LIMITED WARRANTY – BATTERY FOR BELL FIBRE EQUIPMENT

Limited Warranty. Bell Canada (including Bell Aliant, a division of Bell Canada) (“Bell”) warrants to you as the original purchaser (“Purchaser” or “you”) the battery purchased for the Fibre Equipment (“Original Battery”) for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase of the Original Battery from Bell (“Warranty Period”) when used in the Fibre Equipment (“Warranty”). “Fibre Equipment” means the Home Hub 3000 modem or UPS (uninterruptible power supply), as applicable, provided by Bell in connection with certain of your Bell services. If the Original Battery fails due to a defect during the Warranty Period, Bell will replace the Original Battery with a new or refurbished battery (“Replacement Battery”). Any warranty coverage that remains during the Warranty Period on the Original Battery (when replaced with a Replacement Battery under this Warranty) will apply to the Replacement Battery. No Replacement Battery has any new or separate warranty coverage. Bell reserves the right to limit the number of Replacement Batteries provided to Purchaser during the Warranty Period.

My Battery Isn’t Working. What Should I Do? Ontario and Québec residents please call Bell at 1 866 310 BELL (2355) and residents of the Atlantic provinces please call 1 866 342-7367, so that Bell can confirm that the Original Battery is within the Warranty Period and attempt to diagnose and correct the malfunction over the telephone. Be sure to keep your proof of purchase to establish the date of purchase of the Original Battery; otherwise Bell may have to estimate the date of purchase.

Limited Warranty Exclusions. This Warranty does not cover any Original Battery or Replacement Battery (each, a Battery) that is:

  • damaged due to: abuse, neglect, misuse, accident, theft, vandalism, force majeure events (e.g. fire, flooding, infestation, freezing, power-surge), overcharging or alteration; improper or unauthorized repair, maintenance, installation, set-up or storage; or accessories, wiring or cabling;
  • merely discharged and can be recharged and returned to service;
  • in Fibre Equipment at a location other than a Bell service address or in a modem or device other than the Fibre Equipment; or
  • not owned by the Purchaser.

Exclusive Warranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law (which may vary province to province) and except where prohibited for Québec residents, this Warranty is exclusive and is in lieu of all other warranties, representations, guarantees, terms and conditions, express and/or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In addition to the rights described in this Warranty, Purchaser may also have other legal rights (which may vary province to province).

Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law and except where prohibited for Quebec residents, Bell's total cumulative maximum liability for negligence, breach of contract, tort or any other claims or causes of action, including fundamental breach, in connection with any Battery or this Warranty is limited to payment, upon request, for actual and direct damages up to a maximum amount equal to the purchase price of the Original Battery, and all other damages, including without limitation indirect, special, consequential, incidental, economic, exemplary or punitive damages, are excluded. You may also be subject to other limitations and exclusions of liability, and obligations, as set out in any Bell terms of service that apply to you. These terms survive the expiry of the Warranty.

Severability; Assignment; Effective Date; Agreement. If any provision of this Warranty is unenforceable, all remaining provisions of this Warranty remain in full force and effect. This Warranty is not assignable by Purchaser. Original Warranty applies only to batteries purchased on or after April 23, 2017 until amended or superceded by Bell. You accept the terms of this Warranty on the earlier of the date you receive a copy or use the Original Battery. If you do not agree with the terms of this Warranty, you have 30 days from the date of your original purchase to return the Original Battery to Bell, unused, for a refund.

More Information. For more information, Ontario and Québec residents should visit www.bell.ca/battery or call Bell at 1 866 310 BELL (2355). Atlantic residents please visit www.bellaliant.ca/battery or call 1 866 342 7367.

Recycling instructions
Bell supports provincial battery recycling programs by remitting Environmental Handling Fees for designated products. For more information about the designated battery types and recycling depot locations, please visit the Call2recycle web-site http://www.call2recycle.ca/.

  4. Touch Add a user.

What is the Bell Wi-Fi app?

The Bell Wi-Fi app lets you control, manage and monitor your home Wi-Fi network from anywhere at any time. The Bell Wi-Fi app is available for all customers with our Home Hub 3000 or Home Hub 2000 modems.

Features include:

  • Manage your Wi-Fi network name and password
  • Share your Wi-Fi network with guests
  • See all the devices connected to your network
  • Check Wi-Fi signal strength throughout your network
  • Manage parental controls, such as temporarily blocking Internet access or setting recurring access schedules
  • Run speed tests on your device
  • Install Whole Home Wi-Fi pods


Installing the Bell Wi-Fi app

Installing the Bell Wi-Fi app

The Bell Wi-Fi app is available to all customers with our Home Hub 3000 or Home Hub 2000 modems. The app is free to download on Apple or Android smartphones. It requires Apple iOS 9.1 or higher, or Android OS 4.1 or higher.

To get the app:

  • Search for Bell Wi-Fi in the app store for your mobile device.
  • Download and install the app.
  • Log in to the app one of two ways:
    • Best – Log in with your MyBell username and password. This gives you access to all features of the app and lets you log in without having to be connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
    • Easiest – Automatically log in to the app when you are connected to your home Wi-Fi network. This will limit your access to features like setting Internet blocks or accessing user profiles.

Troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network

Troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network

If you are experiencing problems with your Wi-Fi network, start by looking at how well each of your devices connects to your home network. The Bell Wi-Fi app monitors your network to give you a connection quality rating for each device, and to show you when there is a problem. 

To view your device connection quality:

  1. Open the Bell Wi-Fi app and log in with your MyBell username and password.
  2. Touch Devices at the bottom of the home screen.
  3. Select the device you want to troubleshoot. The connection quality rating will appear under the device name, along with what channel it’s on and which Wi-Fi pod or modem it’s connected to.

Quality ratings:

  • Excellent – All applications should run properly.
  • Good – All applications should run without major impairments. You may see some buffering for high-speed applications, like 4K video streaming.
  • Fair – Not ideal for real-time applications or high throughput applications, like 4K video streaming.
  • Poor – Your device is not communicating well with the network. Real-time applications such as video calling or streaming may suffer.

Channels:

  • 2.4 GHz – 2.4 GHz channels are slower than 5 GHz but have more range
  • 5 GHz – 5 GHz channels are faster than 2.4 GHz but have less range

Less than excellent connection quality can be caused by many things, such as how far the device is from the modem, interference, what channel it’s using, or the speed tier of your Internet package.

To improve your connection quality rating, try:

  • Toggling your device’s Wi-Fi off and on – This will reconnect the device to the network and let it choose to the best channel.
  • Rebooting your device – This will reset the device’s connection to the network and let it choose the best channel.
  • Moving the device closer to the modem or away from anything that may cause interference (e.g. metal appliances, other devices, etc.)
  • Rebooting your modem

Try these steps one by one, checking the connection quality after each attempt until you see an improvement. The connection quality rating should refresh every minute.

More ways to improve Wi-Fi speed
For more information on how to improve your Wi-Fi speed, visit the Optimize my Wi-Fi Speed page.
If you have Whole Home Wi-Fi pods, visit Troubleshooting Whole Home Wi-Fi pods to learn how the quality rating applies to your pods.
