#2 – Verify if the internet is actually working

There is always a strong possibility that nothing is wrong with your hardware and the problem is being caused by some technical difficulty on your internet service provider side.

If you can’t access the internet on any of your devices (laptop, desktop, smartphones, PlayStation, etc.) either by wireless or ethernet cable, then the issue is most likely being caused by a massive service outage.

In this situation, there is not much you can do besides calling your ISP technical support team to let them know your area is also being affected by whatever technical problem they are facing.

#3 – Restart the router

This one right here is a classic, but it might actually be quite helpful. To restart the router all you need to do is unplug it from the power source and wait a few seconds before plugging it back in.

If that doesn’t solve your problem, you can also try a hard reset. Find the reset button on your router (on most router models this button can only be accessed with a paperclip) and press it for 30 seconds to restore it back to default factory settings.

This can effectively solve a myriad of issues from random connection drops to network inaccessibility. Be aware that this reset process will erase every setting customization you may have made on it.

#4 – Update or reinstall network adapter drivers

Sometimes an incompatible or outdated driver can be the cause of your connection issues, especially if you recently upgraded any piece of hardware or modified your windows version (major system updates, for example, can cause driver incompatibilities).

To see if a new driver is available just type “device manager” on the taskbar search box, expand the “network adapters” section and look for your network adapter device.

Select it, click on the “update driver – search automatically for updated driver software” option, and follow the instructions. After the new driver is installed you need to restart your computer.
