Unstable Wi-Fi connection: we solve the problem ourselves. How to Fix a Slow or Unstable Internet Connection - Web Developer's Blog

Is your wireless Internet connection slow? you suffer from unstable wifi connections. Congestion problems are common in residential complexes or in areas with high population density. In a world where an Internet connection is vital, almost everyone with a slow Internet connection is more than just a nuisance.

Are you trying to work remotely, check your status in in social networks or just look at restaurant reviews, a slow internet connection allows you to live life on your own terms. The good news is that you no longer have to deal with slow internet. The solution is as simple as downloading the Speedify app from the AppStore or Google.


What Causes Wireless Congestion?

There can be dozens of stations in any region. Each radio tower sends out invisible waves of radiation on its own frequency, from the tower to your radio. Adjusting the radio changes the channel. But what if two stations are broadcasting on the same channel?

Fortunately, the government regulates radio in the same way they regulate wireless frequencies. If every radio station transmitter uses the same frequency, you will hear a cacophony of distorted sounds - it's like trying to isolate one voice at the most crowded party.

Just like radio, Wi-Fi is a form of invisible radiation. Like all types of radiation, wireless communication has physical form, or frequency, which looks like a wave. It is also not limited to one form - there are several types of Wi-Fi frequencies used by computers, namely 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. While the government exercises strict control over how devices connect to each frequency, there are limits to 2.4GHz technology.

2.4GHz offers 3 non-overlapping channels. 5GHz offers 23 non-overlapping channels and shorter range, which means fewer overlapping radio signals.

The problem with 2.4GHz: Most technology consumers, including Bluetooth and a number of wireless technologies, use the same 2.4GHz frequency which has only three non-overlapping channels. In addition, 2.4 GHz has a long range, which leads to the overlap of various Wi-Fi signals on top of each other.

The solution is simple: determine which channels are not overloaded and switch the device to it. If that doesn't help, consider changing your router to a 5GHz model. Keep in mind that many fancy routers offer trimaran and other features. The best option is always a dual band device.


Tools for dealing with wireless congestion

First, you must determine which Wi-Fi channel provides reliability and speed. Second (and last) you must change the channel of your router. This means that you need to use a tool to analyze and change settings on the router.

In Windows, there are a huge number of tools that can reveal the best channels. One of the best options comes from Windows Store: Wireless Analyzer.


How to use WiFi Analyzer

Just install and run the application. Once installed, you will be able to run it in Windows search ( Windows key+ Q), enter the type of wireless analyzer, and select the store, as a result, you may have to install the application before you can proceed to launch it.

The program should detect your Wi-Fi signal and its strength, which ranges from 0 to -100 decibel milliwatts (dBm), the lower the better. If it shows 0 dBm, then you are near the transmitter. At -100 dBm your connection will not work. A number lower (technically negative lower) than -70 means a strong bond. -80dBm or higher means poor connection.

Next, click on the analysis in the top menu bar. The WiFi analyzer displays a visualization of various overlapping wireless networks in your area. If two networks broadcast on the same channel, you will notice that they will overlap. Each channel is a number between 1 and 161.

Here's what it looks like when two networks intersect:

If you don't have Windows 8 or newer installed, you could try this from nirsoft WifiInfoView, which offers similar features as the WiFi Analyzer.


How to change the channel on the router

Now that you know which Wi-Fi channel works best, you need to change your router settings. Accessing your router settings requires a browser such as Chrome. Access to its settings, but varies between various models router, but there are some general rules.

Note: most routers can use "admin" as login and "password" as password. The registration information may also be printed on the back of the router or in the instruction manual that came with it. If you are unable to access your router, try searching the internet for a way to open your individual router.

In the end, The best way to say that you have improved your network speed is to test. I recommend using SpeedTest.net. This good way determine which Wi-Fi channel will optimally combine speed and reliability. If that doesn't work, you might want to try some other methods to improve router performance.

Let's consider today the problem when the Wi-Fi network is unstable, and when the connection to the Wi-Fi network is periodically interrupted, or the Internet connection is lost. It seems to me that this is even worse than when the Internet does not work at all. Because the problem is not clear, everything seems to work, but not as it should, the signal disappears, devices turn off, and other incomprehensible moments. It’s just that when something doesn’t work, it’s at least clear where to look for a solution, but in such a situation, nothing is clear at all.

