How to fix TDS Telecom not working

TDS Telecom 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:

1. Reconnect to your TDS Wi-Fi

   On an iPhone, open Settings > Wi-Fi and use the info button beside your home network to forget it; then join it again and enter the password. On Android or a laptop, open Wi-Fi settings and forget the network before you reconnect.

2. Restart your TDS router

   Unplug the router's power adapter and leave it off for 30 seconds before you plug it back in. Give it a minute. If a separate modem sits nearby, power-cycle that unit too before you test the connection.

3. Check for a TDS outage

   No official status page is known, so open the help centre at https://www.tdstelecom.com/contactus and ask whether an outage is open in your area. The meter on this site only tracks whether user problem reports are above their usual level; it does not probe your connection.

4. Test a TDS wired connection

   Plug a laptop into the router with an Ethernet cable and open a site you know loads normally. If the wired link works and Wi-Fi does not, the trouble is in the Wi-Fi network; if both fail, contact the help centre at https://www.tdstelecom.com/contactus.

While TDS Telecom is down: what to use instead

• Mobile hotspot If the home internet drops, turn on your phone's hotspot and connect a laptop or tablet so you can keep working; keep an eye on data use.
• Cell phone When the home phone line is dead, use your cell phone for calls and texts.
• Public Wi-Fi A library or cafe Wi-Fi can get a file sent or a form finished when your home connection is out; save sensitive logins for your own network later.
• TDS help centre Open the help centre on mobile data when the app or service page will not load, then use the contact page to ask about the outage.
