1.9 Does the router need to be plugged into electricity to work?

Only the Ethernet router (Stay at Home) needs to be permanently connected to the power supply to function. The portable router (On the Go) has a built-in battery that allows it to operate without being plugged in, providing mobility and Internet access anywhere.

1.10 Where is the best place to place the router to maximize coverage?

To optimize the coverage of your Padwifi 4G router at home, consider the following tips:

– Central Location: Place the router in a central position in your home to distribute the signal evenly across all areas.

2.2 How can I check the coverage of Padwifi in the area where I will be staying?

To verify Padwifi coverage in any area of Spain, please visit the Coverage section on our website. There, you will find detailed information about the availability of our services in your location.

2.3 Can I use the router outside of Spain?

No, the Padwifi router can only be used within Spain, including the mainland, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. The router will not work outside Spanish territory. For more information, please refer to our terms and conditions on the Padwifi website.

2.4 What network does Padwifi use in Spain?

Padwifi operates on the Vodafone network in Spain, ensuring extensive coverage and high-quality connectivity throughout the country. To check the specific coverage in your area, visit the Coverage section on our website.

2.5 Is there coverage at sea?

No, there is no coverage at sea. The signal from land-based antennas typically reaches up to 15 nautical miles (about 28 km) from the coast, depending on factors such as antenna location and power.
Beyond this distance, the connection is likely to be lost. However, in coastal areas close to 4G antennas, you may still have some signal. Keep in mind that coverage varies depending on location and specific conditions.

2.6 Is there coverage in the metro (subway)?

Coverage availability in metro systems varies depending on the city and specific metro line. In major cities like Madrid, full metro coverage has been achieved.
However, in other cities, coverage may be partial or nonexistent in certain areas. Some metro locations may also have weak or no signal, affecting the quality of the connection. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a stable connection on all metro networks.

2.7 Is there coverage inside a moving train?

Coverage inside moving trains can vary significantly depending on location and infrastructure. While efforts are being made to improve railway connectivity with 5G solutions, we cannot guarantee stable internet access in all cases.
Factors such as train speed, geography, and proximity to telecom towers impact signal quality.

2.8 Does Padwifi offer good coverage?

Yes, Padwifi provides excellent coverage in Spain by using Vodafone’s extensive mobile network. This ensures a strong connection in most areas. To check specific coverage in your location, visit the Coverage section on this website.

2.9 Will I have coverage in the Canary and Balearic Islands?

Yes, Padwifi offers excellent coverage in the Balearic and Canary Islands, thanks to the Vodafone mobile network. To verify coverage in your exact location, visit the Coverage section of this website.

2.10 How does coverage affect speed?

Coverage quality directly impacts your internet speed. A strong and stable signal allows for optimal speeds, whereas a weak signal may significantly reduce browsing speed.

Factors affecting coverage and speed:

– Distance from the nearest mobile antenna: The further you are from an antenna, the weaker the signal, potentially reducing connection speed.
– Physical obstacles: Buildings, thick walls, and metallic structures can interfere with the signal and negatively impact speed.
– Weather conditions: Heavy rain or storms can weaken radio waves used by mobile networks, affecting internet quality.
– Network congestion: In areas with many users connected at once, the network can become overloaded, reducing available speed per device.

2.11 How does weather affect Padwifi coverage?

Weather conditions can influence Padwifi’s signal quality, as it operates on 4G networks. Below are different weather factors and their impact:

– Heavy rain & storms: Strong precipitation can weaken radio waves, potentially leading to reduced signal quality or temporary service interruptions.
– Fog: Fog consists of tiny water droplets, but its density and size generally do not significantly affect mobile signals.
– Wind: Wind itself does not directly interfere with mobile signals. However, strong gusts could damage antennas or infrastructure, indirectly affecting coverage.
– Extreme temperatures: Very hot or cold weather may impact telecom equipment performance, but infrastructure is designed to withstand normal climate variations.

2.12 Can I use Padwifi in rural areas with limited mobile coverage?

The ability to use Padwifi in rural areas depends on the strength of the 4G signal in that specific location.
Padwifi operates on the Vodafone network, which offers extensive coverage in Spain; however, in remote rural areas, the signal may be weak or nonexistent.
We recommend checking coverage in the Coverage section of this website before subscribing if you plan to use Padwifi in a rural location.

2.13 What do the colors on the coverage map mean?

The colors on the coverage map indicate signal strength in different areas:

– Green: Very strong coverage
– Blue: High coverage
– Red: Low coverage
– No color: No coverage

By complying with this regulation, Padwifi protects both its customers and the integrity of its services.

          7.3 How do you verify my identity?

          Padwifi uses Didit, a leading identity verification system, to carry out the verification process. This system combines official document verification with advanced facial recognition and liveness detection, ensuring that the person requesting the service is who they claim to be. Didit uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze document authenticity and prevent digital fraud, providing a secure and reliable process.

          7.4 What documents are accepted for identity verification?

          To complete the identity verification, the following official photo ID documents are accepted:

          – Passport: Valid and not expired.

          These documents must be in good condition and contain a clear photograph to ensure a successful verification.

          No, at the moment it is not possible to complete the identity verification using a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE). To meet the verification requirements, you must provide either a passport or a National Identity Card (DNI) issued by your country of origin.

          7.6 How long does the identity verification process take?

          The identity verification process is immediate. Once you provide the required documents and complete the necessary steps, the Didit system will process and validate your information instantly, allowing you to quickly access the Padwifi service.

          7.7 What happens if I am unable to verify my identity?

          If you are unable to complete the identity verification, Padwifi will not be able to send you the router required for the service, in compliance with Spanish law. In this case, a full refund will be processed, ensuring that you do not incur any charges for a service that cannot be provided.

