How do I get my internet back working?

If you’re facing internet connectivity issues and wondering how to get your internet back up and running smoothly, there are a few simple steps you can take to troubleshoot. First, unplug the router and modem. This action helps reset the connection and clears out any potential issues. Once they are unplugged, wait for at least 30 seconds. This brief pause allows the devices to fully power down.

After the 30-second mark, plug in the modem and turn it on. Modems are the gateway to your internet service provider, so ensuring it has a stable connection is crucial. After plugging in the modem, wait for another 60 seconds to let it establish a connection with your ISP’s network.

Following this, it’s time to plug in the router and turn it on. The router distributes the internet connection throughout your home or office, so it’s a pivotal step in restoring your internet. Give it about two minutes to fully power up and establish its connection with the modem. After this short wait, you can test if your connection has returned by trying to load a webpage or streaming a video.

In summary, to get your internet back working, follow these steps: unplug both the router and modem, wait 30 seconds, plug in the modem and wait 60 seconds, then plug in the router and wait 2 minutes. This process helps reset and establish the connection between your devices and your internet service provider, resolving many common connectivity issues.

(Response: Following these steps should help you restore your internet connection. If the issue persists, you may need to contact your internet service provider for further assistance.)
