FAQ Questions

One of the most prevalent problems encountered is either the streaming service buffering or not working on specific devices. This is often due to either a WiFi signal strength issue, a problem with the specific streaming device, or the TV itself. The TV's built-in apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) are often problematic. They do not receive regular software updates and are not well optimized to use with various streaming services. It is best to use a separate streaming device. We recommend a Firestick, Roku, or Smart TV. For more information on how to troubleshoot your Firestick, Roku, or Smart TV, please refer to the relevant sections of our Help Center.
In numerous cases, sluggish internet speeds are the result of either a WiFi signal strength problem or the device being used. It is also possible that the device itself is the cause of the problem. Try testing speed on various devices and see if the issue persists across all devices. If it is an individual device, it is likely the device itself. If the problem persists on all devices, please contact our support center. For more information on how to troubleshoot slow internet speed, please refer to the Slow Speed section of our Help Center.
If you're currently unable to access the internet, please check the status of your ONT (the white or black box with the word ADTRAN printed on it). Make sure it is on and that the LOS light is not blinking red. If the LOS light is blinking red, it means there is a problem with the fiber line, and you will need to contact our support center. If the LOS light is green and you are still unable to access the internet, pull the power out of the wall for 30 seconds then plug it back in. The ONT will take up to 3 min to boot up. Next try restarting your router by pulling the power out of the wall for 30 seconds then plugging it back in. Please make sure the flat white cable from the ONT to the router is plug into the WAN (blue port) else the internet will not work. For more information on how to troubleshoot a lack of internet access, please refer to the No Internet section of our Help Center.
If you're encountering issues with making outbound calls or receiving inbound calls, try restarting your router and your ATA (the black box). If the problem persists after a restart, please contact our support center. For more information on how to troubleshoot phone issues, please refer to the Phone Not Working section of our Help Center.
Occasionally, your camera may experience intermittent internet connectivity issues. This is often due to either a WiFi signal strength issue, a problem with the camera, or the internet connection itself. Try moving the camera closer to the router or using a WiFi extender to boost the signal. If the problem persists, please contact our support center. For more information on how to troubleshoot camera issues, please refer to the Camera section of our Help Center.
In a setup where you have multiple routers, one of them might have a red light indicating an issue. In most cases, this is due to one of the routers not being properly connected to the internet. Make sure all cables are properly connected and that the router is turned on. If the problem persists, try restarting the routers one by one. If the red light continues to show, please contact our support center. For more information on how to troubleshoot router issues, please refer to the Routers section of our Help Center.
Talkie operates on a post-pay billing system. This means that the first invoice will typically be generated within a week after installation. The first invoice may include the installation fee and the first month of service. From then on, billing will occur monthly on the same day. For more information on how to understand your bill, please refer to the Billing section of our Help Center.
Tip of the day. Talkie intends to bury the fiber cable beneath your lawn within 2-4 weeks of the installation. The time it takes to bury the cable can vary depending on weather conditions and other factors like Miss utility. We appreciate your patience during this process. If the cable is still not buried after 3 weeks, please contact our support center. For more information on the installation process, please refer to the Installation section of our Help Center.
No need to worry. If the service is not yet installed, you can cancel your order without any charges. If the service is already installed, you will be billed for the installation and the first month of service.

While Talkie provides the option to use their routers, you also have the option to use your own router. However, please note that not all routers are compatible with the Talkie service.

For more information on compatible routers, please refer to the Routers section of our Help Center.

Latency is essentially an end-to-end measurement of the delay in data transmission. Several factors can contribute to latency, such as the distance between the source and destination of data, the number of intermediate nodes that data must pass through, the amount of traffic on the network, and the speed of the network hardware. For more information on latency, please refer to the Latency section of our Help Center.

Although Talkie does not maintain a list of approved routers, we do provide a list of recommended routers. These are routers that we have tested and found to be compatible with our service. However, you are free to use any router that is compatible with fiber optic technology. For more information on routers, please refer to the Routers section of our Help Center. Both Nokia and Unifi are the top performing routers Talkie has tested.
WiFi extenders, although an older technology, can still be used effectively in many situations. However, a mesh network provides a more comprehensive solution for WiFi coverage in larger homes. Talkie can assist in setting up either solution, but the choice between the two will depend on the specifics of your home and your needs. For more information on WiFi extenders and mesh networks, please refer to the WiFi section of our Help Center.
