Frequently Asked Questions

What is wireless internet?

Instead of using phone lines or cable television wires, wireless internet uses microwave radio signals, much like cell phones. Instead of voice, wireless networks carry data. Nedernet's office in central Nederland has a high-speed fiber internet connection, which we redistribute through our wireless network.

To receive service, you need a clear view of one of our repeaters and an antenna that we provide. A wireless router lets laptops, phones and other devices connect around your home. Our original FAQ describes speeds up to 20 Mbps; current speeds depend on your plan and location.

Will I be able to get it?

Our service covers much of Nederland, Rollinsville proper, Wedgwood and Eldora, as well as Bar-K Ranch in Jamestown, Allenspark and Ward. Coverage depends on line of sight and terrain. If you're not sure, give us a call. Neighbors outside our current service area can also contact us about potential expansion; the original FAQ suggests approximately five interested households may make an expansion feasible.

When will it be available?

Service is available now in covered areas. The original FAQ states most installations can be completed within 48 hours; please call 303-258-7922 to confirm current scheduling and arrange an appointment.

Can I hook up more than one computer?

Yes. You can connect multiple computers and devices through a router, which Nedernet can provide for a fee. We can also help with cabling. All connected devices can be online simultaneously.

Is the connection secure?

Our wireless signal is encrypted when it leaves your house, and sensitive web traffic should use HTTPS encryption. We recommend securing your home Wi-Fi network with a strong password so unauthorized users cannot access your connection or consume your bandwidth.
