BartNet IP Troubleshooting

My BartNet IP internet service is slow/not working.

Check the status of the POE Power Supply. If your power supply is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, make sure the switch is on.
- If the green light is off, your power supply is bad, and you will need to replace it.
- If the green light is on, power cycle by unplugging, waiting 25 seconds, then plug back in.

PMP100 POE Power Supply

ePMP POE power supply

If your POE is plugged directly into computer, restart computer.
If your POE is plugged into a router:
- Check the status of the router.
- If no lights are on, make sure router is plugged in and power is on.
- If lights are on, make sure the "To Computer" end, the "10/100Mbit Data" side, or the "Gigabit Data" side of your POE (depending on which POE power supply you have) is plugged into the internet port of the router.
- Power cycle router by unplugging the power cord, waiting 25 seconds, then plug back in.
- Make sure the wireless has not be turned off. (some routers have a button that turns the wireless on or off)

Router POE Power Supply Connection

If your internet still is not working, try bypassing your router by plugging the "To Computer" end, the "10/100Mbit Data" side, or the "Gigabit Data" side of your POE directly into your computer.\\r\\n \\r\\n
- If your internet works now, then your router is probably bad.
If you are still having issues with your internet, you can check the status of your Radio, go to your Web Browser (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) type the IP address 10.99.99.1 into the Address Bar (not the Search Bar, which will show the name of your search engine such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) This IP address will not work if you are assigned a Static IP address.\'c2\~\\r\\n(ePMP only- User name: readonly\'c2\~\'c2\~ Password: readonly)

You should now see a screen where the following information (and a little more) is available:

PMP100 Subscriber Module Stats ePMP1000 Subscriber Module Stats

If this screen does not appear, either your POE power supply is bad, or there\'e2\'80\'99s an issue with your CAT5 cable connection.

Check your Power Level. Power level is measured in \'e2\'80\ldblquote dBm and you want this number to be as close to 0 as possible. Thus -65 is a better signal than -80. The radio will start dropping the signal (losing internet) at some point near -80. Your radio may need to be realigned, or you may have trees that are blocking your line of sight.
If it shows \'e2\'80\'9cN/A\'e2\'80\'9d or \'e2\'80\'9cScanning\'e2\'80\'9d by the Registered AP, then your radio is most likely out of alignment, or you may have trees blocking your line of sight.
If you are still having issues with slow internet after power cycling your POE and router (all lights are on and they seem to be working properly), and your power level is fine; then you may have malware on your computer. We have links for Anti-malware software on our Helpful Links page that you can download to help clean up and protect your computer. You should also check your CPU usage to see if you have programs running that are slowing down your computer.\\r\\n \\r\\n
- ePMP equipment has a Throughput Chart so you can see your actual bandwidth usage in real time. Once logged in to the radio, click on the box \'e2\'80\'9cThroughput Chart"
If you are not able to resolve the problem, please call the office 918-333-2208 to schedule a service call.

Do you offer phone service?

No. We focus on building and supporting the best IP network service available to rural areas of Green Country. Since there are a number of companies offering IP / Internet based phone service we simply try to insure those services work on our network.

Do I need telephone service for your service to work?

No. BartNet IP is a broadband / always on service that works independent of phone lines and/or cable lines. The only requirement for our service is the equipment you buy at time of install

Do I get television service with your dish?

No. BartNet IP supplies internet data only. It looks similar to a satellite but does not operate as one.

When is my bill due?

All bills are sent on the 1st of each month and are due by the 10th of the month to avoid possible service interruption and/or late fees.
