Unbreakable Wi-Fi installation FAQs

An internet outage occurs when your Frontier Internet service is interrupted, but your home still has power. During an internet outage, the Unbreakable Wi-Fi device uses a cellular connection to automatically provide devices connected to your Wi-Fi network with access to the internet.

To use Unbreakable Wi-Fi during a network outage, you’ll need:

  • An active subscription to the Unbreakable Wi-Fi service
  • Power to your home and your Unbreakable Wi-Fi device
  • Available data

You can select which devices you want to keep connected to Unbreakable Wi-Fi in the eero app by turning Allow Internet Backup on or off for each selected device. Please note, your devices must be charged or have an external power source to connect to Backup Internet.

Unbreakable Wi-Fi uses cellular connectivity and is subject to availability and coverage in your area.

Extra data charges may apply. Cellular data is provided by a third-party carrier. Coverage, uptime, technology, and speeds will vary. May require backup power if the power goes out. Visit frontier.com/unbreakablewifi for more details.

Unbreakable Wi-Fi includes 130GB of monthly data. What you can do with 130GB of data:

  1. Watch approx. 60 hours (about 5 days) of streaming video (Netflix, Hulu, or Prime Video).
  2. Video chat on Zoom for approx. 80 hours (about 7 days).

If you’ve used all of your included data, your backup connection will turn off and your internet-connected devices won’t connect to your Wi-Fi through the backup device. Your data allowance will not refresh until the next billing cycle.

Unbreakable Wi-Fi should be able to connect to cellular coverage in almost all Frontier Fiber areas. The device includes a cellular signal strength indicator. If you live in an area with a very poor or no signal, you may not be able to use the device. You should test the device for signal quality when you receive it. If you have poor signal quality, you can chat for assistance in placing the device to receive a better signal. If the problem cannot be resolved, you may call us to cancel the service at no cost within 30 days of your order.
