WiFi issue

[festinator]

So this just started today. My WiFi will show that it is connected, but the internet won't work. Turning WiFi off then back on works for a while but the problem always comes back. Hard resets have the same effect as turning WiFi off then back on. Any suggestions?

Are you on your home network? Try any of the following:

1. Reboot the router. Unplug the power, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait 20-30 seconds for the connection to reestablish.
2. Access the router's settings (check the manual to learn how) and turn off the security temporarily--this will tell you if the security is causing problems. If you can connect without problems, then reenable security, but try a different encryption protocol (i.e., WPA instead of WEP or vice-versa, or AES instead of TKIP or vice-versa).
3. Install Wifi Analyzer on your device and see if there are any other wifi networks in your vicinity that are using the same channel. If so, try changing your router's channel (in the router settings).

The first step worked. Thanks so much!
