Wi-Fi troubleshooting checklist

  • Run a wired test first to separate Wi-Fi problems from provider problems.
  • Restart the router; unplug for 30 seconds if it has been on for months.
  • Place the router high, central, and away from metal, mirrors, and aquariums.
  • Connect important devices to the 5 GHz (or 6 GHz) band, not 2.4 GHz.
  • Pause cloud backups and downloads on other devices while you test.
  • Test near the router, then in the problem room, and compare.
  • Replace routers older than five or six years — they cap modern plans.
  • Persistent dead zones need a mesh node or a cabled access point, not a cheap repeater.
