One of the most common reasons for internet connection malfunctions is an issue with the router. Fortunately, it can often be solved by simply rebooting the router.
Your wireless router will have a series of icons that mean different things. Grab your user manual to find out what each icon represents. You want to pay attention to the one that designates connection to the internet. If that light is off, the Wi-Fi isn’t channeling an internet connection. If it’s on, the internet service itself isn’t working. Before you do anything else, restart your router and modem. You might have just temporarily hit a bug, and the quick reboot will fix it.
Network configuration is the process of setting up a network's controls, flow, and operation to support the network to communicate. This broad term incorporates multiple setup processes on network hardware, software, and other supporting devices and components.
Usually, when you buy a wireless router or a new phone, the settings are automatically sent to you by your network provider or they come pre-installed on the device. But sometimes you might find yourself switching networks for better deals at which point you need the new service provider’s internet settings.
In that case, you need to check and ensure that everything is properly configured. That can usually be done through the settings table on your device. Resetting or updating the settings might be the way to fix the problem. The steps vary depending on what kind of device you’re using (PC, Mac, version of Windows, etc.) so it would be best to take a look at the manual for your specific device and follow the steps specified there to solve the issue.
Sometimes, it’s the device that is causing the problem rather than the network itself. To double-check, try another device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, and see if it will connect to Wi-Fi. If a different device connects, that means it is not the internet that’s faulty. There are a few steps you can take to fix the problem:
