&#039;&#039;&#039; enter your domain and the username and password you used when you registered your domain. This can be different from your XMission username/password. If you do not remember your username/password you can contact us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== cp.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://store.xmission.com http://store.xmission.com] then you can visit [http://cp.xmission.com http://cp.xmission.com] Log in with the username and password you created when you registered your domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I renew my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When your domain is up for renewal, OpenSRS, the registrar we resell through, will send a paper invoice to the billing address on the domain. As an additional reminder, XMission will send an email reminder to the account that the domain was registered to. The charge for an extra year will be charged along with your next month of Internet services. If you do not wish to renew, please contact accounting and notify them that you would like the domain to lapse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== WHOIS / Contact Privacy ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain Name WHOIS / Contact privacy hides the identity of a domain registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that registrant&#039;s domain. The  benefit of having WHOIS Privacy is that the registrant&#039;s identity, including address, phone number, and email address, is shielded from spammers, identity thieves, and other undesirables. WHOIS Privacy is handled though the OpenSRS Doman Management Portal([https://manage.opensrs.net https://manage.opensrs.net]). Once logged in, select &#039;&#039;&#039; Domain Extras&#039;&#039;&#039;, then next to &#039;&#039;&#039;Enable WHOIS Privacy&#039;&#039;&#039; click in the circle to enable, and lastly hit &#039;&#039;&#039;save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Contact Privacy is $5.00 per domain yearly and is a non-refundable fee. This fee from XMission is approximately half of what the other common registrar services charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can enable Contact privacy for a domain at any time. If enabled, it expires at the same time as the domain name. If the domain is set to auto-renew, Contact Privacy also auto-renews(and incurs any associated cost) at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone tries to contact an email address associated with a domain that is protected by Contact Privacy, they receive an auto-responded message instructing them to visit contactprivacy.com in order to reach the registrant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Privacy Caveats====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; that some domain extensions have privacy caveats:&lt;br /&gt;
*.at, .co.at, .or.at: Since May 21, 2010, contact data (defined as phone number, fax number, e-mail address) is hidden by the registrar and must be explicitly made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.ca: Since June 10, 2008, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority no longer posts registration details of individuals associated with .ca domains.&lt;br /&gt;
*.de: Owner and technical contact must show their postal addresses. Phone number and e-mail address do not have to be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.nl: Since January 12, 2010, registrant postal addresses are no longer publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;
*.us: In March 2005, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said that owners of .us domains will not have the option of keeping their information private, and that it must be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.uk: Nominet, the guardian of UK domain namespace, provide inclusive domain privacy tools on their extensions (.co.uk, .me.uk etc.), providing that the registrant is not trading from the domain name.&lt;br /&gt;

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Redemption====&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most costly things to happen to a domain is when they go into a redemption. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Redemption is when a domain has gone through a renewal phase without payment, that phase is usually 40 days from the first warning. It will then sit 30 days in a hold state until it is released into the general public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to bring the domain out of redemption the cost is $80 in addition to the domain&#039;s regular one year renewal cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I set my DNS?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you purchased your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and you do not have any hosting services. Additional DNS services will be required to manage your DNS. Primary DNS can be added to your account for $5/mo. That will allow you to manage your DNS, setting up the different components that tell the whole world where to find and send mail to your domain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Legacy Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
*Currently you can call us to make changes to your DNS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Shared Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you currently set up with out Shared Hosting package you can manger your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Adding/Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Cloud Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our Cloud Hosting package you can manage your DNS by Logging into your Control Pannel:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hosting Control Panel/Adding - Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====KVM====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our KVM Hosting package you can mange your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://manage.xmission.com http://manage.xmission.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== cp.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you purchased a domain from [http://store.xmission.com http://store.xmission.com] you can manage your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://cp.xmission.com http://cp.xmission.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer Parked Domains?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain parking refers to the registration of an internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to not do anything with your domain that is ok. When you are ready we offer hosting services that will suit your needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer domain alias or redirect?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Alias allows you to point a domain name to another domain name. (E.g. http://www.mydomain.com would open the same as http://www.my-domain.com) An alias will keep the domain the visitor entered in the address bar of their browser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Redirect will allow you to direct your traffic to another page or another domain. This works well if you are developing a new site or changed your domain name and want to redirect traffic to the new site. A redirect will change the URL after it has been typed in the address bar. &lt;br /&gt;

===How do I transfer my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are transferring a domain to XMission we prefer you use [http://store.xmission.com http://store.xmission.com] and click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Domain Registration&#039;&#039;&#039; then on the following page under &#039;&#039;&#039;Transfer an existing domain&#039;&#039;&#039; you will enter in your domain name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The process for transferring a domain name varies depending on the domain type. Please ensure that the current registrar&#039;s procedures have been followed and they have been authorized by you to approve our transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
