How to troubleshoot connection to a Wi-Fi network

Wifi problems

The problems with a wireless network can be quite varied. From the lack of security (that some neighbor is connected to your network and you are stealing bandwidth) to simply the fact that it does not establish connection or only connects with the router but not the Internet.
If we really want to solve these problems with our wireless connection , many times we have to go to the simplest things. In many cases, it is something of little importance that can be solved in a few minutes.

Typical Problems and Solutions on a Wifi Network

There are many kinds of problems that a wireless network can pose and we will not see them all in this article. If you have doubts, you can tell us what you want in the comments. To begin, you will need to make sure that everything is securely connected.
  • Router on. Many problems are usually solved by restarting the router, since the connection has not been established properly (it happens on some older operating systems).
  • Network card enabled. If you use an external USB network card, many times the problem will come from there, not catch the signal. In such a case, make sure that it makes good contact and is not damaged (for example by trying another card).
  • Wireless connection set. Obviously, it is not enough to buy the router and the Internet connection, press the button and wait for it to work. You must configure the wireless network .
Some common problems come to change or upgrade the operating system. "I have formatted the computer and installed an older version of the operating system. My wireless network is not working " In such a case, it is very likely that you are missing an updated network driver. You should find out what you have (entering the control panel) and downloading the drivers from the official page (entering the Internet with another computer).
Other difficulties may come from a misconfiguration or also that some virus that prevents us to connect to the Internet is installed. You have to find out calmly and pass the antivirus; if you notice that besides the PC is running slower than normal , it is very likely that this is the cause.
There is an additional difficulty, which may be the existence of interference in the wireless network . It may be on the network of another person, or that our installation is not well distributed. In such a case, the best move and test the connection in different places of the plant.
We have said on occasion that the Wifi wireless connections give such problems and are not as optimal as the structured copper or fiber optic cabling . In any case, if we are going to use this system.
What kind of problems does your network usually give you? Can you connect to the Internet normally in your home or business?
