What Carenet Health actually says
“Wi-Fi cannot be used. You will need an Ethernet cable connecting the modem to the computer to test the results for the Internet speed. Must be a minimum of 20 mbps download speed and a minimum of 10 mbps for upload speed.”— Carenet Health — Healthcare Customer Service Representative, Remote (via GoWFH) · source
Also requires a Windows PC (no Mac/tablet) with dual monitors and a built-in Ethernet port. Carenet Health has more recently active postings on its own careers site (careers-carenethealthcare.icims.com) with likely similar requirements.
What passes for Carenet Health
A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit: upload speed matches download, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.
If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past Carenet Health's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.
Before your Carenet Health tech check
- Confirm a wired provider reaches your address.
- Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
- Run a speed test on the wired line (target: at least 20 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Carenet Health internet questions, answered
No. Carenet Health requires your work computer to be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable. A strong Wi-Fi signal does not satisfy the rule, because the check looks at how the computer is connected rather than how fast the line is.
At least 20 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
Carenet Health does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
Carenet Health does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
