Q&A for How to Fix Your Internet Connection

See if there is airplane mode button on your device. You can also hold down the Fn button, which is in between ctrl and windows button. That should work. If it doesn't, just restart your device.

You can't turn the light off, but you could put a piece of black electrical tape over it so you don't have to see the light.

Go in settings and you will see "airplane mode." Turn that off by clicking or touching it.

Different modems show different lights, but as a general rule there will be an Internet or online light that should be green or blue. Keep in mind, flashing lights do not necessarily mean there is an issue, many lights flash when there is activity. If you can get the manual for the model of modem you have, it will have a description of the lights and what each light indicates.

It might be slow because you're not the only one using it, or the internet itself that you are using is slow. The best way is to just pay for a better internet, but you can also try stopping background internet processes in your computer, or pause any sneaky updates that might be hogging all your speed. Also, wireless internet tends to be slower; if you have a laptop, consider hooking it up to the modem with a cable.

Try looking in your settings and checking your internet connection and speed. It may not be your Xbox one that is the problem.

Try restarting your device, turning off and on your router, or restarting your modem.

Somebody may have change your WIFI password, so check that. You can also select to forget your network and try accessing it all over again.

You need to get the username and password from your ISP. You then log onto your router and run the setup wizard and follow the onscreen instructions.

Ring your service provider. I had the same problem. A technician walked me through resetting the modem to factory settings, then entering the required settings to access their network. This did not work at first, but they told me to leave the modem turned on and it connected the next day when I'd given up on it.

There are many points of failure that could potentially be the problem: malware on your computer, interference on your WiFi channel by other devices, bad router placement, faulty NIC, bad cablemodem, a cable issue outside your house, a bad neighborhood hub, or your cablemodem being misconfigured at the ISP's end, just to name a few. You just have to troubleshoot by systematically testing each point of failure until you've determined the cause.

You should restart your computer, and see if it speeds up. If not, you could clear your cache and defragment your drive.

This usually means the saved password for that network no longer matches up with the network. This commonly happens when your device is connected to Wi-Fi, then the password is changed on your Wi-Fi. To fix this, either forget the saved network on your device, or change the Wi-Fi name on the router.

Assuming your internet connection is alright, it's most likely a problem with your mail app. Try sending/receiving from your mail host's website. If the problem persists, then try using a different mail host or different email client.

Shut down the Kindle Fire first then open it back up, if that still doesn't work go into your network settings to see if you're offline. If this is the case move closer to the network. If that still doesn't work try turning the internet on your kindle off and on. No internet still? Go to the internet box and turn it off and back on, it may take a few minutes to turn back on but it should work.

To fix this issue, try soft resetting your router.

It is not easily fixed, although you can buy a high quality wireless network adapter and this should fix it.

That means that the video is buffering (aka) loading, it just means the internet is having trouble.

This really depends on the circuit that you have. Usually fiber is the best connection possible with endless data. If you have satellite, then the weather could be causing the issues. Sometimes whatever conduit your provider is using is just faulty and you need to get another provider. You can use a free online tool like telecom.live to get some new quotes and order online. If you have ATT or Verizon and are using copper lines, sometimes it’s more costly for them to change out that old wire and you are better off switching providers.

Assuming they are flashing green or blue, that is normal, it's just indicating that there is activity, and there isn't anything wrong. If they are flashing red, contact your ISP.

Try restarting your PC and your modem. Test to see if you can access it on other devices. If you can access it from another device, perform a factory reset. If it still doesn't work, contact your computer's manufacturer If you cannot, try factory resetting your modem/router. If that doesn't work, contact your ISP.

On your PC: Restart. If it doesn't work, contact your manufacturer. On your modem: Try leaving it unplugged for a while. If that doesn't resolve it, contact your ISP.

Try moving your modem to a more open location. If that doesn't work, contact your ISP.

Consult your network provider/website, since most don't allow changing passwords from third party locations.
