Why Wi-Fi may not work on a laptop and how to fix it. Wi-Fi Internet stopped working through a router

Used by a huge number of people. It is both convenient and very easy. But no matter how simple the connection through this type of connection is, situations are still possible when WiFi does not work. And in order to restore the network, you need to find the causes of the problems, which will be discussed.

Does not work WiFi due to transmitter

A transmitter can be called a WiFi device to which other devices are connected - WiFi modem, WiFi access point, etc. Naturally, if this equipment stops broadcasting, then the end devices will also not work.

It is easy to determine the WiFi transmitter's performance - you need to go to the section where your equipment connects to the network. Both on phones, tablets, smartphones, and on any modern computers that support such a connection, this section should display the name of your WiFi network. This will make it clear if your transmitter is working.

However, it often happens that there may be several networks in the district. How do you know if yours is on the list? Very easy - just turn off the equipment and update the list - if one of the names disappears, then this was your network. Now turn on the WiFi transmitter and update the list again. If a new name appears, then this is your network.

So we figured out whether your device broadcasts. But if when you click on the inscription, a connection occurs, but WiFi does not work (still), what should I do then? Here is a completely different question. Now we have understood for sure that the WiFi network actually works, but if there is no Internet, this is already a matter of the settings of the transmitter itself (if the problems are due to its fault). Here, the following situations may be to blame:

• WiFi transmitter not configured or configured incorrectly.
• The Internet is completely blocked on your device by viruses, an antivirus, a non-working proxy server, an Internet provider (for technical reasons).
• Internet payment required.

To fix some of the above problems, a comprehensive check is required, which not everyone can do, but a call to the ISP's office is enough to start.

Does not work WiFi due to the fault of the end device

Very often, the reason for the inoperability of a WiFi network is the user himself or his equipment. If WiFi does not work on the end device, then you should pay attention to the following:

Unfortunately, it is impossible to give all the reasons within one article. But in order for the average user to find out why WiFi does not work, this fundamental knowledge is enough, which should give the reader basic concepts from which to build on in the future.

WiFi is a unique wireless technology that is incredibly popular all over the world. Now there are very few people who prefer the usual wired Internet. Connecting and setting up Wi-Fi is not difficult. But even in such a perfect system, sometimes errors occur due to which the Wi-Fi stops working. The most common is a problem with connecting a Wi-Fi router.

Some people are faced with a situation where the router is connected to the network and works, but does not distribute: the computer cannot “see” the available network. Why is it so? There may be several reasons for the occurrence:

lack of installed network drivers;

hardware type errors;

arbitrary shutdown of the connection to the computer - it is obvious why in this case the device does not work as it should;

malfunction of the wi-fi module;

WiFi router failure.

There are other problems, but the ones listed above are the most common reasons why the device does not work. Therefore, we will focus on them.

Problem with network device drivers

Testing the WiFi module driver is carried out in the "Device Manager". This section is located in the Start menu. You can also get to the section through the "My Computer" shortcut by pressing the right mouse button.

In the "Dispatcher" you can see all the devices connected to the computer. We will be interested in network equipment. You need to go to the branch with network drivers. If the branch is missing, it means that the drivers for the wifi adapter have not been installed on the computer.

If there is a branch, one of the network devices may have a “!” sign. This means either the absence or incorrect functioning of one of the drivers. Each of the problems is easily solved with a simple reinstallation of the software. Usually, the software is located on a disk attached to the computer. The wifi adapter for device manager might be called Wireless Network Adapter. Also, everything you need can be downloaded from the Internet using a mobile connection (if another is not available at the moment).

How to check the status of a wireless connection

If everything is in order with the drivers, then the next step is to check the wireless connection. It can simply be disabled. Testing is carried out differently on different operating systems. But it all comes down to one thing: you need to get into the "Network Control Center".

There is a universal way. You need to press Win + R, after which a window with a line will appear. In the line you need to type the command control panel and press Enter. This will open the Control Panel. Here we go to "Network and Internet", then to the "Network and Sharing Center". In the "Center" we will be interested in the section "Change adapter settings", located on the left. Clicking there will allow you to see the status of all connections that are available on the computer.

"Wireless connection" - that's what will be important to us. If the label is not colored, but gray, this means that there is no signal. You can start the connection by double-clicking the left mouse button. After starting, the computer starts searching for all available connections.

