How to check coverage at your address
E-link cannot confirm coverage. Use these steps with the provider directly.
- 01For fibre, ask MTN to check the exact address — a mobile signal does not imply a fibre line.
- 02For a MiFi or 4G router, check signal strength at the window where the device will sit.
- 03Ask which plans are available in your area, because fibre and mobile bundles differ by location.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between WakaNet fibre and WakaNet MiFi?
Fibre is a physical cable to your home. MiFi is a portable router that uses the 4G mobile network — quicker to set up, but dependent on local signal.
Can I take a MiFi router with me?
That is the main advantage of a 4G router: there is no cable installation. Confirm roaming or portability terms with MTN before relying on it.
Does a strong MTN mobile signal mean fibre is available?
No. Mobile coverage and fibre availability are separate networks. Always ask for a fibre-specific check.
