Working Solutions internet requirements for work-from-home jobs

Sourced from Working Solutions's published postings and policies · Verified 2026-09-15

Working Solutions does not accept wireless or cellular internet of any kind — its own blog names T-Mobile and Verizon home internet as not allowed — because every client contract prohibits wireless connections. Contractors need DSL, cable, or fiber with a wired Ethernet connection to the computer.

What Working Solutions actually says

“Recently, T-Mobile and Verizon have been heavily advertising their wireless internet offers. While the price and speeds seem fantastic, neither of them is allowed here at Working Solutions.”— Working Solutions — 'Wireless Internet: Not in Our Line of Work, but Why?' · source

Working Solutions' bring-your-own-technology guide adds: 'wireless is convenient, but still not secure for critical applications. You will need wired networking in any machine you choose.'

What passes for Working Solutions

A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit for Working Solutions's requirements: upload speed matches download speed, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.

If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past Working Solutions's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.

Before your Working Solutions tech check

  1. Confirm a wired provider reaches your address (check above).
  2. Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
  3. Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
  4. Run a speed test on the wired line and screenshot it.
