While these storms are a natural part of the season, they can pose risks to your home electronics, including your internet equipment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a few simple steps before and during a storm can help protect your gear and ensure you get back online as quickly as possible if an outage occurs.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Unplug During Severe Storms<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most effective way to protect your modem and router from power surges is to unplug them during severe thunderstorms. Lightning strikes can send powerful electrical surges through power lines and even through the connections between your home and the outside world.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you hear thunder or see lightning in your area, unplug your modem and router from the wall outlet. This simple step prevents surge damage that could permanently disable your equipment.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Use a Surge Protector<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you cannot unplug your equipment every time a storm rolls through, use a high-quality surge protector. Plug your modem and router into a surge protector rather than directly into the wall outlet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A surge protector absorbs excess voltage and helps shield your devices from power spikes. Check the rating on your surge protector to ensure it is rated for electronic equipment. Note that surge protectors can wear out over time and should be replaced every few years or if they have absorbed a significant surge.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Keep Equipment Dry and Elevated<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your modem and router in a dry, elevated location. Avoid placing them on the floor where they could be affected by water intrusion if a pipe bursts or if rain enters your home. A shelf or desk in an interior room is often the safest spot.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Secure Outdoor Equipment<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MetaLINK\u2019s fixed wireless internet uses a small receiver installed on the exterior of your home. This equipment is designed to withstand weather conditions, but it is good to be aware of its location. If you have large trees or debris near the receiver, consider trimming branches to reduce the risk of damage from falling limbs during high winds. Do not attempt to repair or move the outdoor equipment yourself. If you suspect damage after a storm, contact MetaLINK support.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>What to Do After the Storm<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the storm has passed and it is safe to do so, plug your equipment back in.<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug in the modem first and wait for the lights to stabilize.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug in the router and wait for it to connect.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test your internet connection on a phone or computer.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your internet does not come back on, or if the indicator lights show an error (such as a red or blinking light), the equipment may have been affected by the storm. In this case, contact MetaLINK support. Our team can check for network outages in your area or schedule a technician to inspect your equipment if needed.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Stay Prepared<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer storms are unpredictable, but a little preparation can go a long way. By unplugging during severe weather, using surge protectors, and knowing how to restart your equipment, you can help keep your internet running smoothly throughout the season.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience an outage after a storm, call MetaLINK support or visit our website for assistance. We are here to help you get back online quickly and safely.<\/span><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6eb92ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6eb92ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metalink.net\/index.php\/reliable-internet-availability\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">GET STARTED WITH METALINK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan brings warm weather, but it also brings thunderstorms, heavy rain, and occasional severe weather.
