Can aluminum siding or a metal roof prevent me from getting service via a router inside my house?

In short, yes. Metal can cause the signal to bounce, preventing you from getting a reliable signal. To help prevent or counter this issue, please place the router in a window or arrange for an external antenna to be installed.

How many devices can I use at once?

You can connect multiple devices to your Limitless Mobile Home Internet router.

Can I access the Internet from anywhere?

No, Limitless Mobile Home Internet is a fixed point-to-point wireless Internet solution, meaning the connection runs from our tower to your house. It is not a mobile broadband solution. Within your residence or business, you can use a wireless access point to create WiFi in the building.

Is this satellite internet?

No, Limitless Mobile Home Internet is delivered using ground-based transmitters.

Does the signal from the tower determine my speed?

Yes and no. There is a minimum signal strength required from the tower for you to receive a given speed. Once that strength is achieved, factors other than signal strength can limit your speed.

Does Limitless Mobile offer Voice over IP (VoIP) phone service?

Not currently. We are looking to offer VoIP service for homes and businesses in the future. Limitless Mobile modems come equipped with built-in VoIP capabilities.

Will television be available through Limitless Mobile?

Limitless Mobile sells use of data. You may use that data in any way that you would normally use the internet, such as to visit websites, video chat, watch YouTube or make calls with third-party VoIP services like Skype or Google Voice. Television service in the traditional sense, where you subscribe to a package of channels and have a set-top box on your television, is not available through Limitless Mobile.

How large is this home router?

Our router itself is about 7” x 5” x 1” — additionally, you’ll need two small antennas that affix to the back.

Where is the most ideal location for the router?

Ideally you want to put the router on the highest floor of your home, in a window facing the tower. If you don’t know what the closest tower is to your home, a Limitless Mobile Customer Care representative can help you.

What is not an ideal location for the router?

Please avoid putting your router in a basement. The signal can have issues penetrating through the earth and foundation, causing unreliable signal and, therefore, unreliable service.

If your device has wireless capability, as most newer products do, then you do not need an Ethernet cable. However, older computer models and desktops may not have wireless capability and will require an Ethernet cable to make the physical connection between the router and the computer.

Which port do I plug the Ethernet cable into?

You can plug the Ethernet cable into any of the three Ethernet ports.

What is my wireless password?

The wireless password (“WiFi Key”) appears on a sticker on your router box, as well as on the bottom of your router. You are free to change the password once you have your network set up, however, it is not necessary to do so.

If I am using the Ethernet cable, why do I need a wireless password?

If a secondary device is used, such as a smartphone, tablet or other wireless device that requires a wireless connection, you need the wireless password to connect those devices.
