# Tunnel Tablet Issues

> Keep cars moving by quickly diagnosing a stalled tunnel tablet.

The tunnel tablet runs the [Wash Queue](/operations/transactions/wash-queue) and
polls your FlexWash Coordinator continuously for the latest queue. When it cannot
reach the Coordinator, the tablet cannot load cars and washing stops.

## Recognizing the Problem

The most common sign is an error on the Wash Queue screen:

You may also see the page fail to open at all. Both point to the same root
cause: the tablet cannot reach the Coordinator.

## Isolating the Issue

Because the tablet depends on a live connection to the Coordinator, the failure
almost always falls into one of three categories:

* **Bad network signal.** If the tablet is on WiFi, weak or intermittent signal
  can drop the connection.
* **Bad wire.** If the tablet uses ethernet, a faulty cable or port can break the
  connection.
* **Coordinator offline.** If the Coordinator is down, no device on the network
  can reach it.

### Test the Network Connection

Connect a different device to the same network connection the tablet uses and try
to open the [Wash Queue](/operations/transactions/wash-queue#link). If the second
device also fails to load the queue, the problem is with the network/wire or the
Coordinator, not the tablet.

### Test Internet Access

From that same device, try to open any public website.

* **The public site loads.** Your network is working, so the issue is with the
  Coordinator. Continue with the support steps below.
* **The public site fails.** The network itself is down. Check the WiFi signal or
  the ethernet wire and port.

## Next Steps

If the network is healthy but the Coordinator is unreachable, the problem is on
the Coordinator. See [On Prem Issues](/technical/troubleshooting/prem-issues).
