# Customize endpoint/provider

Change your network's configuration to ensure a stable connection.

### 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.

### Personalize your network's endpoint/provider

**Step 1**: On the SubWallet homepage, select the **Settings** tab on the sidebar to get to the settings.

**Step 3**: Customize your provider by clicking the <img src="https://631687399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Lh39Kwxa1xxZM9WX_Bs%2Fuploads%2FIAMQPneShf0fSEjOQzNu%2FScreenshot_67.png?alt=media&amp;token=00a20273-eb5d-479b-9c26-97c66fe81fa5" alt="" data-size="line"> icon next to the network for which you want to customize the provider.

*In this example, we are choosing Astar - EVM.*

**Step 4**: In the Network detail section, click on the provider URL.

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

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to use a provider outside our supported list, click "**Add new provider**".

Check out this [guide](/main/web-dashboard-user-guide/network-management/customize-your-networks/manage-custom-networks.md) on how to add a new provider.

**Step 6**: Click "**Save**".&#x20;
