What if I have an Education or Enterprise edition of Windows?

How do I know my ISP connection speed will pass testing?

  • To test your ISP connection speed, please complete the brief technical scan, which is part of our agent application.
  • If your download speed fails to meet the minimum standard, contact your ISP (Internet service provider) to see what your optimal speed is and to determine if an upgrade is needed.

Can my computer be on a wireless connection?

No. Due to the sensitivity of client software, systems and connections, we cannot support wireless connectivity. During work hours, the wireless connection adapter should be turned off or disabled to ensure that all Internet traffic only goes through your wired connection. Please become familiar with the wireless adapter settings or physical on/off switches on your machine so you may make these changes as needed.

Are personal or anonymizing VPN services OK?

No: All connections to Working Solutions systems and WSOL client systems must be directly through your internet service provider.
