# Troubleshooting

{% hint style="warning" %}
As a wholesale provider, Hosted Network require our Partners to perform level 1 and level 2 diagnostics before we can accept a fault. Please ensure you've gone through these steps before logging a fault. Failure to do so may result in a longer resolution time frame.
{% endhint %}

## Troubleshooting steps / guides <a href="#wantroubleshootingguide-troubleshootingsteps-guides" id="wantroubleshootingguide-troubleshootingsteps-guides"></a>

Below are the Level 1 and 2 diagnostics that you are required to complete. Please note the results of these diagnostic steps when submitting a fault to ensure Hosted Network engineers have all of the required details.&#x20;

Some of the steps are more specific to specific types of WAN technology, so you will need to ensure you are aware of what type of connection that you are working with.

## Basic Troubleshooting <a href="#wantroubleshootingguide-troubleshootingsteps-guides" id="wantroubleshootingguide-troubleshootingsteps-guides"></a>

* Are there maintenance/outage notifications in the Partner Portal for the service or at Hosted Network Status Page?
* When did the issue start?
* Were there any recent network changes on your end?
* Check/determine the symptom

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="No internet connectivity" %}
Has the service ever worked before?

Check if the CPE and carrier device (if applicable) is powered on and connected properly (nbn, Telstra, AAPT)

Check if reboot of devices restores the connection
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Slow speeds" %}
Does this happen all the time or only at specific/random times of the day?

Does this happen to all devices or only on some devices? Check if they are connected via ethernet or wifi.

Check if reboot of devices eliminates the issue
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Dropouts/Intermittent connectivity" %}
Check if reboot of devices stabilizes the connection

Consider replacing ethernet cable used on CPE to carrier device
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

If the issue is not resolved, please refer to advanced troubleshooting prior raising a fault to Support Team