Please also make sure that any registry lock has been removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another year will be added to your current time left at your current registrar. (E.g. If you registered for a year with another registrar, and you have six months left, you will still have that six months in addition to yoru new registration duration with XMission.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE: In order to successfully transfer a domain, XMission requires customer to keep their email address current.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a customer decides to transfer a domain, they will receive a series of emails with instructions on the process. However the following challenges often arise:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The email never arrives due to spam filters, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not respond quickly enough to the emails. After 5 days, the customer must start the transfer again. &lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may have the wrong email address associated with the domain.&lt;br /&gt;
* The customer may not have their username/password for the domains management page, which is separate from their XMission account username/password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To successfully transfer a domain, the following conditions must exist:&lt;br /&gt;
* A domain cannot be in a locked or hold status.&lt;br /&gt;
* For the reseller to reseller transfers - or registrar to registrar transfers - the domain must have resided with the losing registrar for more than 60 days since it was first registered or transferred there. &lt;br /&gt;
* Transfers add one year to the domains&#039;s registration; therefore, the gaining reseller must have a sufficient balance for the renewal in order to complete the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
* Domain names that are expired but not deleted (up to 40 days past the expiry date, for most TLDs) can be transferred. &lt;br /&gt;
* The current administrative contact&#039;s email address must be valid, to allow for the confirmation of the transfer request. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; A domains&#039;s name servers cannot be changed during a registrar transfer. The nameservers will remain the same during the transfer, and they can be changed once the domain has reached the receiving registrar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Extra Info&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
Not all registrars handle transfers/renewals or registrations the same as our reseller. Some placed do not want to let domains go, so they drag their feet and make it difficult which can be annoying but there really is nothing we can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I manage my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on what part of our system your domain was registered determines where you can manager your domain.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] then you can go there and put your domain in the filed for &#039;&#039;&#039;Manage your domain&#039;&#039;&#039; enter your domain and the username and password you used when you registered your domain. This can be different from your XMission username/password. If you do not remember your username/password you can contact us. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== cp.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
If you registered your domain from [http://store.xmission.com http://store.xmission.com] then you can visit [http://cp.xmission.com http://cp.xmission.com] Log in with the username and password you created when you registered your domain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===How do I renew my domain?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When your domain is up for renewal, OpenSRS, the registrar we resell through, will send a paper invoice to the billing address on the domain. As an additional reminder, XMission will send an email reminder to the account that the domain was registered to. The charge for an extra year will be charged along with your next month of Internet services. If you do not wish to renew, please contact accounting and notify them that you would like the domain to lapse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== WHOIS / Contact Privacy ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain Name WHOIS / Contact privacy hides the identity of a domain registrant when someone does a WHOIS lookup on that registrant&#039;s domain. The  benefit of having WHOIS Privacy is that the registrant&#039;s identity, including address, phone number, and email address, is shielded from spammers, identity thieves, and other undesirables. WHOIS Privacy is handled though the OpenSRS Doman Management Portal([https://manage.opensrs.net https://manage.opensrs.net]). Once logged in, select &#039;&#039;&#039; Domain Extras&#039;&#039;&#039;, then next to &#039;&#039;&#039;Enable WHOIS Privacy&#039;&#039;&#039; click in the circle to enable, and lastly hit &#039;&#039;&#039;save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; Contact Privacy is $5.00 per domain yearly and is a non-refundable fee. This fee from XMission is approximately half of what the other common registrar services charge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can enable Contact privacy for a domain at any time. If enabled, it expires at the same time as the domain name. If the domain is set to auto-renew, Contact Privacy also auto-renews(and incurs any associated cost) at the same time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone tries to contact an email address associated with a domain that is protected by Contact Privacy, they receive an auto-responded message instructing them to visit contactprivacy.com in order to reach the registrant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Privacy Caveats====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; that some domain extensions have privacy caveats:&lt;br /&gt;
*.at, .co.at, .or.at: Since May 21, 2010, contact data (defined as phone number, fax number, e-mail address) is hidden by the registrar and must be explicitly made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.ca: Since June 10, 2008, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority no longer posts registration details of individuals associated with .ca domains.&lt;br /&gt;
*.de: Owner and technical contact must show their postal addresses. Phone number and e-mail address do not have to be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.nl: Since January 12, 2010, registrant postal addresses are no longer publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;
*.us: In March 2005, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said that owners of .us domains will not have the option of keeping their information private, and that it must be made public.&lt;br /&gt;
*.uk: Nominet, the guardian of UK domain namespace, provide inclusive domain privacy tools on their extensions (.co.uk, .me.uk etc.), providing that the registrant is not trading from the domain name.&lt;br /&gt;
*For more information click the link below:&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_privacy]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Redemption====&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most costly things to happen to a domain is when they go into a redemption. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Redemption is when a domain has gone through a renewal phase without payment, that phase is usually 40 days from the first warning. It will then sit 30 days in a hold state until it is released into the general public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish to bring the domain out of redemption the cost is $80 in addition to the domain&#039;s regular one year renewal cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Where do I set my DNS?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== domains.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you purchased your domain from [http://domains.xmission.com http://domains.xmission.com] and you do not have any hosting services. Additional DNS services will be required to manage your DNS. Primary DNS can be added to your account for $5/mo. That will allow you to manage your DNS, setting up the different components that tell the whole world where to find and send mail to your domain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Legacy Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
