Wi-Fi Troubleshooting

Unreliable Wi-Fi, slow speeds, frequent dropouts, or inability to connect can be incredibly frustrating, disrupting everything from work and streaming to smart home device functionality. Our Wi-Fi Troubleshooting service systematically diagnoses the cause of your wireless network problems and implements effective solutions to restore a stable and speedy connection.

• Signal Strength & Coverage Analysis: Measuring Wi-Fi signal strength in different areas to identify dead zones or areas with weak signals.
• Interference Identification: Checking for sources of wireless interference from other devices (microwaves, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, neighboring Wi-Fi networks) or physical obstructions (thick walls, metal objects).
• Router/Modem Diagnostics: Checking the status of your router and modem, looking for error lights, and ensuring firmware is up-to-date. Restarting equipment as an initial step.
• Router Configuration Review: Verifying router settings, including Wi-Fi channel selection (to avoid congestion), security protocols (WPA2/WPA3), and mode (e.g., 2.4GHz vs 5GHz).
• Device-Specific Issues: Investigating if the problem is isolated to one device or affects multiple devices, checking device Wi-Fi settings and drivers.
• Network Congestion Assessment: Determining if too many devices are using the network simultaneously, or if certain applications are consuming excessive bandwidth.
• IP Address & DNS Issues: Checking for IP address conflicts or DNS resolution problems that might prevent internet access despite a Wi-Fi connection.
• Wi-Fi Extender/Mesh System Checks: If you use extenders or a mesh system, ensuring they are correctly configured and communicating properly.
• Security Settings Conflicts: Ensuring security settings are not inadvertently blocking legitimate devices.