What is the unstable operation of the Wi-Fi connection:

  • Periodic disconnection of devices from the Wi-Fi network. Or the Internet just cuts off for a while (), and everything starts working again. A very popular problem that causes a lot of inconvenience. For example, a laptop is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and the Internet is working. But periodically a yellow exclamation mark appears near the connection icon, and the Internet disappears. The download of files gets lost, etc. And, as a rule, after a while the connection is restored.
  • Devices do not connect to the Wi-Fi network the first time, or do not see the Wi-Fi network.
  • Wi-Fi network completely disappears, and appears.
  • Very low speed internet via wireless network (the cable is fine).
  • When the Wi-Fi connection works only near the router.
  • The signal strength of the wireless network is constantly changing.

This, of course, is not the whole list of problems that are associated with the unstable operation of wireless networks. There may be many more. Very often, Wi-Fi works fine for a while, and then problems start that go away again. Also, you can notice the appearance of problems, for example, in the evenings, or at other times of the day.

If you have something similar, and you seem to have an Internet connection, but you can’t always use it ( use without any problem), now we will try to fix everything.

Changing the wireless network channel when Wi-Fi is unstable

This is the first and most main advice which is a must try. We know that every Wi-Fi network operates on some channel. If there are many of these networks, then they begin to interfere with one another, and interference appears. And as a result, unstable Wi-Fi works. Well, and various incomprehensible problems that I wrote about above, and which you have most likely already encountered.

You need to change the channel of the Wi-Fi network in the router settings. Details about channels, about finding a free one and about changing to different models routers, I wrote in a separate instruction:

You can try setting some static channel (if you have Auto), or vice versa, set to Auto if a static channel was selected. In the article linked above, I wrote about finding the freest channel using the inSSIDer program. You can use.

You just need to go to the router settings, go to the tab where the wireless network is configured, and change the channel in the Channel item. This is how it looks on Tp-Link routers:

And on Asus routers:

After every channel change, don't forget save settings and reboot router. Be sure to try several options. Should help.

As for interference, they can be created Appliances. Do not place the router near microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.

Shaving the Internet via Wi-Fi: router firmware, and other tips

Almost always, such problems in the operation of the wireless network occur due to the router. Not uncommon, this is due to the firmware. Therefore, I strongly recommend updating the firmware of your router. We have instructions for all popular manufacturers on our website. Here's an example, .

It is also possible that the wireless network may be unstable due to some technical problems with the router. Something with the board itself, or the power adapter. By the way, power adapters are very often the cause of such problems. The router simply does not receive the necessary power and connection breaks appear, etc. Well, strong drops in the power grid can affect the operation of the router. If the Internet is cut off after you create some kind of load on the router (online video, games, torrents, connecting new devices, etc.), then this one is usually due to an inexpensive (not powerful) router.

Need to eliminate problems on the side of the Internet provider. It may well be that it is on his side that the connection is broken, and the router has nothing to do with it. Checking is very simple, just connect the Internet directly to the computer and check its operation.

For many, the connection breaks in those rooms where the Wi-Fi network signal is very poor. When only one division of the network signal remains on the device, for example.

In such a situation, you need to increase the range of your Wi-Fi network. We have an article on this topic:. Or, install . After that, the problems with the Internet breakage should disappear.

And if your home devices find a lot of available networks that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz (as most likely your network), and changing the channel, and even changing the router does not work, and the Wi-Fi network is very unstable, then you can solve this problem by purchasing a router that supports operation at a frequency of 5 GHz. This frequency is practically free. I just know a case where there were a lot of wireless networks in the house, and Wi-Fi was simply impossible to use until they switched to a frequency of 5 GHz.

If the Internet disappears on only one laptop

And of course, it’s not uncommon for all devices to connect and work with a wireless network without any problems or disconnections, and one device keeps disconnecting, losing connection, etc. It’s not hard to guess that most often this device is called a laptop and works on Windows.

