How to fix Eir not working
Eir is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach eir.ie over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Test a second device on the Eir line
Try another device. Open the same app or website on another phone or laptop connected to the same Wi-Fi, or switch your phone to mobile data; if the second device loads fine, the fault sits on your first device, and if neither works, restart the router next.
Restart the Eir router and your phone
Restart both ends. Unplug the router power lead, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and let the lights settle; restart your phone while the router comes back, then test one Wi-Fi device and one mobile-data device.
Reset network settings for the Eir SIM
On iPhone, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings; this clears saved Wi-Fi passwords and VPN profiles, so have those ready. On Android, open Settings and use the search field at the top for Reset network settings, then confirm; the exact path varies by manufacturer. Rejoin your Wi-Fi after.
Call Eir support with the fault details
Gather the details before you call. Have your account number and the affected phone number or broadband line reference ready, plus the times you first noticed the fault and any router light pattern. Ask support to test the line from their side; the status page cannot ping or probe your connection.
While Eir is down: what to use instead
- Another mobile network A SIM from another network gets you online when the Eir broadband line is out.
- Public Wi-Fi Join public Wi-Fi when mobile data is weak.
- Landline or other network phone Use a landline or a phone on another network to make calls if the mobile service will not connect.
- Browser version Open the website in a browser if the app will not load.
Problems at the same time as Eir
Since 28 October, all 6 of Eir's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Eir goes down
Eir is an Irish telecom provider with broadband, mobile and TV services. Households and small businesses rely on it for work calls and streaming, so an outage can cut a meeting or a match in the middle.
Broadband usually breaks first: your router may keep its Wi-Fi light on while phones and laptops show connected, yet pages time out. Mobile faults can bring dropped calls, data that will not load, failed texts, or 'No Service' on the handset, and they may hit one town or one cell while other areas work. Eir TV and on demand streaming stall or fail to load because they ride the same line. Faults can be local to an exchange or cabinet, or partial across a service, so check whether a neighbour on the same street has the same trouble.

How we track Eir
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Eir, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Eir, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Eir doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
