What passes for VIPdesk Connect
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 VIPdesk Connect'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 VIPdesk Connect 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 25 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

VIPdesk Connect internet questions, answered
VIPdesk Connect 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 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
No. VIPdesk Connect 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.
VIPdesk Connect does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