In such cases, be sure to update the wireless adapter driver. How to do this, I wrote. It is possible that the problem may be in the hardware. And it appears very often after disassembling the laptop (cleaning from dust). Why is that? During assembly, the antenna that is built into the laptop often suffers. Here are the problems in working with Wi-Fi networks. Very often, after that, the Internet works only near the router itself.

Update: changing the properties of the Wi-Fi network

Open the Network and Sharing Center public access" and click on your Wi-Fi network. In the new window, click on the "Wireless network properties" button and check the box next to "Connect even if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID)". Click Ok.

If it does not help, and Wi-Fi will still fall off, then in the same window, on the "Security" tab, you can click on the "Advanced settings" button and check the box next to "Enable compatibility mode for this network with federal standard Information Processing (FIPS)".

You can restart your computer. Thanks for this tip Alexander. He suggested it in the comments to this article.

Here are some tips if you have interesting information on this topic personal experience then write in the comments. You can also ask questions there, I will definitely answer!

I bought D-link router DIR-651, set up everything according to the instructions and ran into a problem that when the computer and power are turned off, the router resets the servers.

Foreword ... Solution of the problem with the router (router), see below ↓

It all started with the fact that I first connected the router via LAN to a desktop computer. I wrote down everything I needed, the router turned on and started working, the Internet appeared, and I was delighted. Then I thought that I should check the Wi-Fi.

I turned on the laptop, he himself found a wireless connection to the router, connected everything, the Internet started working, and the sites began to open. Well, I also decided to check the wireless Wi-Fi connection from my phone and tablet. And everything turned out well there, the connection was successful, and the Internet appeared.

The next day, turn on the router, then a laptop, and ! Or rather, writes that the network without access to the Internet. There is a wireless connection itself, Wi-Fi is working and the network is connected, and in the corner near the clock, the icon is drawn that "a network without access to the Internet."

At first I thought it was a problem with the ISP. I think as a copywriter - logically, you need to turn on your desktop computer and see if there is Internet there! I turned on the computer that is connected via LAN to the local network - the Internet is working.

Why on a laptopWi-Fi network disappears?

I decided that the problem is with the D-Link router! I went to the admin panel of the router, rummaged, corrected DNS settings, re-entered everything, connected it, I looked - Wi-Fi earned. Turned everything off and then on again. I look, everything works, the Internet has not disappeared anywhere, there is Wi-Fi on the laptop. Well, I was delighted, turned everything off and went about my business. I arrive in the evening, turn on the router - turn on the computer and laptop, and the Wi-Fi network disappears again. And again the same nonsense, no internet connection.

That's when I got upset and started looking for information, maybe someone had similar problems with the router. But I couldn't find a specific solution to my problem anywhere. Here are some solutions I found on the forums:

User Tips:

1) Try setting fixedIP depending onMac. And check DHCP on the router, lease time settings.

2) Sometimes routers stop seeing wi-fi, or cannot connect. Just reboot your router.

3) Maybe the problem is due to filtering by MAC, which was driven in by the provider on the computer, and not on the router.

4) You need to update your router firmware.

5) You may need to turn off the 802.11n mode in the router settings and turn it on mixed mode(b / g / n), and the mode is "only g".

6) Set your router to WPA/WPA2 mode or enable MAC address filtering.

7) Perhaps problems with a malfunctioning laptop network card.

Unfortunately, the advice did not help me, and I did not want to call the provider. Therefore, I decided to look for a way to solve the problem with the router, as always by trial and error. And I found it 🙂 Everything turned out to be simple!

Solving the problem with the routerD-Link and network setup correctly!

After a short build of logical chains between the router and two computers, I came to the conclusion that the reason lies in the laptop.

First of all, I must say that I did not change anything in the wireless network settings, and the WPA / WPA2 mode was already set in advance.


Solved the problem with the router simply! I went into the laptop's network and found that the settings were set to automatic to obtain an IP address and a DNS server.


