Question

What should I do if my Windows phone failed to connect to WiFi?

Community Answer

First, make sure your wireless access point is broadcasting in the correct mode. (For example, if it only supports N mode or AC mode, make sure you have mixed mode turned on.) If that isn't the issue, try checking the password encryption security; it should be set to WPA2/AES Personal.

What do I do if I'm connected to WiFi but it's saying the page cannot be displayed?

Community Answer

First, check to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. If not, then try restarting your computer. If someone else in your house has the same problem, attempt to restart the router. If all fails, call your internet provider.
