Can I connect devices to my router via a cable?
Yep, you can — you will need an Ethernet cable to connect the access point to the router. The cable should be inserted into a LAN port on the router and into the main Ethernet port on the access point. Please do not switch cables around; our installers will show you where the cable should be connected.
How do I connect my TV to my Prime Router?
Keen to Netflix and chill? You can connect to Ikeja Prime via cable or wirelessly, depending on how Smart your TV is. Please refer to the TV user manual for a step-by-step guide.
How many devices can I connect to my router?
We recommend connecting six devices at a time to consider the speed.
How do I upgrade/downgrade my package?

A package upgrade/downgrade is immediate on a monthly cycle and you can do that once a month before but no later than the day your subscription payment is due. Please contact our support team should you want to increase or decrease your speed.
How do I change my details on the account?
We all go through changes in life; you may have switched to a new phone, changed your email account to sound more professional or even upgraded your surname.
Whatever the change is, chat to our support team via our support lines and we will be able to make changes to your account whenever you need to.
We will ask a few security questions to make sure we are changing the details at the request of the account owner.

Account Payments
Everything you need to know about how to make payments for your Prime account.
What is my billing cycle?
As an ikeja Prime or Wave/Speed household user, your service runs on a monthly prepaid cycle.
This means your payment covers access from the 1st day of the month to the last day of the month, or from your installation date until the end of that month.
Payments should be made before the 1st of each month, which serves as the cut-off date for continued connection.
If you’re installed partway through a month, we’ll apply a pro-rata adjustment to your first payment.
What does “pro-rata” mean?
“Pro-rata” means we only charge you for the portion of the month you actually use when you first get connected.
Example:
If your Wi-Fi is installed on the 20th, and you’ve already paid the full monthly fee of R350 on sign up, or you received the first month free, we’ll carry over the unused 10 days (worth R117) to your next month’s balance.
So, you’ll effectively start the next month with R233 due instead of R350.
(Calculation: 10 ÷ 30 × 350 = R117 → R350 – R117 = R233)
What happens if I pay after the 1st?
You must make payment before the 7th of the month you are paying for.
If you can’t make payment before the 7th, please contact support so we can assist before your service is suspended.
What if my account is in arrears?
If your account is in arrears, you’ll need to pay:
- The remaining pro-rata balance for the current month’s service, and
- The full payment for the upcoming month.
This ensures your service is brought up to date and your slot on the network is secured.
Example:
You missed your October payment, and it’s now November 16th.
To reconnect, you’ll need to pay:
- The pro-rata balance for November (for example, half the month’s service — around R175 if your monthly fee is R350), plus
- Your full December payment (R350).
In total, you’d pay R525 to bring your account back up to date and restore your connection.
If your account remains unpaid for two full months, it will be handed over to collections, In some cases, we may need to uninstall your equipment to free up network slots for paying customers.

Troubleshooting (Hotspot)
A quick guide to troubleshooting hotspot related issues.
Where do I find a hotspot?
If ikeja has coverage in your area, you’ll find a hotspot almost anywhere.
Scan for Wi-Fi networks: depending on your area look for “ikeja wireless” or “#ikeja R5 wifi” or “ikeja wave hotspot”
Hotspot range ≈ 100 m but projects triangularly in one direction — direction matters for signal strength.
The hotspot I connect to is no longer working. What can I do?
Possible reasons: no power, the home user you are connected to has turned their equipment off, or equipment moved.
Contact Hotspot WhatsApp Support: 066 472 1628 and provide:
- Hotspot User ID
- Photo of last voucher (if you have it)
- Device MAC address (format 00:00:00:00:00:00).
If unsolved remotely, a field team will be sent.
The signal is weak when I connect. What can I do?
Weak signal may be due to distance or tower issues. Move closer to the pole and test again. If still bad, WhatsApp 066 472 1628 with:
- Hotspot User ID
- Photo of voucher
- Device MAC address.
A team will be sent if needed.
