In the information age, almost everyone uses Wi-Fi, as this tool is the most convenient way to obtain information. And most users have come across the fact that the Internet on the laptop via wifi periodically disappears after the setup.

- Low connection speed, which falls and rises during the day (usually decreases in the evening).
- Speed changes in longer periods - it can be stable for several days, after which it begins to fall again.
- Connection Failures devices. The device is connected only in certain places or not the first time.
- Disconnection on the connected device. It manifests itself in a spontaneous disconnection from the Internet network and the same connection. This is often inconspicuous, especially if you have not installed programs that change the status of "online" to "offline" and vice versa when changing the status of the Internet connection (for example, Skype).
- Also, various Wi-Fi problems may indicate application errorsinstalled on your laptop that require constant internet connection.
Identify the reasons for the disappearance of wi-fi on a laptop
First of all, examine the router itself: does the network connection sensor work? Explore the connection path router through the cables to the modem, reboot the laptop, modem and router.
If none of this allows you to find the true reason why the connection is messing up, then you need to find out the "culprit", which may be the laptop itself, the router or the Internet provider. To exclude the last option dial the operator hotline and find out if they have had a recent feed failure.
Can connect the laptop directly to the modem via cable: in the case when the connection becomes stable, this indicates that the problem is in the router or laptop.
Solution methods
If you have determined that the provider has nothing to do with it, then try to get started simple possible ways solutions to this problem:
- Reboot the router.
- Reboot the laptop.
- Connect the chargers of the router and laptop securely.
If these manipulations did not lead to success, we move on.
Problems on the part of the router
A router can “cut a signal” for the following reasons:
Outdated model. Perhaps the model of your router is simply old, and it becomes worthless. First, try updating the firmware of the router. You may need to buy a new router.
Low productivity. Check how many devices are connected through your router to the network, maybe it just slows down from a large number of devices connected to the Internet.
Technical problem. The microcircuit could burn out, the cable or adapter could become unusable.
Important! Remember: you may have dropped the router or pinched its cable in any way earlier.
Interference in the working channelcreated by neighboring outbred networks. You can solve this problem by switching to another communication channel.
Laptop problems
First one most likely reason communication loss - outdated drivers, software for the correct operation of the laptop and router. Update the software on the official website of the company of your router and update the wireless drivers on the computer.
If this is unsuccessful, then you need to disassemble the laptop and conduct him cleaning: Remove dust and other contaminants. Pay particular attention to the wi-fi module: it must be clean. Also check the reliability of soldering the module circuit. The fact is that it can simply be with a half-centimeter layer of dust, and therefore wi-fi will work at a minimum distance from the router.
