Question

I am connected to WiFi, but as I drive to a different location, I lose the connection to the internet. What should I do?

Community Answer

WiFi only has a limited range. You won't be able to access your WiFi network once you've driven away from your home. In some cases, it may not even be able to reach your driveway.
