Can I use my own router?
The GCET wireless gateway will provide you with both wireless and Ethernet connectivity, but you can certainly use your own personal router in addition to the GCET gateway. During the installation, let us know if you would prefer to use your own router and we will disable the GCET Wi-Fi. Please note our customer service […]
What times are available for installations?
We schedule our installations for a four-hour window from 8AM-12PM or 12PM-4PM, Monday through Friday, but most of our installations are no more than 90 minutes.
What does the installation process for internet service look like?

How long does the installation take?
Most installations typically take an hour to an hour-and-a-half to complete. If there are special circumstances that would prevent you from being available (e.g. you need to leave early for an appointment), let us know when scheduling your installation and we can work with you to find a specific time if needed.
Do I have to be home while the installation is happening?
Yes – you or another authorized adult (18+) must be available for the entire installation window or our technician won’t be able to complete the installation (it’s a legal thing). If you know you won’t be available, we can work with you to reschedule your installation time.
How do I reschedule my installation time?
If you know that you won’t be available for your scheduled installation time, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help you reschedule. We do ask for at least 24 hours’ notice before the installation would have taken place.
