Internet has become so important in our lives that just the idea of losing our connection generates discomfort, nerves and even anxiety. When a fall occurs know what we have to do to fix a Wi-Fi connection It represents an important value that can make our lives easier, and that is why at MuyComputer we wanted to share with you a simple guide that will not be of great help.
In many cases, fixing a Wi-Fi connection is something very simple, although before we start to “play” it is necessary that we are sure that the problem comes from our side, and that our supplier is not to blame. If the latter is to blame, we won’t be able to do anything, so all we try to do is waste time, and it will only add more frustration and discomfort.
Once we have this clear, it is time to start taking measures to fix our Wi-Fi connection. In this article I am going to show you, one by one, the simplest and most effective steps to achieve it, and these will come ordered from least to most difficultso it is best to start following the same order in which they appear listed.
1.-Sometimes it is enough to restart the router to fix a Wi-Fi connection
It is very easy but at the same time very effective. The problem is that when it comes to rebooting the router, even those who think they know how to actually do it they don’t do it correctlya, because simply power cycling the router is not enough, there are a few important steps that need to be followed to complete the reset process for real:
- We disconnected the router from the power for at least a minute.
- Before reconnecting the router to the power we must restart the PC. It is also recommended to restart the devices connected to the router.
- We let the reboots of each device complete, and we wait for them to connect again to the Wi-Fi network automatically.
These types of reboots usually fix unresolved issues that may have been stuck in the memory of those devices, and will not go away until that memory is cleared. It is more effective than it seems, and because of how simple it is it is highly recommended to test it before doing anything else.
2.-Use the network troubleshooting tool if you use Windows
This tool offered practically no no value in Windows 7I can attest to this because it never worked for me in all the years that I used that operating system, but with Windows 10 things changed completely.
I have used it on more than one occasion to solve network problems, and also some specific sound problems, and it has gotten me out of more than one bindso I strongly recommend that you use it if the first step has not worked for you, since it is very easy to use and can give you more than one surprise.
To use it, we just have to right-click on the network icon located in the system tray (right part of the taskbar), and choose the “troubleshoot” option. We let it load, we choose the network adapter that we want to be subjected to diagnosis and that’s it, if any type of error is found we can choose that this be the result automatically.
3.-Check your Wi-Fi connection more thoroughly, and check the distance
If none of the previous options has allowed you to fix your Wi-Fi connection, things get a bit complicated and you will have to start “tinkering”. As a first step, I would recommend that you check the distance and the possible impact of the obstacles that the Wi-Fi has to overcome to reach your location, since it is likely that this is the reason why the Wi-Fi connection is not working. if you are quite far from the router.
In the event that you have a connection when you are closer to the router, the problem will already be clear to you, and you will have to relocate the router or use a Wi-Fi repeater to resolve this situation. If this is not the problem, enter the router settings and check that everything is in order, and that you do not have any intruders in your networksince in many cases these can end up draining all your bandwidth, and this will make your Wi-Fi connection not work.
If you have an intruder on your network, you can kick him out by following the steps we gave you in this article. In case nothing we have told you so far works, Try updating the router’s firmware. As a last resort, you should contact a technician since at this point it is possible that there are problems at the hardware level, and that the router is failing.