If they do not appear, then you can try to perform system diagnostics. It is carried out through the "Network Control Center" and the item "Change adapter settings". Right-click on the "Wireless Connection" shortcut. In the window that opens, click the "Diagnostics" field. The computer conducts the test itself. Based on the result of the check, the user receives advice on what to do next.

What to do if a hardware error occurs

A hardware error would indicate a problem directly within the network card. In a word, if the computer does not see the adapter for connecting to Wi-Fi, it means that this Wi-Fi device is not functioning. There are two main reasons:

the device is broken;

there was a problem with wifi drivers.

The second option has already been described by us. However, if Wi-Fi drivers are available, and the computer continues to not see the adapter, this means a breakdown. One of the most common causes of failure is the combustion of the device.

The cause of combustion may be overheating if the computer has been operating at its maximum capacity for a long time. If we are dealing with a laptop, then this happens even more often here, since many users forget the device on a soft surface that blocks access to the hole through which cooling air enters. This problem is solved by simply replacing components with similar ones.

It should be borne in mind that the lack of experience in independent manipulations with computers can lead to even more disastrous consequences. This is especially true for laptops, which have a more complex design. The best way out is to contact the service center, they will accurately determine the reason why the device does not work.
Hardware-type connection errors also include a disconnected antenna. Most often, this problem occurs in laptops or desktop computers that have been cleaned or repaired in some way. The specialist who carried out the procedure could simply forget to connect the device, or he connected it incorrectly. This makes it impossible for the adapter to function normally, which does not work normally and cannot normally catch the signal distributed by the router, even when it is close to the source.

A rather rare case is the clogging of the antenna terminals with dust. This breaks the internal contact. The solution to the problem is cleaning.

Why Wi-Fi router does not distribute the Internet

The connection problems described above refer to malfunctions in the computers themselves. But often there are problems that are related to how the router works (or rather does not work) and does not distribute the Internet.

There are two main problems:

inability to establish a wireless connection;

no access when connected.

These failures can be easily solved on your own, without resorting to the services of specialists.

How to solve a problem with connecting to a wireless connection

Testing how the router works begins with checking the status of the indicators that are located on the external panel of the router. During normal operation, the LED next to the antenna pattern will be either solid or flashing. If there is no glow at all, it means that the wireless module is not running on the router. On certain models, there is a separate button that one of the family members can accidentally turn off.

The lack of a button makes it a little more difficult to solve the problem. You need to go to the "Wireless Network" section located in the web interface of the router. In the English menu, this section is called "Wireless". There is a checkmark next to the "Enable" box (in English - "Enable"). A mouse click may solve the problem.

It is possible that when the device does not distribute the Internet, the malfunction is related to the radio channel used. Most router models have an automatic configuration function. If it is missing, you can try to install the 1st or 6th channel. They should be suitable for our country.

It happens that it becomes impossible to connect to a wireless network, as the network displays a message about an incorrectly typed password. It is worth checking the security settings in the web interface. The set encryption type must be AES. The general security standard is WPA2-PSK.

How to solve the problem if there is no access while connected

Quite often it happens that the connection starts, but the process itself takes a long time. The status shows the message "Obtaining IP". After a while, the connection is dropped.

This means that network clients cannot obtain an address due to a disabled DHCP server. You can check this through the settings on the local network. You will need a LAN section, where there should be a checkmark next to the DCHP parameter.

Access problems may occur due to incorrect operation of DNS servers. Incorrectly assigning them to network clients or not assigning them at all, as well as unstable servers, are the three main reasons.

The solution to the elimination problem is as follows. You need to use public DNS. They are provided by Yandex and Google. In the first case, you need to set 77.88.8.8 in the settings, and for Google this value is 8.8.8.8. Data is entered on the computer in the properties of the Internet protocol of any version of TCP/IP.

Conclusion

All of the above are troubles that you can get rid of on your own. In any other situations, it would be better to contact the provider's technical support or professional craftsmen.

Wi-Fi technology is very widely used in the life of a modern person, because it allows you to easily and quickly solve the problem of connecting to the Internet without using conventional wires. This is especially true in the case of using laptops, with the help of which you can access the Internet in any convenient place due to the presence of a built-in Wi-Fi adapter.

That is why the situation when Wi Fi does not work on a laptop leads to significant inconvenience and even some problems. There are many reasons why Wi-Fi may not work on a laptop computer. It is simply unrealistic to solve the most serious of them on your own without the help of specialists, but there are quite a lot of those that can be completely eliminated on your own. Let's consider them.

