How to Connect Devices to Your Wireless Network

Your Frontier wireless home network allows you to connect your smartphone, tablet, e-reader, or other connected device anywhere in the house. The exact instructions for searching and connecting to a wireless signal depend on your specific hardware. For most of your devices, you’ll start out by defining settings and Wi-Fi settings. Check out this short video to see what logging in on popular devices looks like.

Choose your Frontier home network from the list of available wireless networks. Then enter the network password. If you have not changed your home network name or password, you will find both printed on a sticker on the Frontier router.

Understand what equipment you have: Frontier equipment includes a high-speed Internet modem and a wireless router. All of your wireless devices (smartphones, computers, tablets, watches, and any smart home device) will access the internet through your router / modem.

Avoid signal interference – Wireless signals travel through the air. Don’t let anything get in your way.
Building construction: Internet reception varies throughout the house. The wireless signal may drop if your home has metal nails or wire mesh drywall inside. Place your router off the ground, as high as possible and close to the center of your home.
