Consider a Mesh System

75%

For larger homes with many devices, a mesh Wi-Fi system can provide better coverage and manage network traffic more efficiently.

Limit Simultaneous Devices

75%

Reduce the number of devices actively using the internet at the same time, especially for bandwidth-intensive activities.

Change Wi-Fi Channel

75%

Access your router's settings and try changing the Wi-Fi channel to one that is less congested.

Identify Interfering Devices

75%

Try turning off other electronic devices one by one to see if the Wi-Fi signal improves.

Check Router Firmware

75%

Ensure your current router's firmware is up-to-date, as updates can sometimes improve performance.

Upgrade Router

75%

Consider purchasing a newer router that supports Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E for improved speed and range.

Minimize Obstructions

75%

Clear any large furniture or appliances that might be directly between the router and the weak signal areas.

Relocate Router

75%

Move the router to a more central location in your home, away from obstructions and at a higher elevation if possible.

Contact ISP for Clarification

75%

If the outage is prolonged and no information is readily available, contact your ISP to confirm if it's planned maintenance.

Review ISP Communications

Выявленные причины

Incorrect Wi-Fi Credentials

75%

The printer may have lost its saved Wi-Fi network name (SSID) or password, or these credentials may have changed on the router. This prevents it from authenticating with the network.

Router Wi-Fi Channel Interference or Band Issues

60%

The printer might be struggling to connect due to interference on the current Wi-Fi channel or if it's trying to connect to a 5GHz band when it only supports 2.4GHz. Some routers also have MAC filtering enabled.

Printer Firmware or Driver Issues

40%

Outdated or corrupted printer firmware or drivers on the computer can cause communication problems. This can lead to the printer not being recognized or failing to establish a stable connection.

Network IP Address Conflict or DHCP Issues

30%

The printer may not be receiving a valid IP address from the router's DHCP server, or it might have an IP address conflict with another device on the network. This prevents it from communicating properly.
