How Can I Test My Coax Outlet for an Internet Signal?

If you are having issues with your Internet connection and looking for a potential fix, look no further. While there may be a number of different issues with your connection, testing your coax outlet can determine whether you have an Internet signal at all.

 

Before you can test your coax outlet for an Internet signal, you must select your method of testing. While you can take your internet modem from coax outlet to coax outlet, Hitron’s DSS-01 Coax Cable Tester will help you determine whether or not you have a valid Internet signal in 10 seconds or less. The DSS-01 can save you the headache of calling your cable Internet provider and waiting for a technician to visit by troubleshooting your connection yourself.

 

The Hitron DSS-01 Coax Cable Tester offers:

  • An easy-to-understand test so everyone, from amateurs to professional internet technicians, can use it.
  • A bright, LED-light indicator that tells you instantly if you have a signal. Green means a signal was detected, red means no signal was detected.
  • Testing results in less than 10 seconds.
  • Simple push button test for ease of use.
  • Uses regular AAA batteries for up to 100 tests.

 

By utilizing the above features, the DSS-01 makes troubleshooting and testing your coax outlet easy. Once plugged in, just look for the LED-light indicating red or green. If the light is red and no Internet signal is detected, it is time to see what other issues exist that could be interfering with your signal. Testing your coax outlet for signal can help you quickly determine if there are larger issues at play and that you need to contact your cable Internet provider.

 

Hitron’s DSS-01 Coax Cable Tester is available for purchase on Amazon.  Looking for more information on Coax testers or WiFi and Internet solutions? Check out Hitron’s Learn page.
