How To Fix Wireless Network Connection

This question "How to fix wireless network connection is the most frequently asked question regarding wireless internet. And unfortunately there is no one answer that will solve your problem. I wish there was.

I will never forget when my wireless network connection failed me. I was in the middle of working on a huge project that needed to be completed in just a few days, and I needed my internet connection in order to complete it, when the inevitable happened, my connection would not stay connected. It was the beginning of a nightmare of a problem. I spend one entire day trying to fix it frantically, until I was forced back to running a 20 foot cat5 wire across my house to my computer. It was the only way that I would be able to finish my project and meet the deadline.

Well needless to say, it took another 3 days to get it back up and running after I completed my project. Boy was I one angry person. And do you know what it ended up being, all I needed to do was reinstall my driver. Apparently I had the wrong one installed the entire time, and it was just a freak accident that it was even working in the first place.

Let's look at some of the other problems that it could be so you can learn how to fix wireless network connection and save yourself the many frustrating days that I had to endure.

First let's see if your wireless network adapter is even able to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. If it is not able to then this generally means that the DHCP server component on your wireless router has been disable. This is why you are getting Limited or no connectivity. So you can either enable the DHCP component on your router or you can assign a manual IP address to your network adapter card. It's your choice.

Here are some very common interferences with your wireless connection - walls that are preventing the signal from reaching the computer, cordless phones, microwave ovens and any other devices that use 2.4Ghz. So how do you work around these obstacles and fix your wireless network connection?

Some of them may be an easy fix while other's will not be. So the easy ones first. Keep your laptop out of range of your microwave oven, instead of using a cordless phone that has 2.4Ghz use one that is a 900 MHz instead. You are not going to be able to move a wall so you can make way for the signal, but you can work around them and change the place that your wireless router is right now.

You can find more solutions in some of the forums online regarding these types of interferences.