But since I only corrected DNS on the router, I decided to enter my DNS server address and alternative DNS there, which can be viewed in the network settings on a desktop computer, or ask the provider. I got this picture:


My surprise was immeasurable when I saw that everything worked. Then I turned everything off on purpose, and the next day, with wild doubt, I turned on the router and laptop, expecting that there would again be problems with Wi-Fi internet. But no, everything worked very quickly and well, and the site "" opened without problems.


Pay attention to how to detect problems with Wi-Fi if it says that the Internet is connected and everything is working. In the first picture (faulty Wi-Fi), the transfer of information in bytes is much less than in the second (working Wi-Fi):


Here is a story that proves that solving a problem is not always difficult.

P.S.: An interesting fact that is still not clear to me. On the tablet and on the phone, I didn’t register any settings for a wireless connection to Wi-Fi, they were there both automatically and still are, but what’s interesting is that WiFi Internet Worked on phone and tablet both then and now. Paradox…

Error 500 internal site error

The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. It doesn't matter what purpose we use it for. As they say, everyone's business. When, for some reason, the Internet disappears, for the majority, the computer becomes unnecessary. Indeed, in our time, everything is on the Internet: friends, work, music, movies, games, information. And many first of all start calling the support service, calling the masters, paying money for it and wasting their time and nerves. And you just need to ask yourself the question “Why did the Internet disappear?”. In 90% of cases, you can restore everything on your own, or at least you will know what the reason is.

Why did the Internet disappear on the computer

The whole thousand reasons for the lack of the Internet, roughly speaking, can be divided into two categories. The first is internal causes, breakdowns. I will refer to them everything that concerns your computer. It's like the settings of your operating system, in particular windows, as well as damage or breakdown of your hardware (computer or laptop).

The second category is everything outside of your computer, external causes. These include modems, routers, an Internet provider, sockets, cables, and in the end, the banal lack of electricity in the outlet. 🙂

To begin with, we will consider the entire chain, where and how the Internet comes to us for a better understanding of what hurts where. We get internet from internet providers. Be it home internet or mobile. We give them money, they give us the Internet. By the way, at this stage there is already one reason why the Internet may disappear, the money on the balance has run out. Then the Internet runs through cables to our house and the first person to meet it is our modem and / or router. After that, via cable or wifi, the Internet goes to our computer, where the network card or wifi adapter receives it. Well, then the operating system itself and the programs available to it begin to work. Well, that's it in a nutshell.

Diagnosing the lack of Internet or why there is no Internet

When you discover the “loss” of the Internet, the first and most logical diagnostic method will be to shout to your mother or wife in the next room, “Do you have Internet?”. Well, you understand what? If there are other gadgets in the house that accept the Internet, first check whether it is available on them. If the Internet is on them, then the reason is in your computer. And the first thing you should do is restart your computer or gadget. We'll talk about the rest later.

External factors of the absence of the Internet

If the Internet is not available on them either, we quickly run to the modem. On the modem, we look at which lights are on. Here, each one individually, but, as a rule, the power light (Power), the ADSL light, should be on, this is a wire coming from a telephone line or possibly from another source. The third light is Wi-Fi or LAN (wire local network that connects your modem to your computer). And one more light, this is the status of the network or just the Internet. The light bulb lets you know whether the Internet is now on the modem or not. I told you this in a simplified version.

In general, you, of course, must know your modem and the number of lights that should be on there. First of all, if something lights up wrong or in the wrong color (not in green in most cases), just turn the modem off and on again, that is, reboot it. It helps 70% of the time. If the Internet never appeared, we look at what is burning wrong. If the ADSL indicator is not lit, then first pick up your home phone and check for beeps. If they are not there, then the problem is on the line and all that remains is to wait. If there are beeps, then the problem is in the wire going from the network to the modem or in the splitter. Check their condition. If all else fails, call tech support. By the way, the splitter is often the cause of the breakdown. If you have a spare or someone to borrow, then replace it and see what happens.

Next, the LAN or Wi-Fi indicator. If it is not lit, the problem is either in the wire from the modem to the computer, or in the network card / Wi-Fi adapter of the computer itself. I want to say right away, even if you check everything, and everything will be in order for you, do not forget that there may be a breakdown in the modem itself, but here we can’t do anything ourselves. After checking the LAN wire, let's see how things are on the computer itself.

