Keep your wireless router in the open and not hidden by plants or furniture. The fewer the obstructions, the better the signal.

If possible, connect using an ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.
Reboot your router. Most routers have a reset button, but if you are unsure, check the instructions provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Note: Your internet router may take up to 10 minutes to fully reboot.
Restart your computer if your it is not connecting to the network but other devices are still working online.
Close other programs and disconnect devices that consume bandwidth. Limit non-essential activities (such as streaming or gaming) while you are working.
