How to troubleshoot and repair your internet conenction.

 

"My Internet is down or slow." "Netflix just spins around, buffering Netflix." It is one of the common calls I receive on a daily basis. Users experience internet problems on a regular basis, everyone does at some point.

A lot of these problems are within their home networks and or wireless connections. Lets see what easy steps we can follow to troubleshoot internet and wifi issues.

Lets start by how you are connecting the router to the internet. Is it via: cable, fiber, telephone cable for ADSL and VDSL or perhaps via wireless technoliogy like 3G, LTE or 4G?

Make sure the router is connected to the wall socket and that the inernet light is on. If the internet light is off make sure all cables are proerly connected. If you still have a problem connecting, the problem could be with the Internet Service Provider, call them up and ask for a line test.

If you are confident the problem is not the router and not the ISP, then it could be with the device you are conencting with.
Check ethernet cables going to the router from the client device. The LAN light should be on.

It is very impotant that the deive has an IP address, without it your netwrok wont fucntion.

Another common problem is wifi related issues: The Wi-Fi network name is no longer listed when you click to see available wireless networks. There are various reasons this might happen, and it's not an uncommon occurrence.

Force your computer or device to connect to the router even if it's not broadcasting. From Windows, go into Control Panel | Network and Internet | Network and Sharing | Manage Wireless Networks.

If you see your wireless network listed, right-click on its icon and click Properties. Check the option "Connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID)".

If you don't see your wireless network listed, click "Add" then select "Manually connect to a wireless network" and put your wireless information in.

Sometimes the problem could be more complex than what the above is, if you need a reliable and affordable internet repair technician or wifi installation technician please use the links to egt in touch.
