No connection (general checklist)

A quick run-through to get any terminal back online.

1. Is the internet up?

Check a website loads on your phone over the same connection. No internet means it's your broadband or signal, not the terminal.

2. Check cables and signal

Reseat the network cable on a countertop terminal, or move a portable one nearer the router for stronger Wi-Fi.

3. Power-cycle the terminal

Restart it (hold yellow and full-stop), and if it helps, restart your router too. Leave both a minute to reconnect.

4. Check your failover

If you have an M2M or 4G failover router from us, payments should ride through a broadband outage — a red light on it means it needs a power-cycle.

5. Call us
