Facing issues with Internet

Facing issues with Internet

  1. 1. Restart Your Router and Modem:
    Unplug both devices from the power outlet, wait for 30 seconds, and then plug them back in. This clears temporary errors and allows the devices to reconnect.
     
  2. 2. Check Physical Connections:
    Ensure all cables are securely plugged into the router, modem, and your device. 
    A loose cable can cause connectivity issues.
     
  3. 3. Test on Another Device:
    If one device is not connecting but others are, the issue may be with that specific device, not the network.
     
  4. 4. Check Your Device's Wi-Fi Settings:
    Make sure your device is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network and that Wi-Fi is enabled.
     
  5. 5. Run a Network Troubleshooter:​
    Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can automatically diagnose and fix common network problems.
     
  6. 6. Check Firewall and Antivirus:
    Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus software to see if they are blocking the connection.
     
  7. 7. Update Drivers:
    Outdated network drivers can also cause connection problems, so ensure they are up to date.
     
  8. 8. Contact Your ISP:
    If you've tried all other steps and the problem persists, contact your ISP for further assistance. 
    They can check for outages or other service issues.
     
  9. 9. Advanced Troubleshooting (if necessary):
    • Reset TCP/IP stack: 
      Use the Command Prompt as administrator to reset TCP/IP settings (ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew).
       
    • Flush DNS cache: 
      Use the Command Prompt as administrator to flush the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns).
       
    • Check for Proxy Settings: Ensure no proxy settings are enabled on your device that might be interfering with the connection.
