Liveops requires a wired internet connection via Ethernet cable with no Wi-Fi and no satellite. Minimums are 20 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload, and your computer must have an Ethernet port or a USB Ethernet adapter. VPNs are not permitted during the tech check.
What Liveops actually says
“Wired internet connection via an Ethernet cable (No WiFi or Satellite connectivity). Internet Download Speed: Minimum 20 Mbps or higher. Internet Upload Speed: Minimum 5 Mbps or higher.”— Liveops — Agent Requirements & Eligibility · source
Liveops runs an automated Tech Check before you can pick up an opportunity. Its own prep guide says: 'You will need to be connected to the internet via an ethernet cord to your modem or router. Wi-Fi is not supported.'
What passes for Liveops
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 Liveops'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.
Liveops opportunities are limited to eligible states, and eligibility varies by client program.
Before your Liveops 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 / 5 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Liveops internet questions, answered
No. Liveops 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 5 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
No. Liveops excludes satellite service by policy, regardless of the speeds it delivers. This is a rule about connection type, so no speed test will get you past it.
Liveops opportunities are limited to eligible states, and eligibility varies by client program. Availability is set by Liveops, not by your internet — a wired connection will not make you eligible in an excluded location, so check this before you order service.
No. Hotspots and 5G home internet are cellular services that share capacity on a tower, so Liveops cannot guarantee a shift on them. They are excluded even when a speed test looks good.
