Fiber Internet
With Kanokla Fiber, you’ll typically have two main pieces of equipment:
ONT (Optical Network Terminal): This device connects your home to Kanokla’s fiber network and converts the fiber signal into one your router can use. It may be mounted in an outdoor enclosure or placed inside your home near your router.
Kanokla Router: This delivers your Wi-Fi throughout your home and can be managed using the Kanokla Mobile App for easy control of devices, settings, and security.
Wireless Internet
With Kanokla Wireless, your setup includes:
Antenna: A dish installed outside your home in the best location for a clear line of sight to our tower. This is essential for a strong and stable connection.
Network Cabling: A cable runs from the outdoor antenna into your home and connects to the PoE device.
Power over Ethernet (PoE): This device powers the antenna and has a labeled LAN port that connects to your router.
Router: Your router is then set up to provide Wi-Fi inside your home, giving you full access to your home network.
Both setups are designed to deliver fast, reliable internet throughout your home.
For questions about your equipment, call 1-800-526-6552.If you’re using a Kanokla router, the easiest way to change your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password is through the Kanokla Mobile App.
Just open the app and follow this path:My Network → Networks → select your Wi-Fi network → Edit (top right corner)
From there, you can update your network name and password. After saving, your devices will need to reconnect using the new information.
If you need assistance, call 1-800-526-6552.
Yes, you can use your own router — but we highly recommend using the free Kanokla router for the best experience.
Kanokla’s router is part of our Managed Network Service, which means:
-
Automatic security and performance updates to keep your network running smoothly.
-
Remote troubleshooting, allowing our team to resolve issues quickly. Third-party routers limit what we can see and support.
-
Free replacement if the router is ever damaged by storms, power surges, or normal failure.
-
Built-in tools like ProtectIQ and ExperienceIQ when using the Kanokla Wi-Fi App.
While your own store-bought router will work, it may reduce performance, limit support, and prevent us from managing your network effectively.
For the best performance, security, and customer support, we recommend using the Kanokla router.
If you have questions, call 1-800-526-6552.-
Speed Tests & Network Performance
To run a speed test in the Kanokla Wi-Fi App, open the app and follow this path:
My Network → Bandwidth Test → Run Test
This test measures the speed coming directly from Kanokla’s network to your router, giving you the most accurate picture of the service you’re receiving.How this differs from website or phone speed tests:
Tests run on websites or apps measure your speed across the wider internet, which means results can vary based on internet traffic, the remote server you’re testing against, or congestion outside of Kanokla’s network. Running a speed test on your phone can also be affected by your device’s Wi-Fi signal strength.In short:
-
Kanokla App Test: Measures speed from Kanokla to your router — most accurate.
-
Website/Phone Test: Measures speed across the broader internet — more variables, less precise.
If you need help, call 1-800-526-6552.
-
Your speed test results may be lower than your plan speed because your internet is shared by every device in your home. If anything is streaming, gaming, backing up files, or running video calls during the test, those activities use bandwidth and reduce the speed available to the device you’re testing on.
Other factors can also lower your results:
-
Distance from the router or weak Wi-Fi signal
-
Walls or interference in your home
-
The age or performance limits of the device you’re testing on
Remember, your plan speed is the maximum available to your home, not necessarily the speed each device will see at all times. For the most accurate results, run a speed test through the Kanokla Wi-Fi App or use a wired connection.
-
A wired speed test connects your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. This gives you the most accurate measurement of your internet plan speed because there’s no interference, signal loss, or competition from other Wi-Fi devices.
A wireless speed test measures your connection over Wi-Fi, which can show lower speeds. Wi-Fi is affected by distance from the router, walls or obstacles, and other devices using the network at the same time.
If you want to see the maximum speed your plan provides, run a wired test.
If you want to understand your everyday Wi-Fi experience, a wireless test is useful.Change the text and add your own content, including any information that is relevant to share.
The speed you experience can vary depending on how your device is connected. A wired (Ethernet) connection provides the most accurate and fastest speeds since your device is directly connected to the router. Newer Wi-Fi devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets can reach speeds close to your plan, but distance, walls, and interference may cause slight drops. Older devices may show slower speeds because they aren’t built to handle today’s faster internet, even though your connection is capable of more.
Change the text and add your own content, including any information that is relevant to share. Then customize the font, size and scale to make it your own.
Several everyday factors can affect the speed you experience at home. The more devices connected, the more your bandwidth is shared. Wi-Fi speeds naturally drop the farther you are from your router, and walls, floors, or appliances can weaken the signal. Older devices may not support today’s faster speeds, and background activity like streaming, gaming, or large downloads can slow things down. For the best experience, keep your router in a central, open location. If you have weak spots, Kanokla’s Indoor Mesh units can extend coverage and help keep your speeds strong throughout your home.
You can easily check for network usage or congestion using the Kanokla Wi-Fi App. Simply open the app and go to My Network → Usage to see a list of connected devices and how much bandwidth each one is using. You can also tap on any device to view a simple visual graph of its usage over time, making it easy to spot which devices or activities may be slowing down your network.
Basic Troubleshooting
Start by checking your router to make sure it’s plugged in and powered on. A quick restart of both your router and device can often fix the issue. Next, check the indicator lights—on a Kanokla router, a solid green internet light means your connection is active, while a red light means it’s not receiving a signal. Make sure all cables are securely connected, then test multiple devices to see if the problem is isolated or affecting your whole home. If you’ve tried these steps and still don’t have internet, contact Kanokla support at 1-800-526-6552.
