How
ipStore technical support works
The
ipStore support for our customers will do its best to
provide you optimal assistance for solving your DSL
problem.
Below are
a few steps on how to get the most efficient support:
1)
Check if it is a device problem: Please check
your ISP settings first: username, password,
pre-registration and availabilities of the xDSL
subscription line. Make sure that there is no network
problem affecting your service. Don’t hesitate to
make a call to your Internet Service Provider first
to be sure. Please note that ipStore Support doesn’t
have a telephone list of ISP support helpdesks.
2) Use your documentation: Did you read the
manual? Did you visit support forums? For Thomson
Gateway (SpeedTouch) products have you
read the FAQs online? Try doing this first; usually you can solve your
problem by spending only a few minutes online or by
looking at your user guide.
3) Be
Prepared: Solving technical issues requires
information; the more information you can provide,
the better. Here are a few things you should have
with you when making a call:
a)
Product Information:
i.
Model No., Product part No, and Serial No.
(typically located on the label at the bottom of
your DSL product)
b)
Software version
c) A
good description of your computer environment: What
are you using in your network? For PC's or MACs,
please be ready to provide Hardware description /
OS description
d) What
were you doing when the problem occurred?
i.
Specific steps you made before the problem
ii.
Error Messages: Often you will have received an
error message. Please make sure you note this
down (It can also be very useful to make
screenshots of these error messages.)
iii.
With what frequency are you experiencing this
problem?
4) Be
ready: We will do our best to solve your issue on
the first call. That’s why you should;
i.
ensure that it is no default ISP setting parameter,
nor network problem affecting your service.
ii.
have the devices with you, have your ISP username
and password settings, and be in front of your
machine when calling us.
5)
Driver/firmware request: All available software
is published on
our main support page. For all other software you should refer to your ISP!
6) RMA
and warranty request: If it is necessary to
return the device after all possible support has been
exhausted, then you can request an RMA by contacting
ipStore support and return the unit to the address given.
NOTE: Please attach a description of the problem
experienced with the unit instead of writing on the
modem and/or modem box.
7) Purchasing order or request: Please contact
sales for price and availability.
