At this property, each unit has its own private network.  If you connect to the Wi-Fi or physically plug in with an ethernet cable, you will be connected to your unit’s private network.

You can roam throughout the property and remain connected to your unit’s private network, even if you connect to a different wireless access point.  Your unit’s unique password will connect your device to your network.

Haywire’s equipment is centrally managed, so there is not a customer login to manage the settings, such as the Wi-Fi name and password.

Additionally, in order to allow roaming throughout the property, each unit has a unique Wi-Fi password.  As a result, your Wi-Fi name and password cannot be changed.

You may bring your own wireless router if you wish to have control over your Wi-Fi name and settings.

Haywire’s equipment is centrally managed by Haywire.  Customers do not have have access to directly manage the equipment

If you are more of a do-it-yourself person,  you are welcome to use your own Wi-Fi enabled router (or access point) and plug it into the ethernet ports on the bottom of Haywire access point (or other ethernet port in your apartment). If you decide to go that route, just let us know and we will disable our Wi-Fi to prevent any interference issues.

By default, Haywire creates two wireless networks (SSIDs); “Haywire” and “Haywire 2.4”.  Both wireless names will connect you to your private network and the internet.  The difference between the two is the radio frequencies they use.

“Haywire” has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies available.  Your device will select which frequency to use.

“Haywire 2.4”  has 2.4GHz only.

The “Haywire” network should be used by default as it can utilize all available radio bands (2.4 and 5 GHz).

There are two occasions to use the “Haywire 2.4” network:

Some devices like older smart TVs and some IOT devices will work on a 2.4GHz only network.  If your device can only see the 2.4GHz network or can’t connect to the other network, give the “Haywire 2.4” network a try.

If you are experiencing lag or buffering on the “Haywire” network, try the “Haywire 2.4” network. Sometimes devices will choose 5GHz even when the 2.4GHz radio band would work better.  2.4GHz has more range and works better through walls, but has less potential bandwidth.  Using the “Haywire 2.4” network will force your device to use the 2.4ghz radio band.

This is your Wi-Fi access point that allows your wireless devices to connect to the internet.  It is attached to your wall and cannot be removed.  On the bottom of the access point are 3 ethernet ports for connecting any devices using an ethernet cable.

This device connects the ethernet ports on the walls and your Wi-Fi access point to the Haywire network

Your switch is located in this enclosure.  This enclosure is in the closet by the front door and has a lid with 4 screws.

As an initial step to resolve a service outage, a restart of your Haywire Internet equipment is recommended. The steps below should be followed to restart all of the Internet equipment in your Apartment.

1. Locate your equipment enclosure. It is a square in your closet by the front door.
2. Remove the lid by unscrewing the 4 screws.
3. Unplug the ethernet cord in port one of the switch.  (circled in red in the picture).  There is a plastic clip that must be pushed down to remove the cable.
4. Once removed, the blue light on the switch will turn off.  Your Wi-Fi access point on the wall will also lose power.
5. Wait 15 seconds and then plug the cable back in to port 1 again.
6. Wait 3 minutes for the Haywire equipment to start.
