Most connectivity problems fall under three categories. Troubleshooting methods vary depending upon the type of problem you are experiencing.

• No Sync – Occurs when your cable modem does not detect enough signal from the network.
• Sync-no-surf – Your connection fails even when your cable modem indicates that you have “activity”.
• Intermittent Sync – Some sync problems are not constant, with the connection going up and down repeatedly at seemingly random intervals.

If an error occurs, one or more lights turn off, or continue to flash (until the modem automatically resets itself), providing visual clues to detecting problems. Make sure to boot up the cable modem first before turning on your computer.

• Unplug the power cord from the back of the modem.
• Wait 60 to 90 seconds, and plug the power cord back into the modem.
• Wait for the Internet light to turn green.
• Try connecting to the Internet.

A No Sync situation may occur from a lack of signal strength, please review the following:

Make sure that your cable modem’s connection is securely attached.

Power cycle your cable modem.

Turn off the power switch on your modem or surge protector, or unplug it, then wait several seconds before powering it back up. Wait 60 to 90 seconds for your cable modem to attempt to re-establish its connection. Make sure to restart your router after modem sync (if applicable) and then computer.

Check your cable TV service.

The cable outlet jack that your cable modem is plugged into usually should have video service when a TV is plugged into it. Connect a TV set into the outlet that your cable modem uses and see if you receive a quality video signal. If you don’t get a video signal or it is of poor quality, there may be a physical problem with your cable TV/cable modem line, Broadstripe may be experiencing a service interruption or you have been placed in a billing or technical disconnect.

If you are still experiencing issues, contact our Call Center at (410) 987-9300 or CustomerServiceMD@broadstripe.com.

A Sync-no-surf situation may occur from a problem with the connection to your computer or the computer’s TCP/IP configuration, hence steps to ready the situation should involve:

Power cycle your cable modem.

Turn off the power switch on the cable modem (or unplug it), and your router (if applicable), then wait several seconds before powering the modem back up. Wait 60 to 90 seconds for your modem to attempt to re-establish its connection, then power on the router (if applicable), and then your computer.

Check your modem’s activity light.

After power cycling your modem, keep an eye on your activity light and try opening a web page with your browser. It should flash briefly when your computer makes an HTTP request. This is a good indication that your computer is able to connect through to your modem. If the activity light does not flicker when you try to get online, there may be a problem with your Ethernet card, in which case it may be a good idea to contact your computer manufacturer for further assistance. Make sure your Ethernet connections are securely seated in the modem and computer.

Check your Network Settings

Make sure that your computer’s TCP/IP Network Settings for DHCP are specified correctly. The settings you should be using are provided when your service is delivered. For details on how to get to your network settings, please see our Installation Support site for appropriate information.

If you are still experiencing issues, contact our Call Center at (410) 987-9300 or CustomerServiceMD@broadstripe.com.

An Intermittent Sync situation may occur from outside conditions affecting your connectivity, hence steps to ready the situation should involve:

Check for environmental causes.

A cable modem is a delicate piece of electronic equipment. Electronic interference can affect its ability to function – lamps, microwaves, radio signals, and wireless transmitting equipment have caused many intermittent-sync problems that are easily solved by moving either the modem or the interfering device further away. If you are using a wireless home network, please review the security settings for the device or disable the wireless capabilities to your computers and connect them via Ethernet cable to resolve the issue. Make sure your modem is placed in an open area to prevent over-heating, connected via a surge protector, and away from moisture and excessive heat.

Check your wiring.

Make sure that your cable modem’s connection is securely attached.

If you are still experiencing issues, contact our Call Center at (410) 987-9300 or CustomerServiceMD@broadstripe.com.

If the connection is ever lost, Broadstripe recommends powering down your computer and cable modem, then powering up in the following order:

• The cable modem.
• Wait 30 seconds to five minutes.
• Router or switch (if applicable).
• Wait 30 seconds to two minutes.
• The computer.

Be sure to turn on the spam filter in your email client. You can also increase or decrease the spam settings as necessary.
If you receive spam, do not use the link to remove yourself from their spam lists. This only lets the spammers know that your email address is valid, leading to even more spam.
Never reply to any request for personal information received in email; Broadstripe would never request this information through email. Such phishing attempts are created to get your secure information.