There are two easy ways to restart your router. You can use the Kanokla Wi-Fi App by going to My Network → Equipment, selecting your router, and tapping Reboot. Or, you can power cycle it by unplugging it from the outlet, waiting about 20 seconds, and plugging it back in. This refreshes the connection and often resolves common issues. If problems continue, please call us at 1-800-526-6552.
Weak Wi-Fi is often caused by distance from your router, walls, or other obstacles blocking the signal. Start by moving your router to a more central, open location in your home. If you still have dead spots, Kanokla offers indoor mesh Wi-Fi units that work with your main router to extend coverage. Placing mesh units in weak areas can significantly improve your signal and provide a stronger, more reliable connection throughout your home. For help adding mesh to your network, please call us at 1-800-526-6552.
Frequent buffering or disconnects can happen if your Wi-Fi signal is weak, too many devices are connected at once, or your household is maxing out your current internet plan. In some cases, upgrading to a faster plan for a small additional cost can provide the extra bandwidth needed for smooth streaming, gaming, and video calls. If this continues, please call us at 1-800-526-6552 so we can review your setup.
If your device won’t stay connected to Wi-Fi, it can usually be fixed with a few quick steps. Start by restarting your device to clear temporary glitches. Next, check your Wi-Fi signal—weak signals caused by distance, walls, or interference can lead to disconnects, so make sure your router is in a central, open location. You can also try forgetting and reconnecting to your network. On iPhone, go to Settings → Wi-Fi → (tap the ⓘ next to your network) → Forget This Network, then reconnect. On Android, go to Settings → Network & Internet (or Connections) → Wi-Fi → (tap the gear icon next to your network) → Forget, then reconnect. If you’re still having trouble, give us a call at 1-800-526-6552 and we’ll be happy to help.
Router lights help show the status of your service. The power light should be solid green, which means the router is powered on and functioning normally. If it’s off, the router isn’t receiving power, so check the power cord and outlet. The internet light should also be solid green when your connection is active, while a red light means the router isn’t receiving a signal. The Wi-Fi light will blink during wireless activity. For best results, we recommend using a simple guide with labeled images of Kanokla router models to identify each light. If you’re unsure what your lights mean, please call us at 1-800-526-6552.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band travels farther and can pass through walls, floors, and other obstacles more easily, making it ideal for devices that are farther from your router or in another room. However, because many devices use this band, it can become crowded and may slow down your connection. The 5 GHz band is faster and experiences less interference, making it great for streaming HD video, online gaming, and video calls, but it works best at shorter distances and may not travel as well through walls. Using the right band for each device helps keep your Wi-Fi fast and reliable throughout your home. If you’d like help optimizing your network, please call us at 1-800-526-6552.

With Kanokla’s fiber network, your internet speed does not drop during busy hours — it stays consistent no matter the time of day. If you notice slowdowns on fiber, the cause is usually Wi-Fi coverage inside your home. Wi-Fi signals can be weakened by walls, distance from the router, or interference from other electronics. Adding Kanokla mesh units can help boost your signal and keep speeds steady in every room. For customers using Kanokla’s fixed wireless service, speeds can sometimes vary during peak hours because wireless signals are shared across multiple users. We continuously manage our network to minimize these effects and deliver the best performance possible.
Absolutely! Kanokla’s fiber network and Calix routers are designed for high-bandwidth use like streaming movies, online gaming, and video calls. For the best experience, connect your gaming console or streaming device directly with Ethernet, or use mesh Wi-Fi for whole-home coverage.
Latency is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to the internet and back. Low latency means less delay. For gamers and video calls, low latency is critical , it ensures smoother gameplay, fewer lags, and clear conversations. Fiber internet naturally provides lower latency than satellite or DSL.
Download speed is how quickly you receive data like streaming a show, loading a webpage, or downloading files, while upload speed is how quickly you send data like video calls, posting photos, or sending email attachments. With Kanokla’s fiber internet, both are fast and reliable so you get smooth experiences whether you’re streaming, gaming, or working from home.
With Kanokla’s Managed Network service, you already have multiple layers of protection. You can keep your network secure by using strong, unique Wi-Fi passwords, enabling ProtectIQ in your Kanokla Wi-Fi App for automatic threat blocking, letting Kanokla handle router firmware updates, and creating a separate guest network for visitors so your main devices stay private.
Device-Specific Help
Most devices will ask you to choose a Wi-Fi network during setup. Simply select your home Wi-Fi name (SSID) from the list, enter your password, and you’ll be connected. If you’ve forgotten your Wi-Fi name or password, you can find it anytime in the Kanokla Wi-Fi App under My Network.
Buffering usually happens when the Wi-Fi signal is weak or too many devices are streaming at once. Try moving closer to your router, or use a wired Ethernet connection for the best results. If the problem continues, adding a Kanokla mesh unit through the Kanokla Wi-Fi App can extend coverage and eliminate dead spots.
Many smart home devices work only on a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal. If they disconnect often, make sure you’re connecting them to the right frequency in your Kanokla Wi-Fi App. You may also need to keep the device within range of your router or mesh unit so it has a strong, stable signal.
Kanokla offers home phone service over your fiber connection. When we install your service, we’ll connect your existing phones into the router or a wall jack so all your home phones work just like they always have. If you’re adding phone service later, just call Kanokla and we’ll schedule a quick setup for you.
