Moving your network equipment or changing some Wi-Fi radio settings may solve the problem.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Network Range and Power could be insufficient or your equipment is on the edge of the network&#8217;s wireless signal range. Again, moving your gear closer may not be convenient so consider an upgrade of your antenna to improve wireless signal transmission and reception.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Connecting to the wrong network!<strong> <\/strong>Your devices may be connecting to the wrong network without your knowledge. If neighbours are running the same SSID*<br \/>\nthis can cause interference and a range of problems. Take proper security measures to ensure your computers connect to the right network.* SSID &#8211; Service Set Identifier or Network Name. The name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate with each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each computer connected to a Wi-Fi network utilizes a small piece of software called the device driver. The Wi-Fi network device driver controls various functions of the Wi-Fi hardware. Network routers contain related technology called firmware. Network drivers and firmware can both become obsolete over time. Upgrading newer versions of these things can sometimes fix network connection problems. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You could have incompatible software installed or running. This includes operating system patches, operating system services, and other software that modifies the networking capabilities of the operating system. Keep records of each time you install or upgrade software on your computers, and be prepared to uninstall any incompatible software you&#8217;ve added recently.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your Wi-Fi connection drops out unexpectedly for no obvious reason and others on the same network don\u2019t have a problem don\u2019t you feel the gremlins have targeted you personally!
