Weak or Intermittent Wi-Fi Connection

Use these steps if the terminal connects to Wi-Fi but frequently disconnects, slows down, or times out.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Check the terminal's Wi-Fi signal strength when the issue occurs.
  2. Move the terminal closer to the wireless access point.
  3. Check whether walls, equipment, or other wireless devices may be interfering with the signal.
  4. Confirm whether other devices on the same network are experiencing connection problems.
  5. Note whether the issue occurs at a specific location or time of day.
  6. Safely restart the terminal once if the connection continues to drop.

Contact Support If

  • The connection continues to drop despite a strong Wi-Fi signal.
  • Transactions repeatedly time out.
  • Multiple terminals are experiencing the same issue.
  • The terminal shows an unknown transaction status after losing connection.

Important: Do not repeatedly retry a payment after a connection failure until the original transaction status has been verified.
