How to fix iWay not working
iWay 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 iway.ch over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Restart the app and router
Close the app completely and open it again, since a stuck session is the first thing to rule out when a login screen hangs. If nothing changes, unplug the router for a moment and plug it back in. Let the connection settle before you retry.
Test on another device
Open the same page on a laptop or tablet that shares your Wi-Fi; if it loads there, the fault sits in the one device rather than in the line. Switch that device to mobile data next. Pages that load over the mobile network while the home connection fails point to the router or the line, and your account is probably fine.
Check the router lights and cable
Look at the front of the router before you change any setting, since a dark or red status light means the box has not synced with the line. Reseat the cable that runs from the wall socket into the router at both ends, and check the power lead is pushed in fully. A loose plug is dull advice, but it is the cheapest thing to rule out.
Sign in to the router admin page
The admin address and password sit on a sticker on the router itself; open that address in a browser and sign in. If the connection page shows no address handed out by the network, the line is down on the provider side and nothing on your side will bring it back. Check the official status page to see whether reports sit above their usual level, and use the help centre if one device keeps failing while the rest work.
While iWay is down: what to use instead
- Mobile hotspot Share your phone's mobile data when you need a temporary connection for browsing or work.
- Swisscom Use a Swisscom internet connection at home or work if you need another way online.
- Sunrise Check a Sunrise connection if your household or workplace has one available.
- Salt Use Salt home internet or mobile data when another connection is available.
Fix iWay on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
iWay on Windows
- Fix
- Restart your iWay router or modem, then disable and re-enable your Windows network adapter in the Network and Sharing Center. Ensure all ethernet cables connected to your iWay fiber or DSL box are securely plugged in.
- Check
- Check if the Windows network icon in your taskbar shows "No Internet Access" while connected to your iWay router. You can also try accessing a public website to verify if the iWay connection is active.

- Fix
- Unplug your iWay modem for 30 seconds, restart your Mac, and renew your DHCP lease in the macOS Network settings. Ensure your Wi-Fi is turned on and properly connected to your iWay network.
- Check
- Open macOS Network Settings to see if your status shows a self-assigned IP address or no connection on your iWay network. Verify if other devices in your home can access the internet via iWay.

- Fix
- Restart your Android device and power cycle your iWay router or modem. If the issue persists, forget the iWay Wi-Fi network in your settings and reconnect by entering the password again.
- Check
- Look for a "Connected, no internet" notification next to the iWay Wi-Fi network name in your Android settings. Try loading a webpage using mobile data to confirm if only your iWay connection is down.
iWay on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Restart your iPhone or iPad and restart your iWay router to refresh the connection. If you still cannot connect, reset your iOS network settings and reconnect to the iWay Wi-Fi network.
- Check
- Check if a "No Internet Connection" warning appears under the iWay Wi-Fi network name in your iOS Settings. Switch to mobile data to see if the issue is isolated to your iWay internet service.
What happens when iWay goes down
iWay is a Swiss telecom provider selling home internet, mobile lines and TV. Households and small businesses rely on it for the one line that carries a work call, a card terminal, the TV and the landline at once.
You notice it when a page hangs, then the router light changes while Wi-Fi stays up and nothing gets through. Landline calls over the box fail or drop mid-sentence, and TV goes blank or loops on the loading screen even though the channel list still loads. Mobile data takes a different path. A fiber fault can leave your phone working while the home connection is dead, and because reports cluster by area or by service, a partial fault can look total from one address.

How we track iWay
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for iWay, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for iWay, 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. This is separate from iWay's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
