Installation
Getting Lockridge Networks installed takes three easy steps:
- Click the "Get Started" button on any of our internet plans and complete the registration form.
- Our team will confirm you are in the coverage area and will schedule an onsite survey. This includes getting on your roof and testing signal strength and line of sight from one of our towers.
- Once signal strength is known, we'll share what bandwidth options are available in your area. We can then install immediately for a one time, $99 install fee. You'll be billed each month on the anniversary of your install date. There are no other surprises or hidden fees.
We're also happy to talk you through the install process, please call us at 641-426-2400 or text/SMS us at 641-426-2400.
Call us at 641-426-2400 to discuss options. We've built over 40 towers to service remote areas of Iowa that were previously unreachable. If you are in line of sight to another Lockridge Networks customer we may even build a custom network extension from them to your home. Unlike most other providers, we are very flexible, so call us and we can get you hooked up.
Troubleshooting
Lockridge Networks has redundant Internet connectivity and outages are very rare. If you are unable to reach the Internet, most issues can be solved by performing the following actions:
- Turning your computer, tablet or device off and on again.
- Unplug the power injectors which power your router and antenna. Wait one minute, then plug the power injectors back in. Do not use the reset button, you will lose your connection.
If neither of these actions solve your connectivity issues, please call us at 641-426-2400 or text/SMS us at 641-426-2400 and we will be happy to help get you back up and running.