The internal factor of the lack of Internet.

On the computer, go to the control panel and select "View network status and tasks" and select "Change adapter settings" in the left column.



All currently available network connections will appear in front of us. As you can see in the picture, I have a Wi-Fi connection and a network cable connection available.


Now we are interested in connecting by cable or “LAN”. A cable connection can have three modes.

If it shows that the network connection is disabled, then double-click the left button to enable it or right-click on the shortcut, select "enable" from the context menu

If you see a connection in the status "Network cable is not connected", then most likely there is a problem with the cable. Either it is broken, or the chips at the ends of the cable are damaged. Maybe you just did not fully insert the chip into the connector. The problem may be in the network card itself. You can check if everything is in order with the network card in the "Device Manager". On the desktop, right-click on the "My Computer" shortcut and select "Device Manager" from the context menu.


There we are looking for "Network adapters". Let's unfold it and take a look. I have Wi-Fi on my laptop and there is one network card, which is what we see.

The first is my Wi-Fi receiving device and the second is my network card. If your network card is not in the list of network adapters, then either it has disconnected or it has come to an end. I had such a situation in a laptop when the wires from Wi-Fi were disconnected. And in the task manager, the adapter either appeared or disappeared.

You also need to pay attention to the items with an exclamation mark in the task manager.

This means that the hardware is installed in the computer, but the software, that is, the drivers, has not yet been installed on it. This also happens with various failures, and such exclamation marks, as a rule, should not be, especially on the equipment that you use, in particular on a network card or Wi-Fi adapter. In such situations, you just need to update or install the drivers.

In custody.

We have covered the main points. The main thing is to determine what is the reason for the lack of Internet, external or internal. And a couple of cases from my practice.

The Internet was gone, for a long time I did not know what the reason was. It turned out that the settings for the modem had changed on the part of the provider. I just don't go to their website and didn't know about it. Guess what I just didn't do. Checked everything that can be checked. In terms of settings, your ISP should have a modem setup guide and a Windows setup guide on their website. You must know and be able to use these instructions and then you will save a lot of time and money.

At least I told you. I would like to tell everything, but there is not enough ink. If you have any questions, write in the comments, I will definitely help, with the help of your questions I will supplement the article and write new ones on this topic.

Let's consider today the problem when the Wi-Fi network is unstable, and when the connection to the Wi-Fi network is periodically interrupted, or the Internet connection is lost. It seems to me that this is even worse than when the Internet does not work at all. Because the problem is not clear, everything seems to work, but not as it should, the signal disappears, devices turn off, and other incomprehensible moments. It’s just that when something doesn’t work, it’s at least clear where to look for a solution, but in such a situation, nothing is clear at all.

What is the unstable operation of the Wi-Fi connection:

  • Periodic disconnection of devices from the Wi-Fi network. Or the Internet just cuts off for a while (without access to the Internet), and everything starts working again. A very popular problem that causes a lot of inconvenience. For example, a laptop is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and the Internet is working. But periodically a yellow exclamation mark appears near the connection icon, and the Internet disappears. The download of files gets lost, etc. And, as a rule, after a while the connection is restored.
  • Devices do not connect to the Wi-Fi network the first time, or do not see the Wi-Fi network.
  • Wi-Fi network completely disappears, and appears.
  • Very slow wireless internet speed (the cable is fine).
  • When the Wi-Fi connection works only near the router.
  • The signal strength of the wireless network is constantly changing.

This, of course, is not the whole list of problems that are associated with the unstable operation of wireless networks. There may be many more. Very often, Wi-Fi works fine for a while, and then problems start that go away again. Also, you can notice the appearance of problems, for example, in the evenings, or at other times of the day.

If you have something similar, and you seem to have an Internet connection, but you can’t always use it ( use without any problem), now we will try to fix everything.

Changing the wireless network channel when Wi-Fi is unstable

This is the first and most important tip that you should definitely try. We know that every Wi-Fi network operates on some channel. If there are many of these networks, then they begin to interfere with one another, and interference appears. And as a result, unstable Wi-Fi works. Well, and various incomprehensible problems that I wrote about above, and which you have most likely already encountered.

