Troubleshooting Connectivity
This article guide outlines how to test the connection using a hotspot, bypass potential firewall restrictions, configure firewall settings, and escalate the issue to higher support levels if necessary.
Step by Step Guide:
Step 1: Test with a Hotspot:
- Disable the Ethernet connection. (Ethernet must be unplugged or disabled, or the PC will default to ethernet, even if the PC is ALSO connected to a hotspot.)
- Connect to a hotspot and verify that Club Caddie functions correctly.
Step 2: Bypass the Firewall:
Connect a PC directly to the modem.
- If the internet works: The issue is likely with the client's firewall.
- If Club Caddie does not work: The client should contact their Internet Service Provider ("ISP") and talk to their ISP about the "Content Filtering" or other restrictions that might be blocking/limiting Club Caddie traffic.
Step 3: Firewall Configuration:
- If the internet works through the direct ISP connection, provide the FIREWALL ALLOW LIST to the client's IT team.
- Confirm that the IT team has implemented all necessary configurations.
Step 4: Escalate if Necessary:
- If the issue persists after completing the above steps, contact Level 3 support by prompting a chat and state the steps you have taken to correct the issue.