*Currently you can call us to make changes to your DNS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Shared Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you currently set up with out Shared Hosting package you can manger your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Adding/Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Cloud Hosting====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our Cloud Hosting package you can manage your DNS by Logging into your Control Pannel:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Hosting Control Panel/Adding - Managing DNS Records]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====KVM====&lt;br /&gt;
If you are currently set up with our KVM Hosting package you can mange your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://manage.xmission.com http://manage.xmission.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== cp.xmission.com ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you purchased a domain from [http://store.xmission.com http://store.xmission.com] you can manage your DNS here:&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://cp.xmission.com http://cp.xmission.com]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer Parked Domains?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domain parking refers to the registration of an internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you choose to not do anything with your domain that is ok. When you are ready we offer hosting services that will suit your needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do you offer domain alias or redirect?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Alias allows you to point a domain name to another domain name. (E.g. http://www.mydomain.com would open the same as http://www.my-domain.com) An alias will keep the domain the visitor entered in the address bar of their browser. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Domain Redirect will allow you to direct your traffic to another page or another domain. This works well if you are developing a new site or changed your domain name and want to redirect traffic to the new site. A redirect will change the URL after it has been typed in the address bar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both of these servers require DNS Services or Hosting to work properly.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== XMission Voice and SIP ALG ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using XMission Voice on a different Internet service or through your own router can create quality issues with your voice services. This is often caused by a software protocol called SIP ALG or SIP HELPER depending on the equipment being used. XMission requires this built-in protocol to be disabled in order to ensure service is properly working. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What is SIP ALG/HELPER? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This protocol assists with rewriting voice traffic to show that it is being NATed. In other words, instead of headers being sent the call is coming from an IP address of:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* 10.x.x.x&lt;br /&gt;
* 192.168.x.x&lt;br /&gt;
* 172.16.x.x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This shows the public IP address when the call is coming from the router&#039;s public IP address (IE: 166.70.x.x)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SIP-ALG-packets.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using the image above, you can see how Internet traffic sends voice calls with and without SIP ALG/HELPER. The highlighted area is where the traffic gets changed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why SIP ALG/HELPER is not needed ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most voice providers (including XMission) have a public switch or server that is a go-between. In other words, the Telephone Adapters (TAs) or IP Phones that are provided by XMission connect to this switch prior to reaching the actual voice system to make and receive phone calls. Because we are configured for this, calls are by default tagged with a public IP address and do not require one from your equipment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== What happens with SIP ALG/HELPER? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having SIP ALG enabled on your equipment can make it so the onsite equipment drops the registered device (TA) during the ringing process of phone calls. When this happens the following could be true:&lt;br /&gt;
* One-way audio: The caller not using XMission Voice can be heard, but the XMission Voice user cannot be heard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Outgoing calls fail: Calls get 404 or dead air when trying to dial out. Most calls don&#039;t even reach call.xmission.com call history.&lt;br /&gt;
* Incoming calls fail to ring: The signal to tell the handset to ring on incoming calls is blocked and callers end up going to voicemail.&lt;br /&gt;
* Device registration fails entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to disable SIP ALG/HELPER? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This protocol is typically found inside the web interface of your personal router/firewall under the advanced settings. It can often be found under: &lt;br /&gt;
* NAT forwarding&lt;br /&gt;
* QoS&lt;br /&gt;
* Security&lt;br /&gt;
* Firewall&lt;br /&gt;
* WAN settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please review the following to disable the protocol:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

== Setting Up Wifi == &lt;br /&gt;
Your XWi Home comes pre installed with a wireless network. The information is listed on the bottom of your router. You may also notice a network starting with &#039;&#039;&#039;CXNK&#039;&#039;&#039; in your wifi list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the XWi Home App you have the ability to create additional networks, rename your networks and update passwords. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First Tap on My Network&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:MyNetwork.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next we will see the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;
|- style=&amp;quot;vertical-align:top;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:WiFiSetup-1.png|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tap on the &#039;&#039;&#039;+&#039;&#039;&#039; in the upper right&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:WiFiSetup-2.png|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Tap on &#039;&#039;&#039;Add Network&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:WiFiSetup-3.png|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Finally choose from one of the following&lt;br /&gt;
** Guest&lt;br /&gt;
** Work From Home&lt;br /&gt;
** Custom&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A Guest Network allows your friends and family temporary access to the Internet. Guest Networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network&lt;br /&gt;
* A Work From Home network allows a limited number of devices that require high-priority access to the Internet. Work From Home networks are isolated and prevent access to any other devices connected to your primary network. &lt;br /&gt;
* A Custom network allows for the most flexible configuration to best fit your Internet access needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will be setting up a Custom Network, however you can follow the steps for any network you choose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Custom&#039;&#039;&#039; when setting up the network and you should see the following: &lt;br /&gt;
{| style=&amp;quot;width: 85%;&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
