This page outlines some resources for getting help with broader computer issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Computer Help==&lt;br /&gt;
NCF is focused on getting you connected to the internet with functional email and the ability to browse web pages. Most other issues regarding your computer setup, handling virus protection, programs, operating systems, setting up a browser or getting basic computer skills are more than the small group of staff and volunteers at NCF can help you with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a busy time just getting everyone connected, and managing connection difficulties, moves and changes to member accounts.  This Wiki page will help you find resources to help with other computer challenges you might face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While NCF does not endorse any specific service listed here, and has not specifically tried them, we hope this list saves you a bit of work in finding a service that works for you. Ask questions about cost up front, and be wary of services that seek only to sell you new tools or gear you may not need. You may want to share your experiences in the NCF Discussion Groups to help others decide too.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; Wi-Fi naming nomenclature was simplified and updated in 2018. You're likely to see 802.11 naming on your device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;4&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; Sales history shows modem which NCF sold as new with full manufacturer's warranty (not donated or refurbished modems). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;5&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; NCF only recommends using the TP-Link TD-W9970 on VDSL plans due to some performance bugs we discovered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; Some versions of these TP-Link Models are vulnerable to the [[Misfortune Cookie Vulnerability|Misfortune Cookie]]. Check for the [[Misfortune Cookie Vulnerability]] recommendation for your modem. &lt;br /&gt;

This page outlines some resources for getting help with broader computer issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Computer Help==&lt;br /&gt;
NCF is focused on getting you connected to the internet with functional email and the ability to browse web pages. Most other issues regarding your computer setup, handling virus protection, programs, operating systems, setting up a browser or getting basic computer skills are more than the small group of staff and volunteers at NCF can help you with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's a busy time just getting everyone connected, and managing connection difficulties, moves and changes to member accounts.  This Wiki page will help you find resources to help with other computer challenges you might face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While NCF does not endorse any specific service listed here, and has not specifically tried them, we hope this list saves you a bit of work in finding a service that works for you. Ask questions about cost up front, and be wary of services that seek only to sell you new tools or gear you may not need. You may want to share your experiences in the NCF Discussion Groups to help others decide too.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Community Access Fund was launched in December 2016 but builds on NCF's history. The Fund will help provide high speed Internet services to people in our community who may have difficulty affording and/or accessing it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CAF will include a number of specific projects and services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ottawa Community Housing Partnership - New Community Access Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
NCF has just announced a new Community Access plan for all Ottawa Community Housing tenants. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plan includes our high-speed DSL internet up to 6mbps, including unlimited usage and free line installation for $25.00 + HST/month. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those without a land-line phone service will also need a dry line, which costs an additional $5.00 + HST per month. They will also need to purchase a modem (refurbished modems are available, but availability and costs vary).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This service was launched on Tuesday, 3 January 2017. Full details of the community access plan are on the [http://www.ncf.ca/caf NCF website] and on this wiki. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who wants to be contacted about the plan when it becomes available should call: 613-721-8445 to leave a message with their name, full mailing address of the address where internet is desired, and contact information or email: caf@ncf.ca. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Some CAF-OCH Details===&lt;br /&gt;
# Applicants for the special offer '''must be existing OCH tenants'''. Their DSL install address must validate against the OCH housing list.&lt;br /&gt;
# All other DSL plans are available to OCH tenants as long as their address is eligible for those plans, but the special cost applies only to the 6M unlimited plan.&lt;br /&gt;
# There are no special prices on new modems as part of this offering. However the following options exist:&lt;br /&gt;
## Purchase a new modem outright - normal approach&lt;br /&gt;
## Purchase a new modem in four (maximum) equal installments&lt;br /&gt;
## Purchase one of our used modems (availability and costs vary - call 613-721-1773 for inventory inquiry)&lt;br /&gt;
## Use a secondhand modem or router. Call 613-721-1773  with the make and model and we can check if it will work with our service.&lt;br /&gt;
#The CAF-OCH plan is possible in part to a gift from the estate of one of NCF's first members, Gunther Abrahamson, and due to ongoing donations from many other members. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
DSL modems obtained from NCF are pre-configured and ready to install by following the steps below; you do not need to use the modem's Set-Up disk.  (If your modem is not pre-configured by NCF, consult the [[Modem Configuration|modem configuration guide]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Install line filters=&lt;br /&gt;
Every device connected to the phone line at your location must have a line filter '''except the DSL modem'''.  Devices that must be connected via a filter include phones, fax machines, satellite receivers, alarm systems, and dial-up computer modems. Alternatively, you can use one filter for your entire location (see [[Home Wiring]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PhoneLineFilter.png|center|frame|Every device (except the DSL modem) needs a line filter]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Connect the DSL modem=&lt;br /&gt;
Connect the DSL modem directly (with '''no filter''') to a phone jack using the supplied phone line cable and to your computer with an ethernet cable (if you are using ethernet). Plug in the modem power supply. For best performance, use only the phone line provided with the modem. Locate it away from sources of electrical interference and ensure that it has good ventilation for cooling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DslModemPhoneComputer.png|center|frame|Connect modem to phone line and computer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Connect the Cable modem=&lt;br /&gt;
For Cable modems, please consult the [[Cable Modem Manuals|cable modem manuals]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Power up the modem and use the Internet=&lt;br /&gt;
Turn the modem on using the push-button switch located on the back of the modem. The lights on the modem should come on right away and within a few minutes they should turn green.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your modem is from NCF, it will be pre-configured and ready to go. Your computer should now be able to browse the internet. See [[Modem Lights]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally DSL modems are left on continuously to ensure your connection is there when you need it. If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time it can be turned off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Wireless=&lt;br /&gt;
If you have a modem that supports wireless access, it is pre-configured by NCF to operate with high security (WPA-PSK mode), which requires a password.  The green WLAN light on the modem indicates the modem is ready for wireless access, and the modem should now appear on the list of access points available to your computer. When you try to make a connection, you will need to provide the WPA-PSK key that is printed on the bottom of your modem (also printed on a label on your modem's Setup disk) in the case of SpeedTouch modems or using your NCF [[DSL password]] (all other types of modems). For more details about wireless, consult your [[Modem Manuals|modem's manual]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Doing more=&lt;br /&gt;
DSL modems generally have features to support more than the standard operation enabled above. For special circumstances and doing more, have a look at the [[Modem Manuals|modem's manual]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Problems?=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The modem lights usually indicate what is wrong. See [[Modem Lights]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your modem is not detecting a DSL signal, indicated by the DSL light not becoming solid green within a few minutes, here are some possible solutions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* If this is a new installation, maybe Bell has not yet turned on the DSL service on your line. Which day were you told DSL service could be expected to start? (the 'activation date')&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Check the connections. If you have a landline telephone, make sure there is phone service to the wall jack where the modem is to be connected.&lt;br /&gt;
*If a landline telephone is not available, check the wireless networks available on your devices. Yours should look like NCF_XXXX with XXXX being the last 4 digits of your modem's Serial Number&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Try the [[Troubleshooting|troubleshooting]] procedures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there are still problems: see [http://www.ncf.ca/ncf/support/ NCF Help] and especially [http://www.ncf.ca/ncf/dg/index.jsp?dg=82 the DSL Help Desk] discussion group.&lt;br /&gt;
