The wireless connection may have drawbacks for many reasons, depending on what the problem is a different reason and cause, depending on the cause and reason there is a different process to solve this drawback.


 
For that reason I will explain the main problems that can occur in the Wi-Fi and how to solve these problems (forgive the redundancy).

First of all you probably do not know some terms that can be used in this article, if you know you do not know some of them can see this guide that will help with any of these questions (I recommend it, and then to solve your problem, avoid other future). The more knowledge you have of the subject, the easier it will solve your problema.Los main problems that can occur are explained below.

The name of the Wi-F network appears to you, but you can not connect to the wireless network

This is one of the main problems that can occur if the name of the wireless network will appear in the device, but you can not connect, you can fix this by doing the following:

  • Changing the SSID to the Wi-Fi network: This is because in many cases the device has the same name stored on the computer, when a name was saved on the device it is saved with a profile, if you find on available networks has a different profile you can not connect, it is advisable for this is to rename the Wi-Fi network, but you can also delete that stored in the wireless network device.
  • Changing the type of security to the Wi-Fi network: Some computers when they try to connect to a wireless network you can not be connected because they are not compatible with some types of security, for example, many are not compatible with the type of security WPA2- PSK for that reason it would have to do is change the type of security to WPA-PSK.
  • By changing the frequency to Wi-Fi: Some devices are connected only by the 2.4Ghz frequency, is the modem is configured 5.0GHz frequency can not connect, you have to do is enter the settings of your modem or router and change the radio frequency to the wireless network. To enter the router I recommend you read this manual: 192.168.1.254.
  • If the problem persists you can read this article focuses more on that part.

The name of the Wi-Fi network does not appear so you can not connect

  • The device you want to connect to the wireless network has the Wi-Fi off: Logically if you have the Wi-Fi off in your device can not connect nor wireless networks you will appear, to make sure it can enter the settings your team and make sure that it has the Wi-Fi enabled, if the problem persists you try to connect to other Wi-Fi networks, if it persists, it could be hardware problems on your computer.
  • You have the Wi-Fi off on your modem or router: The wireless network could not be detected by your device because the Wi-Fi could be disabled on the modem, if the device is connected to other networks that confirms that your modem has Wi-Fi disabled, you have to enter your modem settings and enable wireless network.
  • The SSID is hidden: the name Wi-Fi network might be hidden and for that reason can not view the name of your Wi-Fi network. Solves this problem entering your modem settings and changing the option to show / hide the Wi-Fi network.
  • The SSID is not what you think: This can be very silly, but sometimes think that the name of your Wi-Fi will not appear, but sometimes the modem for example loses configuration and takes the factory settings so the SSID changes and it will instead appear other than you think and understand why you can not connect.

He says I'm connected, but I can not surf

  • Sometimes the device says it is connected to the Wi-Fi network, but can not navigate, this may be for the following reasons:
  • are not connected to Wi-Fi: The device may be saying that you are connected, but you can not browse that actually are not connected or network is out of range, you can do is to follow the procedures of the first case It explained in this article.
  • Computer problems that prevent navigation: In some cases the Wi-Fi can say that you are connected, but you can not browse that you have a virus or application that violates the sailing team and that stops you can not browse, you can try uninstalling the and newly installed applications and scan your computer with an updated antivirus programs.
  • Be video could help further.

drop connection in the Wi-Fi

  • This disadvantage may be due to the following reasons:
  • Another modem or wireless device is interfering with the Wi-Fi signal: This is by the transmission channel of the wireless signal, if for example you have a device cordless phone or other modem that have Wi-Fi near your modem that can present interference to your Wi-Fi because if the channel of transmission of both teams is the same presents problems dropped connection, this can be solved entering the settings of your modem and wireless changing the transmission channel, also it tries to change the SSID to Wi-Fi to keep you problem free.
  • Limiting modem: According to modem settings it may be limited to a certain number of devices to connect, when that limit comes, if one tries to connect, it will get, but one of the devices that are connected lose connection. To solve this problem the modem settings you can set a limit of more extensive equipment to avoid such drawbacks.

The Wi-Fi connection works very slowly

  The problem is not the Wi-Fi but the Internet: In many cases attributed this problem to the wireless connection without first testing if it happens that very slowly connecting a computer to the modem via cable, always check if the problem is cable and you can confirm that the problem could be your Internet connection or the computer you are connecting, if you tested with more than one computer, you can be problems of your Internet settings or Internet connection, you can consult this manual and this to solve common problems Internet connection.