You need to change the channel of the Wi-Fi network in the router settings. I wrote in detail about channels, about finding a free one and about changing on different models of routers in a separate instruction: How to find a free Wi-Fi channel, and change the channel on the router?

You can try setting some static channel (if you have Auto), or vice versa, set to Auto if a static channel was selected. In the article linked above, I wrote about finding the freest channel using the inSSIDer program. You can use.

You just need to go to the router settings, go to the tab where the wireless network is configured, and change the channel in the Channel item. This is how it looks on Tp-Link routers:

After every channel change, don't forget save settings and reboot router. Be sure to try several options. Should help.

As for interference, they can be created by household appliances. Do not place the router near microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.

Shaving the Internet via Wi-Fi: router firmware, and other tips

In such a situation, you need to increase the range of your Wi-Fi network. On this topic, we have an article: How to strengthen the signal of a Wi-Fi network? Increase Wi-Fi range. Or, install a repeater. After that, the problems with the Internet breakage should disappear.

And if your home devices find a lot of available networks that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz (as most likely your network), and changing the channel, and even changing the router does not work, and the Wi-Fi network is very unstable, then you can solve this problem by purchasing a router that supports operation at a frequency of 5 GHz.

Unfortunately, users sometimes face a situation where the Internet disappears. There can be many reasons for this: problems with the network card, problems with the provider, features of anti-virus software. This article suggests workarounds for the problem.

Internet is down - why?

First of all, you need to check the connection, whether individual computers are available to you on the network. Exists fast way find out the cause of the problem - run the command line. Its main advantage is that Windows features are not involved. Through the start, open the command line and access individual computers. We use the command ipconfig, Enter. If everything is fine, we get a result from which we can see that everything is in order with the local connection. In this window, you can replace the available Beeline remote computer that provides Internet services.


In some cases, after entering the ipconfig command, nothing happens, which means that there is no Internet at all.


The connection can be checked directly from the operating system without using the command line. Start->All Programs ->Accessories->Communications ->Network Connections. Click the Local Area Connection icon and look at the Accepted parameter, if it is 0, there is no access to the network.

You also need to make sure that you can receive and send packets over the network. The ping command will help. For the Beeline provider, the whole command looks like this - ping beeline.ru, then Enter. If there is a delay, an average of 26 ms, everything should be fine with the Internet. If you see the message Timed out for request, there is a problem with the network.


If your internet drops out, call your ISP. Ask him if the settings of the Internet Protocol TCP / IP or VPN settings have changed, check the balance.

The Internet drops out due to reasons such as a broken cable, Windows problems, a faulty network card, or motherboard. To find out for sure, you can do the following. Take a laptop, connect via a local line, if packets are exchanged with a remote computer, then everything is in order with the cable, and the problem is in a computer that does not have Internet. Check your TCP/IP protocol settings with your ISP. It may be impossible to get an IP address automatically, so the parameters need to be found out and entered manually. If you have a VPN connection, delete it, restart your computer, and re-create it.

If you have a built-in network card, try using an external one. Also check if the drivers are installed, in some cases a simple reinstallation helps. If using an external adapter, replace it, install the drivers and try to access the Internet. If all else fails, boot the computer in safe mode with support for network drivers, go online again. Fail again? Check your computer for viruses. If this does not help, you will have to reinstall the operating system, most likely, the matter is in it.


Sometimes there are computers in which a huge number of programs are installed. In this case, it is quite difficult to get to the bottom of the reason for the lack of Internet. Check the cable, it may be broken, this is the last thing to do.

Quite often, the Internet disappears due to the fault of the provider, especially if you are not using a dedicated, but a modem connection. Once you call the operator and tell about your problem, after a while the Internet appears. VolgaTelecom has always had similar problems, the Internet disappeared several times a day, old-style modems required constant firmware. If you still have a dial-up connection, try changing your ISP and using a local connection.

