Wireless Connection Problem

I ran into some internet connection problem. Out of a sudden, I found out that I could not log on to the internet. I did not panic but just sat down and wondered why it happened. My first reaction was to make a call to my ISP to see whether there is any problem with their system. Well, sometimes, you do find ISPs having reported faults in their system and doing some repairing near your area. It happened to me once last week where BT and Virgin had a problem with their switchboard (weird as Virgin is using fiber optics cable). Nevertheless, the problem was rectified in less than four hours.


This time though, I do not have much confidence due to the fact that I have always maintain all the computer systems and internet connections in the house and nothing would go wrong. Well, I was wrong this time. I managed to get connected to my ISP and confirmed that nothing was wrong on their side. I then unplugged the power cable from the modem and also from the wireless router. Next, I unplugged the coaxial cable from the modem and waited for approximately 1 minute.


After the one minute has passed, I then fix the coaxial cable, the power cable to the modem and also to the wireless router and guess what? It worked!!! The internet is back online!!! What is most important thing is not to panic when your internet connection is not working. Generally, by switching off the modem and the wireless router for three minutes before turning it back on again would solve your internet connection problem. Good luck!