Problem with laptop or router?

A fairly common problem that a laptop has stopped connecting to a WiFi network is not a problem with the laptop itself, but with the settings of the router, which distributes the network. Thus, the laptop can be configured correctly, but Wi-Fi still does not turn on precisely because it has nothing to connect to.

To eliminate the possibility that the problem is related to this, you should try to connect to the network from any other device that is equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter - from another laptop, smartphone, tablet, and the like.

If Wi-Fi does not work from another gadget, then the problem lies precisely in the Wi-Fi router distributing the Internet. If the connection is successful, the problem is in the laptop and before solving it, you first need to determine why Wi-Fi stopped working.

Hardware enable adapter

Based on such diagnostics, you can accurately determine that this problem arose precisely through the fault of the laptop. When Wi-Fi does not work on it, you can try using several methods.

The first one is to check if the wireless connection adapter is enabled on the laptop. Almost all modern models have light indicators of the WiFi module and there are special key combinations for its hardware activation.

Usually, a lit indicator indicates that the module is on. If the indicator does not glow at all or shines in red, then the Wi-Fi does not work precisely because of the wireless network adapter. It needs to be enabled.

Most often, such indicators are located directly on the keyboard, side or front panel of the device. Sometimes they are located on the monitor case or near the touchpad.

To enable the module of such a network, press the key combination Fn and one of the system F1-F12. The specific combination depends on the laptop manufacturer. Usually, the corresponding antenna icon is located on the desired key. If it is not there, then to enable Wi-Fi, you should try pressing the combination standard for a particular model:
Fn+F3 for Acer;
Fn+F2 for Asus, Dell or Gigabyte
Fn+F5 on Fujitsu devices;
Fn+F12 on HP laptops.

After pressing the appropriate keys, we check whether the indicator of the wireless connection module lights up or whether it stops glowing red. After that, you should try to connect to the network again. If this does not help, go to the next step.

Software inclusion

When Wi-Fi stopped working and its hardware inclusion does not give positive results, it is also necessary to implement its software inclusion, which is carried out directly from the operating system under which the laptop is running.

To programmatically turn on WiFi that has stopped working on Windows 7, 8 or 10, you need to perform the following sequence of actions:

1. On the notification panel, which is located near the clock, the network connection status icon is selected;

2. From the list that opens, select the "Network and Sharing Center" or "Network Settings" item, depending on the version of the operating system;

3. The next step is "Change adapter settings".

Among the list of all existing connections, you need to pay attention to the color of the "Wireless Network Connection" icon. If your WiFi does not work and the wireless adapter is disabled, then the connection icon will not be highlighted. In this case, right-click on its icon, select the “Enable” item from the context menu that opens. In this case, the color of the connection icon should change.

At the same time, the wireless network adapter turns on, it remains to find the desired one in the list of available wireless networks and connect to it.

If, after such actions, Wi-Fi, which has stopped working, continues to be inactive, you need to move on to the next method to solve the problem.

Installing and updating the driver

Quite often, the Wi-Fi wireless connection does not turn on due to the lack of a driver or when it is very outdated. To determine the presence of an installed driver, you need to select the "Properties" item from the context menu of the "My Computer" icon, which is located on the desktop or in the "Start" menu. Next, in the window that opens, select the "Device Manager" command from the menu on the left.

In the new window that opens with a list of connected devices, you need to find the name of the laptop's wireless network adapter. Usually its name is “Wireless Network Adapter” or “Wireless Network Adapter”, along with which the manufacturer of the device should be indicated: Realtek, Atheros, Qualcomm, or something else.

Having found the desired item and clicking on it with the right mouse button, "Properties" is selected from the context menu. In the window that opens in this case, the item "The device is working properly" should be present. But even if there is a mark about the normal operation of the device, this is far from a guarantee that the correct driver version is installed and Wi-Fi is turned on correctly. To check it, in the window with the properties of the wireless device, go to the "Driver" tab and pay attention to the items "Date of development" and "Vendor".

In the event that the supplier is Microsoft or the date of development of the program is several years behind the current one, go to the official website of the laptop manufacturer and download the latest official version of the driver.

The same should be done if there is no wireless adapter in the list of installed devices.

If the wireless module is present in the list of devices, but marked with a yellow exclamation point, this means that the device is disabled, as a result of which the network has stopped working. In this case, having opened the device properties window, you need to click the "Enable" button.

