Frequently Asked Questions
Andrena provides high-speed Internet at a fraction of the cost. We're able to do this because instead of relying upon telephone poles and underground cables to bring you Internet, we employ the latest wireless Internet technologies. With a fiber backbone, we deploy a series of antennas to spread Internet across a geography. Using previously deployed infrastructure or our proprietary in-home router, we then allow residential and commercial customers to tap into our network wirelessly.
Guess again. Because of our unique technology, we are able to bring Internet to your home or business more efficiently than your existing Internet provider, which means that we can share the savings with you. Our service starts at $25 per month with no hidden fees, no equipment rentals, the first month of Andrena Internet is free, and service is on a month-to-month basis so you can cancel whenever (though we hope you'll stick around!).
If your building already has Andrena’s pre-installed hardware, you can choose between two options: $25 per month for up to to 100 mbps or $40 per month for up to 200 mbps. Your first month is free, and there are no router or installation costs, taxes, or any other hidden fees. All billing is month-to-month and there are no cancellation fees.
At Andrena, our Internet packages start at $25 per month for up to 50 mbps of wireless Internet. We believe that we should advertise speeds that we can realistically provide to you wirelessly. As compared to other providers who advertise wired speeds -- if you were to connect your device directly to your router -- we choose to advertise wireless speeds. For a speed reference, Netflix recommends a 5 mbps for a high-definition stream. Please note that at times your Internet speeds will be above or below your selected plan based on normal fluctuations in the network.
If you require any in-home hardware you will schedule an installation time during the registration process. At the designated time, a member of our installation team will arrive and will install our hardware that only requires a single outlet. The setup of our router takes approximately 30 minutes.
Andrena takes security and the protection of your personal information very seriously. To that end, we have designed our hardware, software, and network infrastructure from the ground up, using the latest innovations in network security. Once you set up your network information during sign up or through your dashboard, our firewall works with it behind the scenes so that no one else has access to it, isolating your data from everyone else’s.
You've come to the right place. Cord-cutting starts with an amazing Internet experience and at Andrena we focus on doing just that. While you may already subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, or any of the other streaming services, for many of our customers, TV and phone services are still important. But never fear, you're still in luck. With services like fuboTV, Sling TV, Pluto TV, Ooma, and Vonage, you can have your cord-cutting cake and eat it too, with streaming and voice over IP (VOIP) services that take the place of your existing provider's triple play package.
If you need a hard-wired connection and you do not have one in your unit, just let us know and we are happy to coordinate a time to install a device that will provide you with an ethernet port that you can use.

When you create an Andrena account you create a personalized WiFi network with the network name and password of your choosing. Depending on where you are located, however, AndrenaWiFi may still appear as an available network and you can use either AndrenaWiFi or your personalized network for Internet.
As an Andrena subscriber, you have access to Andrena Internet wherever it is available by simply selecting the AndrenaWiFi network when it appears (if you don’t already connect automatically). In your home, we recommend using your personalized WiFi network across all of your devices.
For our customers that live in a building wired for Andrena and don't require any in-home hardware, you will notice that when you create an account a _5G network will appear. This network uses the same password as your non-5G network and, in general, this network will have faster speeds and we recommend using it for streaming, gaming, and other bandwidth-intensive activities.
Nope! Andrena Internet has no monthly or annual data caps. Feel free to browse and stream to your heart's content!

No, Andrena does not use 5G technology in your building. While you might have a "5G" network, this is simply shorthand for 5 GHz WiFi, which is a networking system that operates in the five-gigahertz radio band. This type of technology has been in use since 1999. 5G as commonly advertised today is a new cellular standard, whereas 5GHz WiFi is an established home networking system.
