# Customize endpoint/provider

### Understand network status

The connection of a network will not always be stable. When a network experiences high traffic or the endpoint/provider becomes unstable, network congestion may occur, making users unable to make any transactions on that network.

For each network, there are 3 network statuses that can occur. At SubWallet, we differentiate these statuses by displaying them with different wifi icon colors.

If your selected network has only one provider, consider adding another provider/endpoint to rotate when the connection becomes unstable/lagging.
