Troubleshooting Connectivity - No connection to Viasat network

There are several reasons for not getting any internet signal, and they range from a network outage on our end to computer and router problems on your end.

  • Heavy thunder or snowstorms can affect service, although it's usually for a brief period.
  • Keep in mind that the internet ground station antenna that serves your location may be in another part of the country, so whether there could impact service even if it's clear where you are.
  •  How will the weather affect my Viasat Internet service?
