How to Resolve Dual-Path Communication Failure - Broadband

The Dual-Path Communication Failure - Broadband trouble condition indicates the panel is unable to communicate with Alarm.com through the broadband network.

There are several possible reasons the broadband communication is not connected to Alarm.com:

  • The router is not connected to the internet or is not receiving power.
  • For panels with built-in Wi-Fi communication, the panel cannot connect to the router
  • For panels that use a bridge for broadband connection, ensure the bridge is powered up and is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
  • If the panel allows for a static IP, make sure the values entered are correct.