Broadstripe does not block any content, applications or service that is lawful or otherwise non-harmful to the network or subscribers. Broadstripe manages bandwidth to provide the best internet experience to all its users.

• Log in to your Linksys router using the Web interface. Type ” HYPERLINK “http://192.168.1.1″ http://192.168.1.1” in your browser’s address bar. If you are still using the Linksys default username and password, leave the Username field blank and enter “admin” as the password.
• Click the “Administration” tab in the Linksys interface. Under the Management sub-page, you will see your current username and password; change both to something that will be difficult for others to guess.
• Click “Save Settings.”
• Restore to Factory Settings.
• Locate the “Reset” button on your Linksys router. On some routers, it is on the back of the device, while on others, it is on the bottom. The button is recessed in a small hole and you will need a pen or paper clip to press it.
• Hold the “Reset” button for 30 seconds; the Power button should blink as you do this. Release the button, and then unplug the router from the wall for another 30 seconds.
• Plug the router back in. Connect your computer via Ethernet and log in to the Linksys router using the default settings. All of your settings have been erased, so you’ll need to reconfigure your wireless network and set a new admin username and password.

The Cable Act allows local governments to collect “franchise fees” on the sale of “cable services.” The amount of the franchise fee is set by the local government. Broadstripe collects the franchise fees and gives them to the local government. Local and state taxes vary by geographic area and may differ based on the applicable percentage as well as the service(s) and/or equipment that’s subject to the tax. The FCC fee is a fee imposed by the Federal Communications Commission and is also passed through to the customer on their monthly bill.

A pro-rated charge reflects the actual length of time you use Broadstripe services. For example, if you add a service in the middle of your billing cycle you are not responsible for paying the full monthly price. Rather, you are charged based on the number of days you had the service.

Broadstripe encourages customers to make timely payments to avoid late fees and possible service interruption. We reserve the right to charge late fees when payments are made after the due date.

Sometimes bills are issued before all the payments are processed in our billing system. Your latest bill may have been mailed prior to receipt of your payment and the credit may not appear on your bill. You may verify any payment by using our automated phone system or speaking with a Customer Care Representative at (410) 987-9300 or CustomerServiceMD@broadstripe.com

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and debit cards. We accept one-time check payments via mail or in our lobby, as well as cash payments in our lobby.

For your convenience, you can pay online at https://cableanytime.com/AABroadband/ using your credit or debit card. Alternatively, you can make a credit or debit card payment through our phone system by calling (410) 987-9300 and pressing option 2 or by speaking with a Customer Care Representative. For credit/debit card, cash or check payments you may also visit our lobby at 406 Headquarters Drive, Millersville, MD 21108.

Another option is to set up automatic monthly payments by contacting our Call Center at (410) 987-9300.

Contact our Call Center at (410) 987-9300 and ask to change your billing method to paperless and start receiving your bill via email.

This process is quick and simple! You’ll be able to install your Internet at a time that is convenient for you. It also costs less than having a professional complete the installation, so you
save money and time. In addition, this no-contact installation protects the health and wellbeing
of our employees and customers while providing you with the service and support that you
need.

Most new Broadstripe Internet customers qualify for our Self-Installation process.

Broadstripe Internet and Whole-Home WiFi are available for Self-Installation.

A Technician will arrive at your home during your scheduled installation window, and they will
complete the outside work necessary to disconnect service from your previous Internet provider
and prepare your home for Broadstripe Internet. After they complete their outside work, you’ll
receive an email of where your kit has been l eft so you can begin the self-installation. After you
complete your self-installation, your Broadstripe Internet will be ready to go.

The Self-Installation Kit cannot be shipped separately to your home, as it will be dropped off by
the Technician during your installation appointment window.

You don’t need to be home during your i nstallation window. Our Technician will complete the
outside work, then l eave your Self-Installation Kit at your front door or other l ocation you have
requested.

Your self-installation kit will come with instructions on how to install your Broadstripe internet. Here is a video to help as well:

Your self-installation kit will come with instructions on how to install your Whole-Home Wifi. Here is a video to help as well:

If your equipment is damaged or stolen, please call us back at 410-987-9300 so we can assist
you.

Your self-installation kit will come with instructions on how to install your specific type of modem.
If you have any issues during the installation process, you can give us a call at 410-987-9300
and one of our customer care team members can assist you.

