Move-In Day FAQs
FAQ #1
How do I set up my WiFi and Cable?
Step 1
Find the closet in your Barracks Townhome with your internet hook up. There should already be a modem in the closet. You will need to purchase your own router.

Step 3
Once the modem and router are connected, email [email protected] with your:
- Full Name
- MAC Address (Found on the bottom of the modem)
- Barracks Townhomes Address
- Phone Number
This is our bulk account representative at Optimum. Be on the lookout for a phone call from Optimum to finish setting up your WiFi.
Step 4
Once Optimum confirms your wifi has been set up, you can set up your Cable. Watch this video to learn how to use your TV’s channel scan.
Step 5: To set up extended cable or DVR packages, you can email our bulk account representative at Optimum at [email protected]. You will be billed directly for these additional services.
Should you have any problems with the internet or cable please contact Optimum at (877) 409-1583. Tell them you are with The Barracks Townhomes bulk account and be prepared to give them your modem’s MAC Address.

FAQ #10
Do you offer renter's insurance?
The Barracks Management Group is pleased to announce a new amenity–The Resident Benefits Package. The Resident Benefits Package will be included in next year’s lease if you decide to renew, but given the demand for easy and accessible renter’s insurance, we are offering residents the opportunity to opt in now.
The benefits package includes:
- Renters Insurance – You’ll be added to our master insurance policy. We’ve secured the industry-leading value policy from an A-rated carrier.
- Credit Building – You can now build your credit by renting too! Boost your credit score each time you pay rent on time. We’ll retroactively report your on-time payments to the credit bureaus for up to 24 months.
- Resident Rewards Program – Earn rewards points whenever you pay your rent on time! These points can be used to buy gift cards on the Piñata online marketplace. If you opt in, you will receive a welcome email from Piñata with a link to download their app to your smart device.
- Identity Protection – $1M for all adult leaseholders, complete with a US-based Identity Restoration Specialist.
You can get all this for only $25.95/month, charged with your monthly rent! Email us at l[email protected] if you want to opt in to our Resident Benefits Package.