|- style=&amp;quot;vertical-align:top;&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:WiFiSetup-4.png|400px]]&lt;br /&gt;
| &lt;br /&gt;
In this &#039;&#039;&#039;Add Network&#039;&#039;&#039; page we can setup the following:&lt;br /&gt;
* Network Name: Give your network a name that you can remember and is easy for everyone in your home to understand. &lt;br /&gt;
* Band: Here. you have an option of setting up a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network. We will start by choosing 2.4G, you can repeat these steps to setup a 5GHz network. &lt;br /&gt;
* Security Type: Here are your options&lt;br /&gt;
** None: Not Recommended&lt;br /&gt;
** WPA2-Personal&lt;br /&gt;
** WPA - WPA2-Personal &lt;br /&gt;
** WPA2 - WPA3-Personal&lt;br /&gt;
** WPA3-Personal&lt;br /&gt;
* Password&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;What do these mean?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)&#039;&#039;&#039;: It provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA2-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)&#039;&#039;&#039;: It uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is a password that you set up on your router. Every device that connects to the network needs to use this same password.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA3-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3)&#039;&#039;&#039;: Like WPA2-Personal, it uses a pre-shared key (password) for access. However, it enhances security with a feature called SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which provides better protection against password guessing attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Do I need Isolation turned on?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wi-Fi Isolation is a security feature that prevents devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network from communicating with each other. When enabled, this feature ensures that each device on the Wi-Fi network can only communicate with the router and not with other devices on the same network. This is particularly useful in environments like public Wi-Fi hotspots, where you want to prevent users from accessing or potentially hacking into each other&#039;s devices.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally you are able to share your network across other devices by sharing your Wi-Fi &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:WiFiSetup-5.png|300px]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Once selected a QR code will appear that other can scan. You can also send them a text.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)&#039;&#039;&#039;: It provides stronger data encryption through TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) but is considered outdated and less secure than its successors.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA2-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)&#039;&#039;&#039;: It uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is a password that you set up on your router. Every device that connects to the network needs to use this same password.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;WPA3-Personal (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3)&#039;&#039;&#039;: Like WPA2-Personal, it uses a pre-shared key (password) for access. However, it enhances security with a feature called SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals), which provides better protection against password guessing attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Do I need Isolation turned on?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wi-Fi Isolation is a security feature that prevents devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network from communicating with each other. When enabled, this feature ensures that each device on the Wi-Fi network can only communicate with the router and not with other devices on the same network. This is particularly useful in environments like public Wi-Fi hotspots, where you want to prevent users from accessing or potentially hacking into each other&#039;s devices.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally you are able to share your network across other devices by sharing your Wi-Fi &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Once selected a QR code will appear that other can scan. You can also send them a text.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Remote desktop is a technology that allows you to access and control another computer from a different location, as if you were sitting right in front of it. Imagine being able to use your home computer while you&#039;re at work or helping a friend fix their computer without physically being there. Through an internet connection, you can see the other computer&#039;s screen, move the mouse, type on the keyboard, and even transfer files, making it a convenient tool for remote work, tech support, or accessing files from afar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are many remote desktop applications, including some you may have heard of like TeamViewer and AnyDesk, XMission uses Rustdesk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below you will find instructions on how to install Rustdesk, either on your own as you may want to use it on your own to help troubleshooting your friends or family computer issue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== RustDesk == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Install on Mac == &lt;br /&gt;
Below are the instructions on how to install RustDesk on the latest version of MacOS (Sequoia 15.3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Visit rustdesk.com you will see the &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039; button - click on that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-1.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next you will choose which file to download based on the type of mac that you have either &#039;&#039;&#039;x86-64&#039;&#039;&#039; (Intel Macs) or &#039;&#039;&#039;AArch64&#039;&#039;&#039; (M1 or higher) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-2.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on Download for the version you need.&lt;br /&gt;
* When the dialog box opens, choose your &#039;&#039;&#039;Downloads&#039;&#039;&#039; folder on the left then click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-3.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Now we need to find the file you downloaded. Depending on your browser, click the download history icon and select the folder next to your download to &#039;&#039;&#039;Show in Finder&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-4.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This should open up your finder directly to the downloads folder. When you see the file ie &#039;&#039;&#039;rustdesk-1.3.7-aarch64.dmg&#039;&#039;&#039; you can double click on this file to launch it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-5.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next simply click and drag the RustDesk icon to the Applications folder and let go. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-5.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* NOTE: You may not see anything happen, and that is just fine. Next we will open your Launchpad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-7.png|450px]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Then find RustDesk and click on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-8.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* You will see a dialog box open with the following: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-9.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Simply click on Open&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congratulations we have installed RustDesk. However before we can allow anyone to connect your desktop we have to setup some permissions. Follow the instructions below to get the permissions setup properly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Granting Permissions ===&lt;br /&gt;
