How to troubleshoot your wifi/wireless router. Many things can cause your router to go offline. I’m going to guess that you are surfing along and no connection or you come to your computer, there is no connection. You didn’t do anything and it’s not working! Which can be very irritating. But try these simple steps before you spend time calling the internet company or calling a paid technician to help.

* Reboot your computer, see the connection comes back online
* If you are on a laptop, make sure you didn’t turn off your internet switch (usually on the side or in the front)
* If that fails, unplug the power plug on the back of the the router for 10 seconds, plug it back in.
* Check the computer, give it a minute to cycle back online
* If that fails, unplug the router from the wall and plug it back in (no wait time needed).

Try those steps before you jump into your internet connections and start messing with the settings. Some users have gone into their network connections and deleted some very important things, so leave that to the technicians.
