How to fix I3 Broadband not working
I3 Broadband 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 i3broadband.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check the I3 Broadband report level
Check the report level first. The top of this page shows whether I3 Broadband reports sit above their usual mark, so a high level means wait and retry while a normal level points to your device or home network.
Test a second device on I3 Broadband Wi-Fi
Try a second device. Open a site on a second phone or laptop while the first device still fails, and note whether both show the same error. If only one device stalls, forget the I3 Broadband network on that device and join it again.
Restart the I3 Broadband router
Unplug the router's power, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and let the lights settle before you retest. Do not press the reset button. It can wipe your Wi-Fi name and password, and I3 Broadband support can tell you when a reset is safe.
Renew the I3 Broadband connection
On Windows, open Command Prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew; on macOS, open System Settings > Network > Wi-Fi > Details > TCP/IP and click Renew DHCP Lease. This clears a bad local address without touching your I3 Broadband account. Call I3 Broadband support if the device still fails.
While I3 Broadband is down: what to use instead
- Mobile hotspot Turn your phone into a hotspot when a laptop has to stay online for a work call and the home connection drops.
- Library Wi-Fi Use the library network if you need to send a file or check email and can wait until the building opens.
- Cellular data Use it for maps.
- Support phone line Call support if you need an account fix and the website will not load.

What happens when I3 Broadband goes down
I3 Broadband is a broadband provider that supplies internet service. You rely on it for work and streaming, so an outage interrupts video calls and downloads; the status at the top of this page shows when problem reports are above their usual level.
Your Wi-Fi light can stay on. Pages stall first, then video calls freeze, streaming buffers, and work apps lose their connection because the router has a local link but no route to the provider. That can hit one street or one neighborhood while the wider network stays up. The status at the top of the page shows when problem reports are above their usual level, and a local problem can push that level up just as a wider outage can.

How we track I3 Broadband
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for I3 Broadband, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for I3 Broadband, 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. I3 Broadband 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.