You sure can. If you’re a new customer, our Broadstripe Technician would still need to complete
the outside work to prepare your home for Broadstripe Internet. After that work is complete, you will
need to contact Broadstripe at 410-987-9300 to activate your customer owned modem.

Yes, for any new service Self-Installations. This is a one-time fee for the Technician coming out
to activate the feed to the home.

We recommend that you set up your new wireless modem with the same settings that were on
your previous modem. Once you have set up your wireless modem, look for your network name
in the available networks and enter your newly created wireless password. If you have any
issues, we recommend visiting the manufacturer’s site for your device.

There is a $10 Activation Fee associated with new Broadstripe Internet that applies to both new
service Self-Installation and professional installation. If you request a professional installation,
the total fee is $75.

We will provide you with comprehensive, easy instructions to install your Internet, but we
understand if you need a little help. If you need assistance during the self-installation process,
feel free to call 410-987-9300 and one of our customer care team members can assist you. If
we need to send a Technician to complete your installation, there could be a charge associated.

Your Broadstripe billing will begin on your installation date.

Dead spots, differing, or endless reboots? These are all symptoms of traditional routers, and
why it can be so tough to work, browse, and play in every room of your home or business. The solution is Whole-Home or Whole-Business WiFi from Broadstripe, which uses eero devices to blanket
your home or business in fast, reliable WiFi, delivering a consistently strong signal everywhere you need it.

Included with Broadstripe Whole-Home/Business WiFi is the eero app. Within the app you can
easily see and manage devices that access your network, share your guest network, create
user profiles, or pause the Internet for individual devices.

You can create a guest network for visitors. To get started on creating a guest network, take the following steps:

1. Open the eero application.
2. Tap on the menu icon in the top l eft corner.
3. From the menu, tap on “Guest Access.”
4. Toggle Enable to “On.”
5. Once you have turned on Guest Access, you can edit the network name and
   password. To share your network, you can either give your guests the network name
   and password or tap “Share Guest Network” to send them the credentials through a
   variety of messaging options like SMS or email.

To disable the guest network, toggle Enable to “Off” and any previously connected devices
will lose connectivity to your home network.

To get started, you’ll first need to create profiles for the members of your household:

1. Open the eero app and tap the “Menu” button on the top left.
2. Tap on “Family Profiles” (if you don’t see this option, please update your app).
3. If it’s your first time creating a Family Profile user, you’ll be greeted by the “Add a
   Profile” prompt.
4. If you’re looking to add another user, tap the “+” in the top right corner.
5. Enter the profile name of your choice and then tap “Next.”
6. Select one or more devices by tapping on the device name in your device list.
7. Tap “Save” in the top right corner.

To manually pause the Internet within Family Profiles, you must first create a profile for a user
and associate devices with their profile. Pausing can be done to entire profiles, not individual
devices. If you’d like to pause the Internet for an individual device, simply create a one-device
profile for the device in question.

To manually pause the Internet:

1. Open the eero app and tap the “Menu” button on the top left.
2. Tap on “Family Profiles” (if you don’t see this option, please update your app).
3. Tap on the “Pause” icon on the right of the profile name. Alternatively, tap into the
   profile and tap on the “Pause” icon on the top right. You can also create schedules to
   restrict network access for users at specific times on a recurring basis.

It’s easy! You can view or change your network name and password anytime i n the eero app.
From the eero app, open the menu, and tap “Network Settings.” Then tap on “Network Name”
and you’ll be taken to a field to edit your network name. You can edit your password by
tapping “Network Password.”

Family Profiles allows you to associate connected devices on your network to specific users
within your home. Each device can only be added to one profile, so shared devices like the
family room TV will need to be associated with a single user or profile.
To add a device to a profile:

1. Open the eero app and tap the “Menu” button on the top left.
2. Tap on “Family Profiles.”
3. Tap into the profile you would like to update.
4. Tap “Devices Assigned to This Profile.”
5. Tap on the + on the top right corner.
6. Select one or more devices by tapping on the name of the devices.
7. Lastly, tap “Save” on the top right corner.

To assign or edit device nicknames:

1. Open the eero app and navigate to the My Network screen.
2. Tap “Number of Devices Currently on Network” on the dashboard.
3. Tap the device you would like to add or edit the nickname for.
4. Tap “Nickname” on the top of the screen and type out the nickname of your choice.
5. Tap “Save” on the top right corner.
