What ModSquad actually says
“Please note: In order to move forward with this opportunity, your device (desktop or laptop) must have at least 16 GB RAM, and your internet must have a download speed of 50 MBPS or greater. ... Must be connected to ethernet while working on this project.”— Built In — ModSquad Remote Customer Support (Higher Education client) posting · source
ModSquad staffs flexible, self-scheduled contractor support work (as little as 15 hours/week on this project); internet and hardware requirements vary by client project — other ModSquad projects (e.g. music streaming support) have specified 25 Mbps as their minimum.
What passes for ModSquad
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 ModSquad'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 ModSquad 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 50 Mbps down) and screenshot it.

ModSquad internet questions, answered
ModSquad permits Wi-Fi on some programs, but the connectivity scan during onboarding is run on a wired connection. Plan for Ethernet at the desk.
At least 50 Mbps download. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
ModSquad does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
ModSquad does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
