Common internet fixes
Restart your modem and router
An equipment restart should be your first step when troubleshooting internet problems. It’s quick, easy, and often fixes the problem.
Connect to your router with an Ethernet cable
Internet problems are often actually Wi-Fi problems, meaning the issue is with your wireless signal and not your ISP or internet connection. Using an Ethernet connection to connect to your router can help you get around poor Wi-Fi or, at the very least, rule out a Wi-Fi issue.
