F.A.Q.
Why are my devices failing to connect to Wi-Fi?
Your devices may be failing to connect to Wi-Fi due to a momentary network issue. To resolve this, you can try turning off the Wi-Fi on your device and then re-enabling it, or unplugging and replugging your Wi-Fi dongle. If these steps don’t work, you can also restart your device and try connecting again, followed by restarting the router itself.
