Home Internet Troubleshooting: Solutions to Common Problems
This is especially so if you need the internet for work or school. Effective troubleshooting is important to prevent any major internet gaps.
Here are some of the common problems with home internet and a few tips on how to troubleshoot. We’re here to help you get online and stay online.
Pinpoint Internet Problems
One of the first things to do in troubleshooting is to determine the source of the problem. If you can’t log onto a site with your computer, try a different website. If that doesn’t work, switch devices. This should tell you if it is a device issue or something going wrong with a web host.
While this may not solve your internet problem, it does help you figure out what’s wrong.
Check Your Speed
Sometimes the internet doesn’t completely disappear, but it slows down a lot. To find out if your speed is within the realm of what you’re paying for, try a speed test. Plug a computer directly into the modem and run a speed test to get the real numbers behind your internet connection.
