Troubleshooting Tips

"I'm connected to Wi-Fi but have no internet access"

Sometimes, you might be connected to a Wi-Fi network but still can't access the internet. Here are some tips to troubleshoot this issue:

  • Check Router and Modem: Make sure your router and modem are plugged in and turned on. Restarting these devices can often resolve connectivity issues.

  • Verify Internet Service: Ensure your internet service is active. Contact your internet service provider if you suspect there might be an issue.

  • Network Configuration: Ensure your network is configured correctly. This includes checking if the router is properly connected to the modem and if there are any outages reported by your service provider.

  • Reconnect to Wi-Fi: Forget the network on your device and reconnect by entering the password again.

  • Check Device Settings: Make sure your device is not set to use a static IP address. This can sometimes interfere with your ability to access the internet.

General Troubleshooting Tips

  • Check Wi-Fi is On: Ensure your device’s Wi-Fi is turned on.

  • Correct Password: Double-check you are entering the correct password.

  • Reboot Device: Sometimes, simply restarting your device can resolve connectivity issues.

  • Move Closer to the Router: Signal strength can weaken with distance or obstructions like walls.
