The connection drops but the signal indicator remains visible.
I have a regular problems with my home WiFi. My first thoughts are that the problem lies with the Router. To begin with my Broadband is fine for UK standards, its Plusnet fire Optic, 40Mbps Down and 30Mbps Up. But my problem is that it sometimes loses connection, the actual signal icon still appears in my task bar as connected but with no internet, it will stop working for less than a minute before it starts again, it will do this between every 30 minutes to every 5 minutes. There are often 4-5 people connected don multiple devices. I use the router that was provided with my Broadband, Will replacing this fix the problem? Cheers
Consider trying a different Wi-Fi router from someone you know or at work before swapping it out. Check whether it also blocks the signal. If it does, the problem is likely with your ISP’s equipment—contact them first to reset it; if the issue persists, replacement is probably needed.
Are there any times when the internet goes down across all connected devices? It’s really annoying when the connection keeps failing, even after you restart the router. A basic fix usually helps. Also, reach out to your ISP—they might be dealing with an issue affecting multiple users.
