Equipment Compatibility
Last updated September 2, 2024
This guide clarifies the compatibility requirements for devices and equipment used with Tachus internet and phone services.
Understanding Equipment Compatibility
- Modem Compatibility: Your modem must be compatible with Tachus's network technology (cable, fiber optic, DSL). Not all modems work with all internet providers.
- Router Compatibility: While most routers are generally compatible with internet service providers, some routers may have specific features that work better with Tachus's service or network configuration.
- Phone Devices: If you're using a landline phone service from Tachus, ensure your phone devices are compatible with their network. Tachus may provide specific phone adapters or devices.
Checking Compatibility
- Contact Tachus Support: The best way to confirm compatibility is to contact Tachus customer support directly. They can provide information about compatible modems and routers for your specific service plan.
- Online Resources: Some internet providers (including Tachus) may list compatible devices on their website. Check Tachus's support pages or website for compatible equipment details.
- Equipment Box: Check for specific model numbers or compatibility details on the box of any new equipment you purchase.
Using Your Own Equipment
- Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): In some cases, Tachus may allow you to use your own modem or router, as long as it meets their compatibility requirements.
- Technical Support: If you decide to use your own equipment, contact Tachus support for instructions on configuring it for their service. They may be able to provide you with setup guides or troubleshooting tips.
Considerations
- Recent Models: Generally, newer models of modems and routers are more likely to be compatible with newer internet technologies and security standards.
- Internet Speed: If you're considering a higher-speed internet plan, ensure that your modem and router can handle the speeds required by your chosen plan.
- Wi-Fi Standards: Make sure your router supports the Wi-Fi standards (like 802.11ac or 802.11ax) needed for optimal speed and coverage in your home.
- Features: Consider features that are important to you, such as multi-device support, parental controls, or guest network functionality, when choosing a router.