          7.8 How does Padwifi protect my personal data during the verification process?

          Protecting your personal data is a top priority for Padwifi. Didit’s identity verification system uses advanced technologies to ensure the security of your information. This includes AI algorithms to analyze document authenticity and prevent digital fraud. Additionally, Didit complies with applicable data protection regulations, ensuring that your information is handled confidentially and securely.

          7.9 How often do I need to verify my identity?

          According to Spanish regulations, each time you subscribe to a new Padwifi plan, you will be required to complete an identity verification. This procedure ensures that all users are properly identified for each subscription, maintaining security and legal compliance at all times.

          7.10 Can I use the service while my identity is being verified?

          No, until your identity has been successfully verified, Padwifi will not be able to send your router, which is necessary to access the service. Therefore, it is essential to complete the verification process before you can start using Padwifi.

          7.11 Who has access to the verification data collected?

          The data collected during the identity verification process is managed exclusively by Didit and Padwifi’s verification department. Both entities are committed to confidentiality and the security of your information, ensuring that your personal data is handled in compliance with data protection regulations.

          7.12 Does Padwifi act as a data controller or data processor?

          In the context of the identity verification process:

          – Didit acts as the data processor, managing the verification process on behalf of Padwifi.
          – Padwifi is the data controller, determining the purposes and means of processing the personal data of its users.

          9 Troubleshooting

          9.1 I can’t connect to the Internet

          If you cannot connect to the internet, try the following steps:

          – Restart the router by turning it off and back on after 10 seconds.
          – Check the coverage to ensure you’re in a 4G network area.
          -Verify your WiFi connection and make sure you’re connected to the correct Padwifi-XXX network.

            If the issue persists, contact us via email or live chat.

            9.2 I can’t see the Padwifi-XXX network

            If the network does not appear in the list of available WiFi networks:

            1. Make sure the router is turned on and the WiFi indicator is active.
            2. Try restarting the router and wait a few seconds.
            3. Move your device closer to the router and check if the network appears.
            4. Check if the default factory network name appears instead. This information can be found:
            – On the bottom of the Ethernet router (Stay at Home).
            – Under the removable cover of the portable router (On the Go).

              This happens when the device is reset to factory settings.

              If you still cannot see the network, contact our technical support team.

              9.3 The portable router turns off

              If your portable router (On the Go) turns off unexpectedly, the battery might not be properly charged:

              ✔ Check if the battery is fully charged. If not, verify the cable and charger, as they are often the cause of this issue.
              ✔ Ensure the router is not overheating, as some devices shut down automatically to prevent damage.

              If the battery is in good condition but the issue persists, contact us for further assistance.

              9.4 If I don’t use the router for a long time, it disconnects from the Internet

              This may happen due to the router’s power-saving feature.

              To prevent this, ensure that you keep an active connection by periodically performing online activities.

              If you want to disable the power-saving feature, please contact our customer support.

              9.5 The power adapter for my Ethernet router is not working

              If your Ethernet router’s (Stay at Home) power adapter is not working, follow these troubleshooting steps:

              ✔ Solution 1: Check the connection

              – Ensure the adapter is properly plugged in to both the power outlet and the router.
              – Try plugging it into a different outlet to rule out a faulty power source.

              ✔ Solution 2: Inspect the adapter’s condition

              – If the adapter shows signs of physical damage (frayed wires, loose connector, overheating), do not use it and contact support for a replacement.

              ✔ Solution 3: Try another compatible adapter

              – If you have another power adapter with the same voltage and amperage, try using it to see if the issue is with the original adapter.

              If the adapter still does not work after these checks, contact our support team for further diagnosis or replacement options.

              9.6 I have no coverage in my location

              ✔ If the coverage map indicated your location as “red” or “white”, you can request a refund minus shipping costs.

              ✔ If the coverage map indicated your location as “green”, we will perform a network verification and provide technical support. If the issue persists after troubleshooting, you may request a full refund.

              9.7 The Padwifi router gets hot while in use. Is this normal?

              Yes, it is completely normal for the router to heat up during operation, especially after several hours of continuous use.

              However, if you notice excessive heat or performance issues, please contact us for further evaluation.

              9.8 My internet speed is slower than expected. What can I do?

              If you experience slower than expected speeds, check the following:

              ✔ Check 4G coverage in your area.
              ✔ Restart the router to refresh the connection.
              ✔ Reduce network congestion by disconnecting unused devices.
              ✔ Change the router’s location within your home for better signal reception.
              ✔ Limit heavy data usage, such as video streaming, to test speed improvements.

              If the issue persists, contact us for support.

              9.9 What happens if I reset the router to factory settings?

              If you reset the router, the SSID (network name) and password will revert to factory defaults.

              ✔ You can find the default WiFi name and password:

              – On the bottom of the Ethernet router (Stay at Home).
              – Under the back cover of the portable router (On the Go).

              ✔ Our support team will lose access to monitor and troubleshoot the router remotely, meaning future support may require manual configuration.

              If you need help after resetting your router, contact our technical support team.

              ⚠ We do not recommend resetting the router to factory settings, as it may affect our ability to provide customer support efficiently.

              9.10 What happens if my router suddenly stops working?

              If your router stops working for no apparent reason, try the following:

              – Restart the router and check if it reconnects.
              – Check for overheating: Routers can sometimes overheat, affecting their performance. Turn it off, let it cool down for a few minutes, then turn it back on to see if it functions properly.

                If the issue persists, contact our technical support team for remote diagnostics.

                ✔ If, after assistance, the router still does not work, we will send you a replacement unit and collect the faulty one at no additional cost.
