"You are here because your internet connection is flaky. Maybe your Wi-Fi keeps going down or disconnecting specific devices, seemingly at random. Maybe your network is painfully slow, or you can't get online at certain times of day. Whatever your issue, I have some simple suggested fixes and tips that should get you back online and keep you there. If speed is your problem, we have ideas on how to make your Wi-Fi faster."
"Make sure you do it properly, because it's easy and quick to do, and it will often fix issues. Turn off your router and modem. Unplug them completely. Wait for at least 30 seconds. You can turn the power switch on while the device is unplugged (where possible) to ensure residual power is drained. Plug them back in and turn them on."
Network issues often stem from flaky connections, device dropouts, slow speeds, or time-dependent outages. Start by determining whether the problem affects one device, the Wi‑Fi network, or the internet service, and power cycle the affected device or the router and modem as appropriate. Proper power cycling—turning devices off, unplugging them for at least 30 seconds to drain residual power, then restarting—resolves many common problems. If speed is the issue, apply targeted optimizations or consider upgrading hardware such as mesh systems, routers, or extenders to improve coverage and throughput.