On the initial install of RustDesk you will need to provide your computer with permissions to allow the remote desktop to happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After you install RustDesk you may see the following: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rustdesk-10.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Configure&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* A dialog box appears - click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Open System Settings&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-11.png|450px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*This will open your System Preferences. Under &#039;&#039;&#039;Privacy &amp;amp; Security&#039;&#039;&#039; &amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;Screen &amp;amp; System Audio Recording&#039;&#039;&#039; make sure that RustDesk is turned on. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-12.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;
|- style=&amp;quot;vertical-align:top;&amp;quot; |&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:Rd-13.png]] &lt;br /&gt;
| * After you turn this on you may get a dialog box that opens up and asks you to Approve this change. Click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Use Password&#039;&#039;&#039; and enter your computer password. &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;
|- style=&amp;quot;vertical-align:top;&amp;quot; |&lt;br /&gt;
| [[File:Rd-14.png]] &lt;br /&gt;
| * Next another dialog box will appear stating that you will need to &#039;&#039;&#039;Quit &amp;amp; Reopen&#039;&#039;&#039; go ahead and press this button to quit out of RustDesk - then you will need to reopen it. &lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are almost done. Just a couple more steps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next you may see another &#039;&#039;&#039;Permissions&#039;&#039;&#039; in red after relaunching RustDesk: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-15.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on Configure this should open your &#039;&#039;&#039;System Preference&#039;&#039;&#039; once again &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-16.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Be sure to turn on RustDesk under Accessibility. This will again prompt you for your password. Just like before Enter your computer password.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Remote desktop is a technology that allows you to access and control another computer from a different location, as if you were sitting right in front of it. Imagine being able to use your home computer while you&#039;re at work or helping a friend fix their computer without physically being there. Through an internet connection, you can see the other computer&#039;s screen, move the mouse, type on the keyboard, and even transfer files, making it a convenient tool for remote work, tech support, or accessing files from afar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are many remote desktop applications, including some you may have heard of like TeamViewer and AnyDesk, XMission uses Rustdesk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below you will find instructions on how to install Rustdesk, either on your own as you may want to use it on your own to help troubleshooting your friends or family computer issue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Install on Mac == &lt;br /&gt;
Below are the instructions on how to install Rustdesk on the latest version of MacOS (Sequoia 15.3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Visit rustdesk.com you will see the &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039; button - click on that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-1.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next you will choose which file to download based on the type of mac that you have either &#039;&#039;&#039;x86-64&#039;&#039;&#039; (Intel Macs) or &#039;&#039;&#039;AArch64&#039;&#039;&#039; (M1 or higher) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-2.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on Download for the version you need.&lt;br /&gt;
* When the dialog box opens, choose your &#039;&#039;&#039;Downloads&#039;&#039;&#039; folder on the left then click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Save&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-3.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Now we need to find the file you downloaded. Depending on your browser, click the download history icon and select the folder next to your download to &#039;&#039;&#039;Show in Finder&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-4.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* This should open up your finder directly to the downloads folder. When you see the file ie &#039;&#039;&#039;rustdesk-1.3.7-aarch64.dmg&#039;&#039;&#039; you can double click on this file to launch it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-5.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next simply click and drag the Rustdesk icon to the Applications folder and let go. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-5.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
* NOTE: You may not see anything happen, and that is just fine. Next we will open your Launchpad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rd-7.png|450px]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Then find Rustdesk and click on it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Plesk Shared Hosting: Securing Your Sites=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The section below would be for advanced users. If you have questions on how to secure your site or purchase an SSL certification you can contact our billing department Monday - Friday from 9am - 5pm. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Creating CSR ==&lt;br /&gt;
SSL certificates secure transfer of sensitive data from visitors to your website, and also verify the site identity. Below you can find two lists of SSL certificates. The first one showing certificates that you use for securing your websites and the other one showing certificates that you purchased.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* From side panel click on &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Websites and Domains&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Plesk_tabs_new.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the domain you wish to use your SSL Certificate on. &lt;br /&gt;
* Next choose &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SSL/TLS Certificates&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; under &#039;&#039;&#039;Security&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PleskSSL-1.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* To manage or add a CSR choose &#039;&#039;&#039; Download or remove existing certificates&#039;&#039;&#039; - &#039;&#039;&#039;Manage&#039;&#039;&#039; towards the bottom of the page.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PleskSSL-2.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next choose &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Add SSL Certificate&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SharedHosting-SSL-02.png|600xpx]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Next fill in the form to generate a CSR then click &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Request&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SharedHosting-SSL-03.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Certificate Name&#039;&#039;&#039;: This will help you identify this certificate in the repository.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Country&#039;&#039;&#039;: This is defaulted to United States.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;State or province&#039;&#039;&#039;: The state in which your company resides.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Location(city)&#039;&#039;&#039;: The city in which your company resides.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Organization Name&#039;&#039;&#039;: This can be your company name.