Another reason why Wi-Fi stopped working on a laptop may be that the power saving mode is enabled, which prevents the wireless connection from working. To disable it, you need to do the following:
1. Open Control Panel;
2. Select the "Power" icon;

3. In the window that opens, select the "High performance" or "Balanced" mode.

External signal obstructions

It's also worth noting that a broken wireless network can also be the result of more than just laptop problems. The wireless connection signal depends on some external factors that can weaken it. Ceilings, walls, floors, and similar obstacles significantly degrade the signal quality of the access point and laptop.

As you know, the signal quality on a personal computer is displayed in the form of several marks - the more there are, the better the signal is. If the wireless connection level is displayed as 1 or 2 marks, then you can not try to use WiFi - in this case, it will not work properly.

In this case, you need to move the router closer to your workplace, move your workplace closer to the Wi-Fi router, or buy a new, more powerful router.

Other causes of Wi-Fi problems

The causes of problems with the functioning of the wireless network adapter described above are the most common and you can fix them on your own.

It is worth noting that all these are software methods for solving the problem, which will be solved by installing, reinstalling or updating the device driver, as well as performing some operations with the OS.

But often the problem with the operation of the wireless connection module lies in hardware errors. What are these errors? These are problems that are directly related to the board itself, most often - its physical damage.

To fix such problems, you will need to disassemble the laptop. It is worth noting that such actions can only be performed if you have certain skills in this area. If such skills are not available, it is better to entrust the work to professionals.

One of the most common physical damage is an unconnected antenna wire to the proximity module. This problem occurs with laptops that were under repair or if their owner cleaned the cooling system from dust on their own. In such cases, the antenna is sometimes simply forgotten, as a result of which the adapter will not be able to establish a connection even near the signal source itself. To fix this problem, you just need to connect its antenna to the Wi-Fi module.

Sometimes the reason that Wi-Fi stops working is the usual overheating of the network card. This is most often the result of the laptop being placed on some kind of soft surface. The thing is that at the bottom of the device there are holes through which cold air enters, cooling all the computer boards. By blocking these openings, the system will overheat, which can lead to the failure of certain components.

Another common cause of device overheating is dust, which can prevent cold air from entering the cooling system.

That is why, in order not to encounter such problems, it is recommended to clean the laptop from dust at least once every year: in this case, it will be possible to avoid repairing the laptop as a result of overheating of its components.

In the most advanced cases, the wireless adapter may even burn out. In this case, only replacing it with a new one will help. You can determine such a problem using the device manager, in which the module will simply cease to be displayed. When you try to install a driver for a wireless network, a message appears stating that the corresponding device is not installed in the system.

If nothing helped

If none of the tips above helped, you can use a simple, but at the same time often effective solution: restart both the computer and the wireless router. Please note that after a reboot, the router turns on for up to 5-10 minutes before it starts distributing the network. Be patient. Also, despite the opinion of many skeptics, sometimes the troubleshooting function that is in the Windows operating system helps to solve problems with a wireless network.

Thus, most of the existing solutions to the problems associated with the fact that Wi-Fi stopped working on a laptop were listed above. Almost all of these methods and recommendations can be used by anyone who has encountered a similar problem, since this does not require any special skills.
If nothing helps, and the wireless network does not start working, there is only one way out - to go to a quality service center for help, where they can solve any problems with a laptop.

If the article did not help solve your problem and Wi-Fi still does not work, write in the comments, I will try to help.

It is difficult for a modern person to imagine life without access to the World Wide Web. The times when there was only one computer in the family are long gone. Now people use tablets, smartphones, laptops that are equipped with a WiFi module. A wired router without wireless network support has already become irrelevant. It is not able to provide Internet to all available gadgets. How to be? Of course, replace it with a device that works in WiFi mode.

Previously, routers were quite expensive. Their setup required special knowledge. Now everything has changed dramatically. Router manufacturers have tried to make their devices not only accessible to every customer, but also as simple as possible. Buyers who have purchased devices from brands such as ZyXel, Asus, D-Link and others will be able to verify this. Their range includes both budget models and expensive ones.

However, even though the configuration of routers is as simple as possible, sometimes users experience failures. For example, no WiFi signal. There are many reasons for this failure. Therefore, let's figure it out together how to set up a TP-Link WiFi router and other brands, as well as fix problems with a wireless network yourself.

