Check whether the router or modem is plugged

We come across situations where our Wi-Fi disappears suddenly without any prior notice.
Situations like these are hard to tolerate. I mean this gets more frustrating when you are binge-watching FRIENDS or shooting some zombies in Call of Duty online.

Therefore, instead of clamming or jabbing your keyboard, check if the power is on. This is the first thing you should do if your internet is out. Sometimes the router isn’t plugged in or is half-in, half-out. If the plug is out of your reach, you can check the router’s indicator lights. If there are no lights at all, the router isn’t getting any power.

The solution is simple. Disconnect the power supply and reconnect. If the problem persists, the power strip might be damaged. Replace it or plug it into another outlet.

Check your Network connection

There might be a scenario where you are getting an internet connection on your phone but not on your computer. You might be connected to the internet yet have no internet access. In situations like these, you should check your computer’s network.

There is a simple way of doing this. Look up System Preferences and right-click on the Network icon. Open Troubleshooting and your computer will run a diagnostic check. The issue will be resolved. The process is entirely the same if you are connected via an Ethernet cable.

Diagnose your Router

Many companies offer a modem and router separately. When the router is outdated, you might face internet connection issues. In cases like these, the modem works perfectly fine but the router can’t transmit wireless signals in your home or office.

Try to physically examine the router and make sure all the wires are plugged in right. The best way of diagnosing a router is by checking the indicator lights. If the router isn’t working, you’ll see red lights or the lights won’t be blinking.

This is because your router is old and worn-out. It is time to replace as routers have a fixed bandwidth capacity. In case of excessive usage, it becomes difficult for a router to allocate bandwidth for your devices.

DNS Server Issues

An issue with your DNS server might bring some internet connection issues. Whenever you try to access any website or Google, your computer tries to contact its DNS servers on the backend and asks for that website’s IP address. Your ISP provides all the DNS servers your computer network uses. These servers might experience some problems at times. To solve this issue, try restarting your computer and if something urgent is going on, you can bypass these DNS servers by accessing the website at its IP.

If nothing works, now is the right time to call your Internet Service Provider

If you are done trying all the above-mentioned steps and nothing has worked for you, now is the time to unleash hell on your internet service provider. Call them directly and report the issue. Power outages are quite common in the States. In many cases, the problem can be with the coaxial or fiber wires running into your house. They’ll send someone over to fix the issue for you.