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Organization Department&#039;&#039;&#039;: Website, IT or variations, should not exceed 64 characters.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Domain name&#039;&#039;&#039;: The domain name you are looking to secure, ideally listed as the [https://www.cloudns.net/blog/fqdn-fully-qualified-domain-name/ Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)]. Example: your-domain.com or www.your-domain.com.&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;&#039;Email&#039;&#039;&#039;: The website administrator&#039;s email address.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE:&#039;&#039;&#039; when ordering an SSL Certificate the validation email must match your domain with the following conditions:&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;admin&#039;&#039;&#039;@&amp;lt;domain.tld&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;administrator&#039;&#039;&#039;@&amp;lt;domain.tld&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;hostmaster&#039;&#039;&#039;@&amp;lt;domain.tld&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;webmaster&#039;&#039;&#039;@&amp;lt;domain.tld&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:: &#039;&#039;&#039;postmaster&#039;&#039;&#039;@&amp;lt;domain.tld&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* After you fill out the above form it will generate a &#039;&#039;&#039;CSR&#039;&#039;&#039; this is what you need to purchase a SSL Certificate.&lt;br /&gt;
* Confirmation that your CSR was created:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SharedHosting-SSL-04.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Viewing your CSR ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the Certificate name to view your CSR.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PleskSSL-3.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Locate the CSR section on the page, and copy the text that starts with the line -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- and ends with the line -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- to the clipboard. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SharedHosting-SSL-06.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Installing SSL Certificate ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you ordered your SSL Cert with XMission, you will receive an email to approve the creation of the certificate. Once you approve the process, another email will be sent to you with your Certificate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* An example email should look like:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:XMission_SSL_Email.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Log in to your [https://hosting.xmission.com Control Panel].&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the domain you wish to secure.&lt;br /&gt;
* Choose &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;SSL/TLS Certificates&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; under &#039;&#039;&#039;Security&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on &#039;&#039;&#039;Download or remove existing certificates - Manage&#039;&#039;&#039; towards the bottom of the page.&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the certificate you created&lt;br /&gt;
* Your Certificate Completed Email should contain a Certificate and Intermediate Chain (CA Chain). You will need to copy the Certificate and Chain from the email you received past it in the provided boxes. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SSL_Email_Cert.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;* Be sure to include the &amp;quot;-----Begin Certificate-----&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;-----End Certificate-----&amp;quot; Be careful of having extras spaces or extra lines when copying them in. They can cause errors messages when you attempt to save.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SharedHosting-SSL-07.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Assign your SSL Certificate ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Now you need to assign the certificate to your site. &lt;br /&gt;
* From the side menu bar choose &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Websites and Domains&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the domain you added the SSL Cert to&lt;br /&gt;
* Choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Hosting &amp;amp; DNS&#039;&#039;&#039; then choose  &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hosting Settings&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PleskSSL-4.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Then check the box for SSL Support and select your certificate.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PleskSSL-5.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;

Check out our latest blog post on how to conduct a proper speedtest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://xmission.com/blog/2025/01/21/xmission-labs-speed-test-lab XMission Labs - Speed Test]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speed test websites/servers allow users to test the speed between their device and a server using the server&#039;s Internet connection. Running speed tests are a great way to determine if you have a connectivity issue, however, there are a number of factors that can dramatically affect the results of your tests. We hope that after reviewing this help page you&#039;ll have a good understanding of how speed tests work, what to expect, and how to read them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before we get started, XMission has an app for mobile devices that allows you to troubleshoot your network and to work directly with our support team as needed. This app assists with wireless performance tuning, network congestion, caching and streaming issues, and much more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please visit: [[XMission_App | XMission app]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= What is a speed test =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An Internet speed test will give you a basic idea of how fast your connection is &#039;&#039;&#039;right now&#039;&#039;&#039;. Running a speed test will often measure your &#039;&#039;ping&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;download speed&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;upload speed,&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;jitter&#039;&#039; between the current device you are testing on and its connection. Speed test results are not the speed of your overall network, just the current device. Speed test services use your web browser or an app to send data back and forth during a specific amount of time. The data that is sent gets measured and will produce a visual result letting you know how your device registers. Please use multiple devices and multiple browsers when diagnosing if you have an issue with your XMission connection or your in-home network. It is also important to know that most ISPs do not guarantee advertised speeds on Wireless (WiFi). Please run your tests on devices that can be connected to your Internet connection with a Ethernet cable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= What does the test do? =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:XMspeedtest.png|600px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ping ===&lt;br /&gt;
Most services will run a ping test, this is a method of checking the network response on your device. This helps determine if there is any [[#Latency | latency]] or delay between your device and the network. It will be common to see a high number on wireless connections over wired connections. Wireless connections are more prone to radio interference that can cause dropped packets and have slow response times to the host server being pinged. &lt;br /&gt;
:* Most ping tests will be reported in &amp;quot;ms&amp;quot; (milliseconds). &lt;br /&gt;
:* Results can vary depending on the host location.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Local and west coast hosts that return with less than 20ms are optimal, however results between 20 and 60ms are acceptable. &lt;br /&gt;
