# 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.

<table><thead><tr><th width="165">Wifi icon color</th><th width="176" align="center">Displayed in wallet</th><th>Meaning &#x26; Action needed</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Grey</td><td align="center"><img src="/files/njQDh18DLUdfLKUo2zvM" alt=""></td><td>The network connection is <strong>unavailable</strong>. Please turn off the network and enable it back or change to another provider to restore network connection.</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:yellow;">Yellow</mark></td><td align="center"><img src="/files/5JG1WQQNfTsnVvaHHFsg" alt=""></td><td>The network connection is <strong>unstable</strong>.

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