Electronic gadgets: computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets are in every home. In order for all devices to receive unlimited access to the Internet, users install routers in their apartments. These devices provide wireless access to the network from a single point of exit. But here people are faced with the situation that the Internet periodically disappears through the router. We will tell you how to solve the problem on your own, without involving specialists.

wi fi can disappear on any device

Possible reasons

If the Internet speed jumps, check the access of the router to the network. With stable access, the indicators should burn steadily green light. When there is a problem on the line, the indicators flash. The network drops out due to interference or incorrect device settings. You can solve the situation by rebooting the router; for this, a button is provided on the rear panel.

WATCH VIDEO

If the Wi-Fi connection is lost, the following messages are displayed on the monitor screen:

  • No internet access. The problem is caused by a wrong connection or a line problem. In this case, the Internet is lost via cable connection and remote access.
  • Obtaining an IP address. due to incorrect network settings. Check the setting in the Network and Sharing Center.
  • Connection break. If it persists, adjust the power setting. In particular, disable disable network adapters to save power.

If the signal is unstable and the speed leaves much to be desired, contact the provider's technical support.

Important! It is not the responsibility of the provider to set up a home connection if this item is not specified in the connection agreement!

If there are no technical faults on the line, and the signal level is still low, the problem may lie in the reception. If Wi-Fi on your phone is gone, move your gadget closer to the access point. The speed has increased - it means that there is interference on the path between the device and the router. The way out is to install an additional amplifying antenna. When the signal level does not depend on the distance between the device and the access point, you need to look for a free connection channel. This situation is typical for apartment buildings where several routers operate on the same frequency. Let's see how to solve this problem.

How to connect to a free frequency?

If Wi-Fi on the router is gone, then you need to install the InSSIDer program on your computer. The application will scan for available wireless networks and display free channels in a graphical way.

Please note that the utility costs money. Free version available only for mobile devices on the Android platform.

Let's understand how the utility works.

From the same graph, it can be seen that the fourth channel is free. To troubleshoot connection problems, you need to connect the router to a different frequency.

Please note that it is recommended to select a channel that is as far away from other frequencies as possible. It should be borne in mind that the frequency width varies within 20-40 MHz, and the channels are located 5 MHz apart from each other. Accordingly, the selected frequency will invariably overlap with neighboring ones. Right choice channel will fix the problem when the laptop loses wifi network. It is worth noting that router models have from 11 to 13 available connection channels, so reconfiguring the device is not difficult.

If the network on the phone disappears, it will help mobile app. This utility will not only determine the free frequency, but also help you check the reception quality at various points in the apartment. The application issues graphic image wireless networks, allowing you to select the optimal frequency. Thanks to this, you can fix the situation when Wi-Fi disappears on a tablet or mobile device.

Other options

You need to check the default settings of the router.

  1. The set parameters must match the recommended ones. If there are discrepancies, the device is not working properly. Some routers may not be able to handle the traffic.
  2. In addition, budget models do not support dual-frequency operation. High speed and dual stream connection overheat the router. As a result, unstable operation and unreasonable disconnections are manifested. In this case, the solution to the problem is to replace the router.

There are several options for getting out of the situation, using the above tips, you can establish a stable wireless connection in the apartment.

I bought a D-Link DIR-651 router, set everything up according to the instructions and ran into a problem that when the computer and power are turned off, the router resets the DNS server settings.

Foreword ... Solution of the problem with the router (router), see below ↓

It all started with the fact that I first connected the router via LAN to a desktop computer. I wrote down everything I needed, the router turned on and started working, the Internet appeared, and I was delighted. Then I thought that I should check the Wi-Fi.

I turned on the laptop, he himself found a wireless connection to the router, connected everything, the Internet started working, and the sites began to open. Well, I also decided to check the wireless Wi-Fi connection from my phone and tablet. And everything turned out well there, the connection was successful, and the Internet appeared.

The next day, turn on the router, then a laptop, and ! Or rather, writes that the network without access to the Internet. There is a wireless connection itself, Wi-Fi is working and the network is connected, and in the corner near the clock, the icon is drawn that "a network without access to the Internet."

At first I thought it was a problem with the ISP. I think as a copywriter - logically, you need to turn on your desktop computer and see if there is Internet there! I turned on the computer that is connected via LAN to the local network - the Internet is working.

Why on a laptopWi-Fi network disappears?
