How do I troubleshoot internet connection issues on my laptop?

< 1 min read

Here is a helpful list of steps you can take to troubleshoot your internet connection issues on your laptop:

  1. Restart your laptop.
    This can help clear up memory and software issues that can lead to unexpected and unintended behavior.

  2. Check your router’s indicator lights.
    If any of the lights are abnormal, you may need to re-establish your connection.

  3. Run an internet connection speed test.
    This can determine if your connection is fast enough to get online. If the results are lower than expected, you may need to reboot your router.

  4. Update your Wi-Fi network adapter drivers.
    If your drivers are out of date, this could be causing internet connection issues.

  5. Change your modem settings.
    If you’ve recently updated the settings, it could be the cause of your connection issues. Restarting the modem will often fix the issue.

  6. Check your antivirus / firewall settings.
    Settings for antivirus and/or firewall applications can affect your connection. Make sure that they are set properly.
