You were working. Things were just fine. A landscaper puts a shovel through your buried internet cabling or tree limbs drop and kill a neighborhood\u2019s internet. Or the inexplicable happens, and the little green light on the cable modem goes red. You are, as the sailors say when a ship\u2019s engine becomes quiet, dead in the water. <\/em>What now?<\/p>\n

Most remote work depends on access to a reliable internet connection, and for lots of people, especially for hourly or clocked workers, no internet means no pay. That means finding a way to get back online quickly, either at home or elsewhere. The goal, given the interruption, is to stay in business, be employed, and have a reliable backup plan after the internet outage swear words are spoken. It\u2019s for this reason that a bug-out bag of all the cables, gear, and even a sweater (for unregulated air conditioning) can put you back in business quickly. <\/p>\n

Staying connected at home<\/h2>\n

The easiest way to navigate a temporary outage is to tether from your smartphone. All modern smartphones have a Wi-Fi hotspot feature that lets you share their data connection with other devices, though many phone plans limit its usefulness. <\/p>\n

You can turn on your hotspot in your phone\u2019s Settings menu. On an iPhone, look for Personal Hotspot <\/strong>in the main Settings menu. On Samsung phones, go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Hotspot and Tethering<\/strong>, and on other Android phones, it\u2019s often in Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering<\/strong>. Change or copy the password, then connect your laptop to the phone\u2019s Wi-Fi SSID, and you should be in business.<\/p>\n

Even \u201cunlimited\u201d phone plans will throttle your hotspot speed after a certain point. That point is usually separate from your overall high-speed data allowance and can range from around 5GB a month to over 40GB. After that, you\u2019ll be limited to 3G speeds or lower. Transferring large files can burn through your hotspot allowance, but the real killer is video calls: a one-hour Zoom meeting can use over a gigabyte of data. If you take a lot of calls, plan to dial in using a phone until your internet comes back. All major video calling platforms support dial-in numbers, though you may have to ask the meeting host or your company\u2019s IT department to enable them. <\/p>\n
