How to solve Wi-Fi issues

If you are having trouble connecting to the internet, it may be because your Wi-Fi connection is weak. Here are some tips on how to tell if it’s a Wi-Fi or internet issue, and who is responsible.

TIPS

Steps to test and fix Wi-Fi issues

  • Restart your modem.

  • To tell if it’s a Wi-Fi or internet issue, try plugging a computer or laptop directly into the modem. If this resolves the connection issue, it’s likely a Wi-Fi issue.

  • If it is a Wi-Fi issue, move your modem to a different place and test again. If you can connect to the internet, this may be the best place for the modem.

  • If you’re still having issues, try connecting different devices by Wi-Fi and compare.

Responsibilities

Who is responsible?

  1. Your provider supplies internet services up to the modem

    Your provider is responsible for services to your modem. We can ask a provider to test the modem if they supplied it.

  2. You are responsible for Wi-Fi if the modem is not faulty

    If the modem is not faulty, we cannot make your provider fix your Wi-Fi signal, supply a free or discounted booster, or upgrade your speed for free