Wireless network: symptoms of a problem

As soon as the user first encounters failures in the operation of the router, he begins to look for reasons in the device itself. However, in rare cases, it is it that fails. As a rule, the problem lies in the settings. Moreover, it is important to note that you need to check them not only on the router, but also on a gadget that cannot connect to an access point. Most of all, users are concerned about why the router does not distribute the Internet via WiFi.

What signs may indicate a malfunction?

• There is no signal.
• Long connection time.
• Low internet speed from router.
• Frequent network failures and reconnections to WiFi.

If you find such signs, you will need to check the correct connection and configuration of devices.

Search for the guilty

When it is not possible to figure out why the router does not distribute the Internet via WiFi, but at the same time connects to the network, you need to find out what or who is to blame for this. To do this, a number of specific actions are carried out:

• provider cable. Its performance is checked in the following way: connect it directly to the computer and make all the necessary settings. If there are no problems with the Internet, then the reason should be looked for in the router.
• Wireless network settings. After checking the cable and connection, we can conclude that the device itself is functioning correctly. The problem may be in the wireless network configuration. There are devices that are equipped with the function of turning on / off WiFi.
• Checking devices. There are cases when the malfunction lies directly in the device that connects to the network. In order to verify its performance, it is enough to connect from another gadget.

Why does the router not distribute the Internet via WiFi? The reasons

If, with an active connection, the user cannot access the global network, then the reason for this is the errors made when setting up the router.

• Incorrect entry/determination of the IP address.
• The transmission channel is set incorrectly.
• Incorrect DNS value.

The first two mistakes are made by users themselves when creating a wireless network. And this is the reason that the TP-Link WiFi router does not distribute the Internet. The same problems are relevant for routers of other brands. As for the last error, several factors can affect the value, such as a virus on the device.

To fix such a problem, it is not necessary to contact qualified programmers. All the user needs is a cable that allows you to directly connect the Internet, a PC or laptop and, of course, the router itself.

How to set up a TP-Link WiFi router?

Devices of this manufacturer are in high demand among domestic buyers. Therefore, it would be fair to start with him. Entering the settings is standard - entering the address in the browser line. After authorization, you need to find the WAN item in the Network tab. It will prompt you to select the type of connection. You can get it from your provider. The computer has the current values ​​of the gateway, subnet mask, provided that the Internet cable is directly connected to the device. In some models, it is possible to activate automatic detection. After that, you can proceed to the WiFi network settings. To do this, you need to find the Wireless tab. In it, the user selects the Wireless Settings item. On the page that opens, you will need to enter the name of the network. Be sure to select a region for correct operation. In the line with the transmission channel, it is recommended to set Auto. Then click Save.

Now you can start protecting your network. How to change the password on a TP-Link WiFi router? All settings are located in the Wireless Security section. Entering it, the user is prompted to select the type of encryption. Most programmers advise using WPA/WPA2. By activating it, you can enter a user key. After that, be sure to save and reboot the router. If necessary, the network access key (password) is changed in the same way.

Asus routers: setting up a wireless network

In addition to the two models described above, Asus routers are popular in Russia. They are easily and quickly configured using a special program. Ideal for the novice user. In modern models, the firmware has an intuitive interface. All tabs are presented in Russian.

How to change password on Asus WiFi router if you don't remember it? Very easy. It is enough to connect the device directly to the PC via a cable. Then do a full reset. The router will reboot and the user will be able to enter all the data.

Network setup on a D-Link router

Why does the router not distribute the Internet via WiFi? In order to answer this question, you need to go to the "Network" tab. In the WAN item, check the correctness of the selected connection type. It is important to note that there are some providers that work with MAC address binding.

Most devices with new firmware have the function to automatically configure the wireless network. To do this, go to the "Quick Setup" item and activate the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard". At the end, save the results. There may also be a WiFi tab. It is enough to select "Enable".

Setting up a WiFi network on ZyXel routers

In the product range of this brand, it is easy to choose an excellent WiFi router for an apartment. According to many users, these devices are characterized by reliability and high signal quality. However, sometimes there may be problems with the wireless network. The reasons and solutions have already been described above. But in order for the user to know exactly where to correct the error in the settings, the instructions below should be followed step by step.

1. Entering the settings - 192.168.1.1.
2. In the interface that opens, select the "Internet" tab and check the connection type.
3. Go to WiFi network. There, check the parameters of the network standard, channels.

It is important to pay attention to the selected signal strength.

