When using the TV the user may experience buffering issues. The problem is seen by the buffering of the image while the circle with the sign buffering appears. 

This problem is most frequently caused with overload of the internet connection (several devices connected to the internet), low internet flow from the provider towards the user or general weak connection which the user owns as per the contract with the provider. 

The safest way to test the speed is through the MTEL box and within MTEL TV app (main menu-settings-speed test). 

Sometimes you need to mechanically restart the MTEL box, by pulling out and returning the cable in the device or restarting the internet router. 

In case you need help in solving the technical disturbances, contact MTEL Customer Support.

dropdown arrow

No network connection may be caused by several reasons these are the most frequent one: 

- Internet cable is partially pulled out from the MTEL box, there is an interruption of connection. 

- Internet cable is out of the router, there is an interruption of the connection. 

- User currently has no internet connection. 

- MTEL box has not been used for 2-3 months and has not downloaded the necessary updates. 


Solution for issues 1 and 2: When the cable is pulled out partially or entirely from the STB device, the internet is not reaching the box. If the cable is poor quality or the plug coming into the router and STB is broken or damaged, this may be a frequent problem. Try putting back the cable in the MTEL box and router. If the cable is damaged, you need to replace it. 

Solution for problem 3: Check whether the other devices connected to the home WiFi Internet (laptop, computer, mobile phone) have internet. Then contact your provider and check why there is no internet connection. 

Solution for problem 4: MTEL box is updated from time to time. These are necessary for operating. If the STB is turned off for a few months, it could happen that a necessary update has not been downloaded when it should have. This results in a message on the screen “It is not possible to establish an internet connection.” 

This issue is solved by leaving the MTEL box turned on for about 8 to 10 hours (during that time the message “It is not possible to establish an internet connection” will remain on the screen. During this period, device will download the necessary update. As soon as the MTEL box downloads the update, a starting screen will appear and you will be able to access TV, Radio, and other content available as part of your Package. 

In case you need assistance in solving technical disturbances, contact MTEL Customer Support.
