What passes for Pearl Interactive Network
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 Pearl Interactive Network'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 Pearl Interactive Network 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 40 Mbps down / 5 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

Pearl Interactive Network internet questions, answered
No. Pearl Interactive Network 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 40 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. Pearl Interactive Network 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.
Pearl Interactive Network does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