We all use the Internet while in cafes or restaurants, with friends, even at home at the dinner table, checking mail or messages in the same Vkontakte. As practice shows, one of the most common problems occurs when working with Wi-Fi wireless technology. Let's say we have an access point located in the house from the router or in a public institution. Everything seems to be configured correctly, but for some reason there is no access to the network.

So, what to do if you encounter such a problem? In fact, there may be a dozen reasons, each of which we will consider in this material!

Wi-Fi on Android is on, the status is "Connected", but there is no Internet access

Let's say that you have activated Wi-Fi on your smartphone and connected to an access point. Your phone displays the “Connected” status, but you cannot access the Internet, both using a browser and through other programs, for example, Odnoklassniki. What should we do in this case?

First you need to check if the Internet works for this connection at all. That is, you need to gradually eliminate the list of possible causes by elimination, and checking the Internet is the very first of them.

Try connecting to this hotspot from another device and go online. If everything is fine, then the reason is in your smartphone. If another device does not connect to the Internet or does not open sites, then the point is already in the access point or router itself.

Solution 1 – Proper Wi-Fi Router Configuration

First, check if your smartphone is within range of a wireless network. Typically, routers can distribute a signal up to 200 meters, provided that there are no obstacles in this radius. If everything is in order with this, then go to the settings of the router.

Change the channel your access point is on. Usually it is set to Auto, but we advise you to set the 6th or another channel. Choose any of the available ones, save the changes and check the performance.

You can also change the mode of operation for Wi-Fi. As practice shows, by default, the 11bg mixed mode is usually set everywhere. Change it to 11n only.

If you have a column in the settings for specifying the region, then be sure to set your region there. This is a minor parameter, but in very rare cases, even it can affect the correct operation of the access point.

Solution 2 – Setting up a proxy server

Another possible problem is the automatic selection and setting of a proxy server for a specific access point on a wireless network.

To fix it:

1. Go to "Settings" on your device
2. Next, select Wi-Fi or "Wireless networks", depending on the version of Android
3. Find the access point you are connected to and hold your finger on it for a few seconds. An additional menu will appear in which you need to click the item "Change network"
4. Check the box next to "Advanced options" and select "Proxy settings"
5. It remains only to check the box next to "No", after which the proxy server will be deactivated

Wi-Fi enabled on Android but Google Play and other apps not working

If Wi-Fi is activated on your smartphone and it is connected to a specific access point, but the phone does not open sites, does not load pages and applications on Google Play, check that the time and date settings are correct. This is a very common user error! In 90% of cases, it is she who causes connection problems.

You only need to set the time and date correctly, reconnect the Internet, and then try to log in to Google Play and view one of the applications on the page.

Why Wi-Fi does not work on Android: other reasons

1. Incorrect password. Sometimes the Android operating system saves the password for a particular access point, but when you connect to it later, there are no notifications that the password is not correct. We advise you to check the correctness of the input and change it if necessary. As you understand, in public places there are usually open access points, but there are also closed ones. To guess the password to them, you can use special programs, for example, from the same Google Play, where users share information around the world.
2. Software problems. Another common reason that is related to your system software. To check the correct operation, you can use the Wi-Fi Fixer application. Just install it on your device and run it. There you will also be able to view a complete list of networks for which the data you have connected to has been saved. Reboot your phone and try connecting to the hotspot again.
3. Malicious applications. It is possible that viruses or Trojans have appeared on your phone that block the operation of wireless networks. In this case, you will have to manually install an antivirus, for example, Kaspersky.
4. Incorrect settings. We have already talked about the settings of Wi-Fi networks. If you can’t change them, then you can simply reset to factory settings. You may also have old access point entries. For example, you connected to it, as it says in the system, although in fact the connection was not made. Just update the list of networks in the settings or delete everything and try to update again, and only after that connect to a specific Wi-Fi point.

But what to do if Wi-Fi is connected, but the Internet still does not work even after all the recommendations described? Most likely, your Wi-Fi module itself is not working correctly. The following will help here:

1. Phone firmware if the reason lies in the software part of the smartphone. If you do not know how to flash Android operating systems yourself, it would be better to contact a service center.
2. Repairing the Wi-Fi module. If the phone firmware does not help, then the problem lies in the wireless network module itself. In this case, you will have to take your smartphone to a service center and replace parts.

This is not a complete list of reasons that cause Wi-Fi failures. If you have experienced similar situations, and you solved them in some other way, be sure to tell us about it in the comments for our readers!
