How do I troubleshoot a network adapter problem?

< 1 min read

  1. Check the lights on the modem and router to confirm that the devices are powered on and connectivity with the ISP is working.
  2. Verify the cables between the modem and router (and if applicable, the router and the computer) are securely connected and the port LEDs are active.
  3. Run an ipconfig /all command in the command prompt to check if IP address has been assigned.
  4. Use troubleshooting tools like 'network diagnostic tools' to identify and diagnose issues.
  5. Confirm if the modem and router firmware is up to date.
  6. Reset the modem and router and verify the default settings.
  7. Temporarily disable the firewall and antivirus software running in the computer to check if the network adaptor issue is resolved.
