If you're experiencing internet connectivity issues, follow these steps to diagnose and potentially fix the problem:

1. Check Your Internet Connection

• Verify Status: Make sure your device is connected to the internet. Look for the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar (for Windows) or menu bar (for Mac).
• Check Other Devices: See if other devices (like a smartphone or tablet) can connect to the internet. This helps determine if the issue is with your device or the network.

2. Restart Your Device

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

3. Restart Your Modem/Router

• Unplug your modem and router from power.
• Wait about 30 seconds, then plug them back in.
• Wait for the lights to stabilize before trying to reconnect.

4. Check Cables and Connections

• Ensure all cables (power, Ethernet, etc.) are securely connected.
• Look for any visible damage to the cables.

5. Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi

• On your device, go to the Wi-Fi settings, find your network, and select Forget.
• Reconnect by entering your Wi-Fi password.

6. Run the Network Troubleshooter (Windows)

• Right-click the network icon in the taskbar and select Troubleshoot problems.
• Follow the prompts to diagnose and fix issues.

7. Disable VPN or Proxy

• If you’re using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the connectivity issue.

8. Check for ISP Outages

• Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or check their website/social media for any reported outages in your area.
