Troubleshooting M1 Issues
Common M1 connection problems and how to fix them.
Fiber broadband speed is much slower than the 3 Gbps or 10 Gbps plan maximum
Cause: WiFi bottleneck, outdated router, or devices that do not support WiFi 7 or ethernet speeds above 1 Gbps.
- Connect via ethernet cable to rule out WiFi as the issue
- Use a Cat 6a or Cat 7 ethernet cable for speeds above 1 Gbps
- Verify your router supports WiFi 7 or multi-gig ethernet
- Check if your device network adapter supports speeds above 1 Gbps
- Run a speed test at different times to check for congestion patterns
5G speeds are slower than expected, closer to 4G performance
Cause: Connected to a congested 5G tower, non-standalone 5G, or device limitations.
- Ensure your phone supports 5G Standalone. Not all 5G phones do
- Move to a different location to connect to a less congested tower
- Toggle airplane mode on and off to force reconnection
- Check the M1 network status page for maintenance in your area
- Contact M1 support if 5G speeds consistently stay below 50 Mbps
