How To Resolve Limited Or No Connectivity Issues
There are times when our router and modem appears to be perfectly connected and we still don't receive the internet connection. There is an error which pops up on the right side of the screen which says limited or no connectivity or it can be saying no internet access. In this article, we have illustrated a few tips and change in settings to make sure that you receive proper internet connectivity.
Perform A Power Cycle
Sometimes, doing a simple power cycle by plugging your router off and on can resolve this connectivity issue. But, when you are not able to tame this issue with a power cycle, you need to do something more. Following the below steps would help.
Check With Your ISP
Before you go and check all the hardware set up, you must always contact your ISP and confirm the things. You need to verify that the internet connection is successfully working from his side.
Check The Hardware Set Up
If the ISP confirmed that the connection is properly working from his side and you are still juggling with the same issue, then surely there is something wrong with the whole set up of hardware devices. You need to see that the router, modem and the system are connected, turned on and even functioning properly. Restart your devices. You can also refer to the manual guide which came up with your router and modem to dig into the details and cure the problem. Else, you can always contact Router technical support for any kind of assistance with this.
Verify Your WEP Key
When you are using the wireless type of connection, there is a WEP key which is allotted to you so that nobody gains an unauthorized access to your connection. It protects and safeguards your connection. You should possess the correct WEP key and supply the same. Otherwise, it might get difficult for you to secure the connection.
Try To Run The Windows Network Repair Utility
If even after performing the above steps, you were unable to gain access to the internet, then you should try to use the Windows Network Repair Utility. This might resolve the issue.
Try To Connect The Modem Directly
When you still can't connect to the internet, you can try to unplug the router from the modem and connect your system directly with the modem. If the internet connection works this way, then probably there is some issue with the router. You must contact the router's manufacturer or get the router replaced with a new one.
