Frequently Asked Questions

No connection - System with STEL antenna

If you experience a lack of connection, you can perform the following tests to understand the cause:

First step: Check if the antenna power supply is connected correctly.

Below are images of the antenna power supplies most commonly used by STEL. Once you've identified your power supply, click on it and check whether your system is connected in the same way. If not, connect it correctly and try connecting again after a few minutes.

POE MKT old model POE MKT 100M POE MKT 1G
POE UBNT POE CMB POE F300

If your system does not have any of the power supplies shown above, it may be a non-standard system, in which case we ask you to contact technical support.

Second ride: Check that the router is turned on. Make sure its power supply is plugged in and the Ethernet cable from the antenna power supply is properly connected and inserted into the network port. (If the router was supplied by STEL, if it's a Mikrotik brand, the cable should usually be plugged into the last network port, while if it's a TP-Link brand, the cable should be plugged into the WAN port.)

Do not press the RESET button on routers supplied by STEL.

Third step: Try unplugging the antenna power supply and the router power supply from the electrical outlet for about 15/20 minutes and once reconnected, wait a few minutes and then try connecting again.

If the problem persists after following all the steps above, please contact technical support.

No connection - System with copper or fiber cable

In this case, please contact technical support as there could be multiple causes.

Speed problems

If you encounter speed problems, you can perform the following tests to understand the cause:

  • If you encounter problems on a single device, check whether it also detects problems on other devices connected to the network to rule out a general problem.
    Check if one or more of your network-connected devices are already using most of the available connection, which could be the cause of the slowdown. For example, you may be having trouble viewing a video on a phone or playing online on a console because two TVs are already connected to the network, both streaming video, and therefore not having enough available bandwidth.
  • If you experience a general problem, try disconnecting all your devices connected to the network, connecting a single PC via cable to the router provided by STEL and running a test on the following website: www.speedtest.net/it to check the maximum speed achievable at that time.

If you do not have a router supplied by STEL or you do not have a PC that can be connected via cable, try performing the test with a device connected via Wi-Fi.

If you continue to encounter problems, please contact technical support.
