Risoluzione dei problemi

Problemi comuni e soluzioni

• Nessuna connessione internet:
  • Check all cable connections (WAN, LAN, power). Ensure they are securely plugged in.
  • Riavvia il modem e il router. Scollega entrambi i dispositivi, attendi 30 secondi, quindi ricollega prima il modem. Una volta che il modem è completamente online, ricollega il router.
  • Verify that your modem is working correctly by connecting a computer directly to it (if possible).
  • Check the WAN indicator light on the router. If it's off or red, there might be an issue with the internet connection from your service provider or modem.
• Slow Wi-Fi Speed or Intermittent Connection:
  • Ensure the router is centrally located and away from obstructions or interference sources (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
  • Adjust the router's antennas.
  • Try connecting to the 5 GHz band for higher speeds if your device supports it and is close to the router.
  • Ridurre il numero di dispositivi connessi o le attività che richiedono molta larghezza di banda.
  • Controlla gli aggiornamenti del firmware.
• Impossibile connettersi alla rete Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure the Wi-Fi function on your router is enabled (check indicator lights).
  • Verify you are entering the correct Wi-Fi password (SSID and password are case-sensitive).
