Problems with the loss of connection or speed Wi-Fi connection can be caused by many factors. Some of them are difficult to detect. Below you can find a collection of frequently recurring problems with the Wi-Fi connection with their solution. We hope the following information will be helpful in recognizing and resolving recurring problems.

1. Radio interference.

The loss, in whole or in part Wi-Fi, can be caused by interference or interference the Wi-Fi signal. While the settings and network selection, should take into account the presence of factors such as walls, large furniture and electronic devices in the room. A large number of electronic devices and appliances emit radio waves with a frequency, which in a large way can affect the performance of Wi-Fi router. For interference to radio while connected to Wi-Fi in your home can also be affected by the following items:

 - Microwave ovens
 - Wireless phones
 - Cameras to observe children
 - Wireless doorbells
 - Wireless monitoring devices, eg. For reading temperature, electricity consumption etc.
 - Aquariums with fish
 - Christmas lights, etc.

Disabling these devices or moving them to a place outside the range of Wi-Fi signal, in most cases solves the above mentioned problems.

2. Insufficient network coverage.

You'll notice that the devices located in the end of range of Wi-Fi signal, connect the speed will drop dramatically. In order to provide greater signal strength, we recommend moving a decoder relatively close to the access point Wi-Fi (router).

3. Using second telephone socket.

For ADSL Internet connections, type of telephone sockets in your home can have a direct impact on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal. Totally we recommend that in order to connect to the Wi-Fi router, use only the main telephone socket. This will help solve the problem of decrease in the speed of connecting and interference during the connection process.

4. Unknown connections.

Problems with Wi-Fi network can be caused by the presence of unknown calls. For example, some electronic devices and computer programs can independently connect to the Internet, as part of their planned tasks, the same process that uses a lot of space in internet traffic. As a result, you may find difficulties in connection speed and suddenly lose the current connection. To prevent this, make sure that you know all this kind of potential connection. You can either turn off completely or change the time of scheduled tasks for another hour.

Securing network access password is also very important. Totally we recommend that the network was password-protected access, for unknown connections can be caused by people and devices on the outside of your apartment / house.

5. Overload / Overheating of the Wi-Fi router.

Wi-Fi routers do not overheat very often, but in spite of all this is possible when the Wi-Fi router is used intensively for a long time. Overheated or overloaded routers tend to unexpected interruption of connection.

6. Outdated drivers Router Wifi.

Slow connection may suggest non-upgraded drivers on your Wi-Fi router. Try to keep a check on the router manufacturer's website in order driver updates and when they are available make install new drivers.

7. Problems with compatible programs.

Most Wi-Fi routers can be configured on PCs and laptops, and software router does not have to interact with other programs. If you notice problems, combined with its Wi-Fi network after you have installed new software or upgrade your operating system. Try reinstalling the router, uninstall new software, or restore your computer system to an earlier state. This will help identify the software status, if in some way it causes a conflict.