::* East coast hosts that return with less than 40ms are optimal, however results between 60 and 80ms are acceptable. &lt;br /&gt;
:* If results to &#039;&#039;&#039;US hosts&#039;&#039;&#039; are over 120ms this most likely means there is an issue with the host, connection, or device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Jitter ===&lt;br /&gt;
A jitter test will typically test the consistency of your line. This is used to measure the transmission rate of your data and to determine if there are any errors during that transmission. Most jitter tests will be reported in &amp;quot;ms&amp;quot; (milliseconds). Results less than 30ms would be considered optimal. If results are over 30ms there could be an issue with the host, connection, or device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Download Speed ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the speed data that is typically transmitted between a host server and your device. Most services report this speed in Mbps(Megabits per second) and perform a &amp;quot;multi connection&amp;quot; test. This would be the equivalent of taking multiple devices and running separate tests at one time. Services do this in an attempt to max out your connection and see how much data you can transmit simultaneously to each other. Results will very from test to test and device to device depending on the usage of the device, network, and host. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Upload Speed ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the speed at which data is typically transmitted between a device and a host server. Upload is generally used when sending emails, posting to a social media site, or attaching an image to a form. Upload speeds are heavily affected by antivirus software on devices as they typically scan the test packets before those packets leave the device. We typically recommend temporarily disabling any security software before completing tests on your upload. Results will very from test to test and device to device depending on the usage of the device, network, and host.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Additional tests ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A speed test it is also recommended for computers on your in-home network. These tests help us determine where an issue might be and how to quickly resolve these issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Firewall information: You may have a firewall, antivirus, or parental controls on your in-home network. These can be hardware or software installed on your router or computer. Speed tests may timeout or fail to produce accurate numbers if these are enabled. We recommend that you connect your device directly to the UTOPIA access portal and bypass your router.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Latency ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We often test how long it takes for a packet to make a round trip from your selected computer to a host. This test has to be done in a command prompt window. For Windows users,  press the Windows Key + C and type CMD. For MacOS/Linux open a terminal. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you open your command prompt you will enter the command &#039;&#039;&#039;ping &amp;lt;server&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;ip address&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
$ping google.com&lt;br /&gt;
PING google.com (173.194.33.101) 56(84) bytes of data.&lt;br /&gt;
64 bytes from sea09s16-in-f5.1e100.net (173.194.33.101): icmp_req=1 ttl=59 time=17.3 ms&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The information we are looking for is the &amp;quot;icmp time= xx.x ms&amp;quot; In our example above you will see that it took 17.3ms for the packet to go out and come back. Results less than 20ms are considered excellent and between results between 20ms and 60ms are optimal. If results are over 100ms, there could be an issue with the selected host or device. High latency is often caused by heavy Internet traffic, congested/overloaded routers, or network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Packet Loss ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Packet loss is when packets of data get dropped or lost during transmission from your device to the host. This can cause issues with certain online activities like XBOX, live streaming, gaming, or video calls. Often packet loss is caused by out-of-date hardware/software, old or damaged cables, radio interference, and network utilization. Depending on the type of Internet activity, 1–2.5% packet loss is acceptable, however at XMission we strive for zero. Results will very depending on the utilization of your in-home network and home Internet use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After cancelling the ping test from above you should see something similar to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
46 packets transmitted, 45 packets received, 2.2% packet loss&lt;br /&gt;
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 8.977/10.551/15.969/1.442 ms&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We sent 46 packets and one packet was lost giving a 2.2% packet loss. This would be in the acceptable range&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Why are my download speeds different than what I pay for? =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please be aware that Internet speeds are limited on wireless networking. If you are doing tests on a wireless connection, your results will vary and my not be accurate. XMission strives to provide the fastest connection we can over a wired connection and cannot guarantee these speeds over wireless connections. When possible, connect your device to your router using a Cat5e Ethernet cable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supported speeds are also dependent on the router and device hardware. Not all devices support Internet over 100Mpbs and most wireless devices don&#039;t support Internet over 300Mbps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is a chat that will show you the various versions and generations of Wireless Technology and what speeds you should expect to see over your Internet connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Common Networking Hardware ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Network Interface Cards (NIC) have different speed capabilities and will only connect at specific speeds. Depending on your device you may have an Ethernet NIC and a wireless NIC that support different speeds. It is important to verify what kind of hardware your device has when determining if you are not getting your advertised speeds.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Common Ethernet NIC are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* 10/100Mbps&lt;br /&gt;
:* 10/100/1000Mbps&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Common wireless NIC are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11b&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11g&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11n&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100/1000 (5GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11n&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11a&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100/1000 (5GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11a&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11ac&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100/1000 (5GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11ac&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100 (2.4GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11ax&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;10/100/1000 (5GHz)&#039;&#039;&#039; 802.11ax&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Common Networking Cable ===&lt;br /&gt;
