If you can’t connect to your Wi-Fi network at all, you may be too far away from the router. The best place to put your router is in a central location with as few nearby obstructions as possible.

If you’re connected to your Wi-Fi network but don’t have internet access, you need to troubleshoot your internet connection.
How to Access Your Router Settings
Log in to your router to configure your Wi-Fi network settings. Find your router’s IP address and enter it in the URL bar of a web browser, then enter the user name and password. You can usually find this information on the back or bottom of your device. You can create a guest network from your router’s admin interface, configure advanced security settings, and change the default Wi-Fi password.
