Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is wireless Internet?
Wireless Internet is high-speed Internet access which uses high frequency radio waves instead of telephone lines to connect you to the Internet. Your computer is hooked up to an antenna on your desktop, roof or utility pole that transmits radio waves to our towers located in various locations between Maxwell, Brady and Gothenburg. In turn, this tower connects you to our Internet backbone.

Is wireless Internet faster than my 56k dial-up connection?
Yes! Depending on the package you choose, you will experience Internet at a much faster rate than your current modem can offer you. Facspro.Net offers four different connection speeds. Remember, however, that no matter how fast your connection, speeds on the Internet itself can affect performance. Things that can affect speed include the server load of the website you are visiting, Internet traffic patterns at certain times of the day, router efficiency and backbone usage.

Do I need special equipment?
Depending on your particular installation, you will need either an adapter card for the wireless interface and possibly a table top range extender antenna or an externally mounted antenna or you may need a USB device and an additional antenna. The adapter and antenna remain the property of Facspro.Net, and the cost for using them is included in your monthly wireless access fee.

Am I in your service area?
Please check the map on our Service Area page to determine if you are able to receive and transmit the radio signals from our tower.

Can I be on the Internet all the time with a wireless connection?
Yes. Facspro.Net Wireless is an always-on service. Connecting is as easy as starting up your web browser. There is No Waiting for a dial-up connection. No Busy signals and No Dropped Connections

I have more than one computer in my home. Can they both be connected to wireless Internet?
By networking two or more computers together, they can all have simultaneous access to wireless Internet. Typically, each computer would have a network interface card installed in it, and then the computers would be connected by Ethernet cables. There are also other home network configurations available that work with wireless Internet, but this is the most common.
