Can’t live without it

In today’s interconnected world, a reliable internet connection has become essential for both personal and professional tasks. When your internet connection suddenly drops, it can be frustrating and disruptive. While troubleshooting network issues may seem daunting, especially for non-technical users, there are simple steps you can take to identify and resolve common connectivity problems.

Check the Basics

Before diving into more complex solutions, start by checking the most basic aspects of your internet setup:

Power Check: Ensure your modem and router are properly plugged into power outlets and turned on. Check for loose connections or damage to the power cords.

Cable Connections: Verify that all cables are securely connected to your modem, router, and computer. Inspect cables for any visible damage.

Wireless Network Check: If you’re using Wi-Fi, make sure your device is connected to the correct network. Double-check the network name (SSID) and password.

Recent Changes: Has anything changed recently on the network, like plugging in a new device, connecting an unplugged Ethernet cable, setting up a new piece of equipment, etc.?  If so, double check the changes, as you may need to retrace those steps.

Restart your Equipment

A simple restart can often resolve minor glitches and temporary issues. Unplug your modem and router, wait for about a minute, and then plug them back in. Once they have fully booted up (around five minutes), check if your internet connection is restored.

Check for ISP Outages

Sometimes, the issue may not be with your equipment or settings but rather with your internet service provider (ISP). From a mobile phone check your ISP’s website or social media channels for announcements regarding Internet outages in your area.
