Does a technician install my oxio equipment?

No, oxio equipment is self-install. But setting up your oxio gear is super quick and easy!


Check out our step-by-step installation guide to get plugged in.


☝️ Wait until your service is activated before plugging in your gear! Connecting early won’t speed things up and may cause setup hiccups.


Why do I have a technician appointment?


If we booked a tech for you, it’s just to activate the physical line outside or inside your home so your signal is rock-solid.


  • Who they are: Techs come from the local line provider in your area, not oxio directly.
  • What they do: They check wall jacks, outside cabling, and signal strength. They don’t handle or plug in your oxio equipment.


What to know for appointment day.


  • Be ready: Keep your phone handy and listen for the door! Techs may call from an unknown number before arriving.
  • Be home: Someone 18 or older must be present during the appointment window.
  • Clear the path: Make sure wall outlets and utility areas are easy to reach.



No appointment scheduled?


That means your service can be activated remotely! We’ll confirm this with you via email.


If you’re set for a remote activation, just wait for your activation confirmation message, plug in your gear, and enjoy.
