How to Troubleshoot Wireless Router Problems
2
Reboot the Router
  • Have you tried rebooting it? Yes, once again,the
    lowly reboot is the solution to many network
    problems. Whether websites are failing to load,
    everything network-related seems slow,
    connections are dropping, or your wireless is
    flaking out, you may just want to try rebooting
    your router.
  • If you have to frequently reboot your router, the
    manufacturers firmware may just be unstable and
    buggy. Installing an alternative firmware like
    DD-WRT might help.

3
Check for Overheating
  • Like any other electronic device, routers can
    fall prey to overheating. This overheating can
    damage the router over time or just make it
    unstable. Check your routers temperature to see
    how hot it is. If it seems very hot, ensure that
    its getting enough airflow. If the vents are
    blocked or you have the router in a hot location
    like on top of a tower PC that heats up
    overheating could be causing instability. Its
    also possible that past overheating may have
    damaged the router.

Verify Cables Are Securely Connected
  • This may sound like a no-brainer, but we
    sometimes forget to check the most obvious
    solution before moving on to more complicated
    ones. Someone may have accidentally pulled on or
    kicked a cable, causing it to unplug or become
    loose. You should check all of the cables
    involved and ensure that theyre securely
    connected.

5
Reposition the Router
  • You should also ensure that the routers antenna
    is positioned vertically rather than horizontally
    a vertical antenna will give you the largest
    coverage area.

6
Change the Wireless Channel
  • If youre in a location with a lot of wireless
    routers nearby, like an apartment building,
    theres a good chance your router is subject to
    interference from other wireless routers sending
    signals on the same wireless frequency.
    Determining the optimal wireless channel for your
    area and changing your router to operate on that
    wireless channel instead of a more congested one
    can reduce this interference, improving your
    wireless signal.
