Question 1

I would like to access my router’s settings.

Of course!

To know which router you have, you just need to look on it and find a white label, where the model number will be written.

For the SR516ac and SR616ac models :

Because we need to create a custom username/password combination for those models of routers, please reach out to a customer service agent via any of our platforms (Facebook, SMS or email) to be granted access to the settings.

All new oxio clients receive one of the following router models

You can always use your own router if your plan doesn’t include home phone services. Visit the following page for additional information.

Question 5

Can I use my own router? How do I configure it?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Oxio internet services support personal routers

You can use your own router both as a main router and as a reach extender (or access point).

*Were you looking for technical documentation instead? You can find all of that right here.

Keep in mind

Customer service agents have much less information at their disposal when it comes to troubleshooting issues when you use your own router. Agents cannot help you configure parameters nor monitor your internet connection. Also note that no discount will be given to you if you use your own router since we lend oxio’s basic router for free.

As a main router

If you are not subscribed to oxio phone services, all you have to do is plug the Ethernet cable coming out of the modem into the WAN port on your own router and configure internet access via DHCP.

Oxio phone services

Question 6

How do I know whether I need 10, 30, 60, 120, 200 or 400 Mbps?

Accepted Answer

Let’s go through this together

The thing to keep in mind when choosing download speeds is that it’s about the simultaneous usage and not about the total amount of data downloaded. With oxio, there is no limit to downloading, meaning you can enjoy as much content as you want without worrying. Allow us to illustrate :

Imagine a house where four people are taking a shower at the same time ; there is bound to be less pressure flowing from every nozzle than if only one shower was on at once. The same idea applies to the internet speed. If multiple devices are in use simultaneously, your bandwidth can be stretched thin and the connection can be choppy. The more devices, the more spread out the bandwidth and the slower the individual speeds for each device.

Keep in mind that every suggestion below is a general approximation. Specific personal situations may deviate from the norm!

Here is some technical advice to help you make a choice:

All of our packages allow for unlimited data

Keep in mind that video conferencing takes up 1.5 Mbit/s on average for an HD call. Group calls with 7 or more people can take up to 8 Mbit/s.

ATTENTION: When using oxio TV services, each receiver can take up 10 Mbit/s of your bandwidth.

| With 10 Mbps you can: read your emails, watch videos on Youtube and browse Facebook. It is not possible to add the oxio TV service w
