Frequently Asked Questions on Troubleshooting your Globe AT HOME 5G WiFi

The router is locked to your registered home address upon application.

  • If moved outside your assigned location, the service will automatically be blocked.
  • To keep your connection active, always use the device in its registered location.

For the best experience, we recommend disconnecting devices when not in use. If you need to keep multiple devices connected, we suggest only using 8-15 devices for optimal performance. Too many connected devices can affect the overall experience, depending on how each device is used.

If you're having trouble connecting, you may try these steps:

  1. Check Signal Strength: Use the signal strength indicator on the touch screen to find the best placement for your router.
  2. Reboot the Router: Go to the Menu Button > Settings > Reboot, or unplug the router for 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
  3. Check Wi-Fi Connection: Make sure you're connected to the correct Wi-Fi network. Use the QR code on the touch screen to connect easily.
  4. Switch Wi-Fi Frequency: If you're near the router, use the 5GHz connection for faster speeds. If you're farther away, try the 2.4GHz option for better range.
  5. Test Internet Speed: Use the built-in speed test feature or connect your device to Wi-Fi and test your speed with Ookla.
  6. Optimize Router Location: Place the router near a window to reduce obstacles and improve signal strength.

Yes, if you're unsatisfied within 7 days, you can return the router in good condition for a full refund of ₱3,299. 

You’ll receive a ₱1,600 device deposit refund within 7 days, provided the device is returned in good condition.

To be eligible for a refund, your router must meet the following criteria:

  • Physical Condition: The device should have no significant scratches, dents, or damage. Minor wear, like discoloration from sunlight or small markings, is okay.
  • Operating Condition: The device should power on, the LCD screen must be intact, and the display should be clear with no cracks or distortion.
  • Packaging: The router should be returned with the power cable and ideally in its original packaging. The "Do Not Tamper" sticker must be intact.

Yes, you can continue using the router as long as you keep reloading it with promos. If the router has no data for 30 days, it will be picked up from your home.

It's still a good idea to check the signal strength inside your home. 

 

While 5G frequencies are compatible with mobile networks, your Globe AT HOME 5G WiFi might use a different band to ensure the best experience.

For assistance, simply click the ‘Support’ button on your router’s LED display. An agent will call you between 9 AM and 9 PM, Monday to Sunday, to help resolve your issue.
