What to do when WiFi does not work?

Today, a huge number of people use the wireless WiFi network . This is convenient, and very easy. But no matter how simple the connection is through this type of connection, there are still situations when WiFi does not work. And to restore the network, it is necessary to find the causes of the problems, which will be discussed.

WiFi does not work due to the fault of the transmitter

The transmitter can be called a WiFi device, to which other devices are connected - WiFi-modem, WiFi-access point, etc. Naturally, if this equipment stops broadcasting, then the end devices will not work either.

Determine the efficiency of the WiFi-transmitter is easy - you need to go to the section where your equipment is connected to the network. As on phones, tablets, smartphones, and on any modern computers that support such a connection, this section should display the name of your WiFi network. So it becomes clear if your transmitter is working.

However, often there are situations that there may be several networks in the district. How to understand if your is on the list? Very easily - just turn off the equipment and update the list - if one of the names disappears - it means that it was your network. Now turn on the WiFi-transmitter and again update the list. If a new name appears, then this is your network.

So we figured out if your device is broadcasting. But if you click on the inscription, it connects, but does not work WiFi (still), what should I do? Here is a completely different matter. Now we have clearly understood that the WiFi network is actually working, but if there is no Internet, this is already the case in the settings of the transmitter itself (if the fault is due to its fault). Here the blame can be such situations:

• The WiFi transmitter is not configured or configured correctly.
• The Internet is completely blocked on your device by viruses, antivirus, non-working Proxy-server, Internet provider (for technical reasons).
• It is required to pay for the Internet.

To eliminate some of the above problems, a comprehensive check is needed, which not everyone can do, but it will be enough to start a call to the office of the Internet provider.

WiFi does not work due to the fault of the end device

Very often the reason for the inoperability of the WiFi network is the user himself, or his equipment. If WiFi does not work on the end device, then the following should be noted:

• If, say, the iPhone does not connect to Wi Fi (or any other device), it's possible that the wrong password is entered on the smartphone or computer. To change it, you must click on the "Forget Network" button (or something like that) and then reconnect by entering a new password.
• Wi-Fi does not work, because the end device does not see any such network at all. Perhaps a reboot will help. If it does not help, you can try reinstalling the driver on the WiFi board (if it's a computer), or flashing the OS (if the phone). And, maybe, just turned off the WiFi-receiver (how to turn it on, see the instructions for the computer, phone, etc.). Often the receivers themselves fail, then only repair will help.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to bring all the reasons within one article. But for an ordinary user to learn about why WiFi does not work, these fundamental knowledge will suffice, which should give the reader basic concepts from which you can build on in the future.
