A Few Simple Troubleshooting Steps For Those Who Have Wireless Internet Connection Installed At Thei

You may have got a wireless network installed at your home or office but a small

glitch can result in a lot of inconvenience and let the whole company suffer. There are many firms which are totally dependent upon their network for completing their assigned tasks. A single day without work can result in huge losses for such firms.

To make your network up and running, it is safer to call the wireless network installers who have laid your network but before calling them, you can try some basic steps for troubleshooting. Here are a few elementary steps that can be tried out:

First of all you should perform a visible inspection of the network. Check whether all the networking devices such as routers and modems are connected to the power source. It can be easily determined by checking whether the power light of the device is glowing or not. Also check whether all the cords and cables are properly plugged into the devices. If you feel like any connection is loose, you can try removing the cable and plugging it back

.

Sometimes you will be notified by the system that it is connected to the network but the accessibility is limited. This happens due to a weak signal. Also other appliances can result in interference with the network signal causing distortion. In such cases, you should try to turn off other equipments such as cell phones, microwaves or any other electronic equipment placed in the office.

If you have installed a commercial wireless network in your premise, you can try changing the position of the access point antenna. You can try various antenna positions while examining the signal strength you receive with different angles. If you find a point with less obstacles and more powerful signal, you can change your access point accordingly. You can also try replacing the antenna with a new one if it is making any difference.

When all of the parts have been checked where a hardware fault could have been expected, you should start checking the software part. Sometimes when a new operating system is installed into the PCs, the drivers that are required for running network devices are missing. These are needed to be additionally installed on the systems. If these are not present or a wrong version of them is installed, it can cause problems while accessing a network.

For your PC to get connected to a wireless network, it needs an IP address without which it will remain disconnected. For checking this, follow these steps open the command prompt by pressing windows key and R at the same time, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press enter. As you hit enter, you should get a reply from your PC. If an error is displayed saying request time out or host unreachable then surely there is a problem with the software part or the network. In such case, you will have to call the wireless network installers to fix the issue.
