Possible Reasons for Hawaiian Telcom Service Issues

When you feel your Hawaiian Telcom service is not performing up to the mark, and you are not getting the speed you pay for, you should try to determine the underlying cause of interruption in service. Some most common factors contributing to such a situation are:           

• Service outage
• Equipment malfunction

Hawaiian Telcom Troubleshooting Tips

At unfortunate times, when it appears your Hawaiian Telcom service is not working properly — for example, the signals keep dropping or it slows down quite often — you may be able to fix the issue with some simple troubleshooting tips:

Search for Current Outages at Hawaiian Telcom

If your Hawaiian Telcom service is completely knocked out, the first thing you should do is see if there’s a known service outage. To find out if an outage is affecting your neighborhood, speak to a Hawaii Telcom customer service representative at 1-844-945-2202. If yes, there’s nothing much you can do about it other than waiting for the service to return. Remember Hawaiian Telcom will do everything in its power to restore your service as quickly as possible.

Run Mandatory Preliminary Checks

If there’s no known outage in your neighborhood, use this checklist to fix your Hawaiian Telcom service issues:

• Ensure that all cables are properly plugged in.
• Make sure the internet equipment is powered on.
• Replace any wires that may have worn out over time.
• Reposition the equipment to a central location in your home, if not already.
• Remove any objects obstructing the signal reach, such as electronic devices, brick walls, etc.
• Confirm you are using the correct network credentials to connect to your in-home network.

Restart Your Hawaiian Internet System

If you don’t see anything missing from the checklist above, the next thing you need to try is restarting your Hawaiian Telcom Internet equipment. This simple troubleshooting technique almost always works.

Follow these steps to restart your equipment:

• Unplug your equipment by removing the power cord plugged in at the back.
• Wait for at least 30 seconds until all status indicator lights go off. This allows devices to properly cool down.
• Plug in the devices.
• Wait for a few minutes to let your devices properly boot up.
• Once everything is sorted, check your internet connection to see if the issue has been fixed.

Restart Your Hawaiian Telcom TV System

If you are facing issues, such as a frozen Set Top Box, missing channels, or lack of DVR functionalities with your Hawaiian Telcom TV service, a simple reset may resolve the issue. Follow these steps to restart your Set Top Box (STB):

• Reset your Set Top Box by pressing the Power button located at the back.
• You can also reset the box from the menu system by following the prompt:
• Menu à Settings à Restart System.
• Select the Restart option to confirm and press the OK button on your remote.

This simple trick works miraculously. If, however, you are still facing service issues, try a different reset method:

• Unplug your STB by removing the power outlet.
• Wait for at least 10 seconds.
• Plug the box back in.
• Check to see if the problem went away.

Check Your Device(s)

All simple yet effective Hawaiian Telcom troubleshooting tips we have discussed above prove useful for in-home network-related issues. If you think the issue lies within a specific device, here is what you can do:

• Turn off Wi-Fi on the device you are trying to connect to your Hawaiian Telcom internet, and then turn it on again.
• If your device is away from internet equipment, move it to a place in your home with the best internet coverage.
• Restart your device. Now check if the issue has been fixed.
