Please read the following and go through at least the steps 1-3 before contacting the Trinet administrators.
- Check your IP settings. You should always use automatic IP address configuration.
- IPv4: DHCP
- IPv6: Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC) or DHCPv6
- If you use a router with wireless connection, please check the following from your host or with a WiFi analyser (for example a phone app):
- Your host uses 5 GHz radio. Usually there is less noise on 5 GHz frequency band and more channels available.
- Your router does not use same channels as the closest neighbours' access ports (ie. strongest signals received). If it's the case, please consider changing channels in your router.
- If your router supports only 2,4 GHz frequency band, it might be impossible to avoid overlapping channels. A router with 5 GHz support should be considered. Some guidelines for routers are in our equipment page.
- Test with another Ethernet cable (loan a cable from your flatmate)
- Plug your computer into your flatmate's Ethernet socket for testing
- Plug your flatmate's computer into your Ethernet socket for testing
- Important in case of degraded performance or high latency problems to rule out device related issues
- If it's a device related issue, please try to disable temporarily all 3rd party antivirus and/or firewall software and test again. Some antivirus software causing problems are reported in the software page.
- Contact the network administrators
- By using the network problem notification form
- By email <verkko@ayy.fi>
- By phone contact information
- Include the following information into your problem report:
- Your name (required)
- Your full street address including the room number (required)
- Your phone number (required)
- The wall ethernet socket number or label (highly appreciated, if such exists)
- Your computer or router MAC address, whichever is connected into the wall ethernet socket (highly appreciated)
- Include logs from your router if using such (highly appreciated)
- Include outputs from the following commands into your problem report: (highly appreciated)
