Whether you work from home, watch movies on a TV service, or shop online, you probably rely on a good internet connection.

Therefore, you could encounter major problems if the Internet suddenly crashes.

In this report, published by Forbes magazine, the American writer Harriet Meyer presented some possible solutions to prevent internet disconnection.

Check your devices

If there is an internet connection on your smartphone, then you are simply facing a problem with the device you are currently using.

Turn the device off and back on to restore connection.

You may need to reconnect by clicking the "WiFi" button, find your network, and enter the password.

Next, try network diagnostics or troubleshooting options to see if that indicates any specific problems.

Restart your router

The author advised trying to turn off the "router", and wait a few minutes before turning it back on again. Often times, restarting the router quickly fixes the disconnection.

Like any electronic part, your router may have suffered a slight malfunction, or overheated, and needs to be restarted.

Get close to the router

Check the "Wi-Fi" icon on your device to see if the signal strength has decreased or is particularly weak.

In this case, the connection may not be strong enough to connect to the Internet;

So you have to get closer to your router and note whether this method is effective or not.

Use an internet cable to boost the connection

You can connect the cable directly to the router, and connect it to your computer. This method solves the problem and gives you a more effective connection.

Contact your internet service provider

If you are unable to solve the problem on your own, you can contact your internet service provider.

He knows very well how to correct the matter, and is able to determine the cause of the defect, which may be caused by the interruption of service in your area.

Use a "mobile hotspot"

If reconnecting to the Internet fails, you may be able to use your smartphone's data connection to create a "Wi-Fi" hotspot, known as a "tethering".

This option is available on most smart phones, and you only have to choose the Wi-Fi settings on the computer or any other device, and enter the personal password;

But be careful, as this may result in your phone data being drained.

Request faster internet service

It is advised to increase the speed of the internet if the internet remains interrupted by switching to another internet package, and if you do not get the speed that you promised, contact the service provider to find a solution.

Replace your router

If your router is old, or not powerful enough, you might want to get a new one.

Ask your service provider if they can provide a better quality router.

Reduce your dependence on the same internet connection with your family members

Most of us have more than one device in a home connected to the Internet, and with the pressure on the connection at the same time, the quality of service will undoubtedly suffer.

In return, try to ration consumption;

But if this is not possible, search online or talk to your service provider about possible options to boost the strength of the connection.

Consider changing your provider

Finally, if you are not satisfied with your internet service, you may want to change your service provider (carrier).

You can bundle phone, TV and broadband services together in one package. Once you have decided which option is right for you, the new service provider must take over the process, including canceling your current contract.
