1. Press the Start button, input the Control Panel, and launch it.
2. Click on Troubleshooting.
3. Select View All.
4. Click Network Adaptor, and the instructions that follow are easy to understand.

2. Reset your router

1. Locate the Reset button at the back of the router.
2. Press and hold the button for about 10 seconds till the SYS led starts flashing rapidly, then release the button.

3. Uninstall and reinstall the network driver

1. Right-click on the Start button
2. Open Device Manager and navigate to Network adapters.
3. Right-click on the Wi-Fi device and click the Uninstall device option.
4. Restart your PC.

4. Update the network driver
