To set up your router simply connect the router to a power source and the master socket. Once this has been done the broadband light should come on.

Your router has been pre-configured and may take up to 30 minutes to establish an Internet connection. Once a connection has been established the light labelled Internet will turn on.

To change your broadband password you can login to the customer portal at https://customer.clara.net, once logged in on the left hand menu there is an option for “Password Change”.

Please remember if you change your Broadband password, you will also need to login to your router and update the password that the router uses to connect to the new password that you have set, if you do not do this, next time the router drops the internet connection it will not be able to reconnect as it will still be configured with the old password.

Not unless you want to. The usage limit counts the overall volume of data transferred, so it doesn't make any difference how quickly that data is downloaded. Only if your habits change (e.g. watching more videos online now that the line is faster) will you find your usage increasing.

Please ensure that the issue is not directly related to your current network set up. You can do this by connecting a computer directly to the router and running a speed test, thus bypassing any servers or firewall or switches or hubs which may a contributing factor. If you have an IT person on-site please check with them before doing that.

Please ensure you have performed a virus scan and a Spy-Ware scan to ensure no problems could be caused due to virus / spy-ware.

When you order an internet connection with Claranet SOHO or an upgrade to your existing service you will be offered a pre-configured router from us which will be pre-configured with your username and password settings to get you connected to the internet. If you prefer to use your own router this is also possible as long as it is compatible with the service you have.

If you are moving to a ADSL/ADSL2+ service you will need to use a Router that can connect using the PPPoA protocol.

We understand how important is it to get your connectivity up and running when you are moving premises. If you’re moving your office or home please allow 10 or more working days to move your broadband. Inform Claranet SOHO of your moving date as soon as you are aware and we will work closely with you to ensure your connectivity is working as quickly as possible after you have moved into your new premises.

There are two ways a customer can move their broadband service whether they have ADSL or Fibre.
