What are the typical causes of interrupted internet connectivity?

< 1 min read

Typical causes of interrupted internet connectivity include issues related to hardware, software, or network failures that reduce the amount of available bandwidth for a connection. To troubleshoot the issue, you should:

  1. Check the cables, modem, router, switch, and access point are securely connected.
  2. Test the speed of your connection for potentially slower speeds.
  3. Restart the modem, router, and other network devices by unplugging them for 30 seconds and then plugging them back in.
  4. Update any software that may be related to the connection.
  5. Confirm you are connected to the correct wireless network by checking your settings.
  6. Identify and address any application that may be saturating the connection by streaming data or downloads.