Networking cables or Ethernet cables have different categories and support. You may have hardware that supports high speeds, but your cabling does not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Cable Categories&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cat-5&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(100Base-T connections)&#039;&#039; will support speeds up to 100Mbps&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cat-5e&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(100Base-T/1000Base-T+)&#039;&#039; will support speeds up to 1000Mbps&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cat-6&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(1000Base-EIA)&#039;&#039; Will support speeds up to 10Gbps&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cat-6a&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(EIA-568)&#039;&#039; Will support speeds up to 10Gbps (Replaced Cat-6 in 2008)&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cat-7&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(Class F)&#039;&#039; Not recommended for speeds less than 2Gbps, recommended for outdoor wiring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Common Wireless Speeds ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on the generation of your wireless NIC you may see limited Internet speeds. This is a limitation of hardware and radio frequency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Common Wireless Speeds are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;2.4GHz&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(802.11b - 802.11a)&#039;&#039; typically only supports wireless speeds of 10-75Mbps.&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;2.4GHz&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(802.11ac - 802.11ax)&#039;&#039; typically only supports wireless speeds of 75-125Mbps.&lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;5GHz&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;(802.11n and 802.11a)&#039;&#039; typically supports wireless speeds of 10-300Mbps. &lt;br /&gt;
:* &#039;&#039;&#039;5GHz&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;(802.11ac and 802.11ax)&#039;&#039; typically supports wireless speeds of 10-600Mbps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=  What can affect my speeds? =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Computer Software ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Viruses/spyware/adware—Any form of infection on your PC can seriously slow down your connection. Make sure you are using the latest updates for any virus removal software (Norton, McAfee, AVG) and malware software (Malwarebytes) and run a scan at least once a week. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.) have different capabilities and may provide different results, particularly on high-speed connections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Browser Extensions—Ad Blockers, Honey discount offers, and Emoticons (add-on toolbars) will often slow and interrupt Internet speeds. This is because they scan website traffic before and during the rendering of your webpage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== In-home Networking ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Number of connections in your home—You may have a wireless router that connects multiple devices. Most people have at least multiple cell phones, laptops, TVs, or smart home devices that connect at the same time. If any of those devices are on and streaming music, Netflix, Youtube, or any other multimedia site, this can impact your speeds. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Quality of cables/router—If you just upgraded your speed from a 10Mb connection to a 250Mb connection, your old router or Ethernet cables may not handle the higher speeds. It is recommended that you upgrade the Ethernet cables first then upgrade your router to make sure your router can handle the higher speeds. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mother Nature === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather conditions—Heavy rain and extreme weather conditions can affect your speed and your connection. (Arial fiber locations only)&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
* Disconnections—If you experience a power outage, there is a chance your router did not power cycle properly. If you do not have your router connected to a UPS, you will need to unplug the power for at least 30 to 60 seconds to properly shut down and allow it to correctly come back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Time of day—While XMission has plenty of bandwidth to handle the backbone traffic, the Internet is used by more people during &#039;peak&#039; hours of 6pm to 11pm creating a &amp;quot;rush hour&amp;quot;. Think of it as the city rush hour and traveling to a specific destination. You are driving the highway at typical speeds of 65 MPH. You come up to your exit (Netflix, Zoom, YouTube, etc) at the same time as everyone is starting to get off work. This causes the right hand lane and ramp to slow down and back up. Thus making it so you are not able to complete your travel to the destination at regular speeds, while the highway(XMission) is still traveling at 65MPH.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Testing Location ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Website capacity—If you are going to a popular website where a lot of people are also visiting there is a chance that the website may perform poorly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most speed test websites use an application to run the speed test like Flash or Java. This will cause a potential protocol overhead, buffering due to may layers between the application, and the raw data transfer and throughput bursting due primarily to CPU usage. All of this is something called &#039;&#039;&#039;overhead&#039;&#039;&#039; and will result in your speeds being lower than what you actually pay for. As a result, you will never see 100Mb speeds if you have a 100Mb connection. However, you should see speeds in the range of 75 to 90Mbps if your devices are plugged directly into your router. If you are using wireless you will see much slower speeds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Isn&#039;t fiber dedicated? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your XMission/UTOPIA connection is a dedicated line from us to you. However, that doesn&#039;t give you a dedicated connection to hosts that are not with XMission. During peak hours host providers are still seeing the same amount of load causing the response to your home to slow down. An example of this would be getting system updates. Most developers will release software updates that can be anywhere from 50Mb to 5Gb or larger. The server where these updates are posted can only support bandwidth at 100Mbps. If you have 50 people attempting to download that update all at the same time, you&#039;d each share 100Mbps bandwidth causing the connection to slow down. If you attempted to download that update at the same time as five other people, your download will go much faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Where can I test? =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* It is not recommended to use the speed test function built into the router interface. This speed test function does not test a server within the northern region of Utah and will often produce slower results. &lt;br /&gt;
* For Window 10 and Mac users we strongly suggest installing the [https://www.speedtest.net/apps Ookla App] to get the most accurate results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can test your speeds at:&lt;br /&gt;
:*[http://speedtest.xmission.com speedtest XMission]&lt;br /&gt;
:*[http://speedtest.net Ookla speedtest.net]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please be aware that not all speed test servers are high-speed ready and may be capped at lower speeds than XMission or UTOPIA provide. For example, if you Google speed test you&#039;ll be given an option to run a speed test from the search results. This test has a disclaimer advising: &amp;quot;To run the test, you&#039;ll be connected to Measurement Lab (M-Lab).&amp;quot; This is advising you will be testing on a server that is located on the west or east coast. These tests have to travel further away causing results to be lower than you are actually getting. &lt;br /&gt;
