As a tech enthusiast, I like to know what’s going on with the gadgets I’ve bought over the years. Also, the way I work requires me to have a good and reliable internet connection. If your orbi stopped connecting to internet, check all wifi connection.
I did a lot of research and decided to buy the Netgear Orbi because I knew the router was crucial to making an internet connection more reliable. It is one of the best routers you can buy and gives you the fastest speeds. Over the past year, my router has worked without a hitch.
But it started to act up last week. The router just stopped being able to connect to the internet. I thought the router was broken and I would have to buy a new one. But before I looked for a new router, I researched on my own to see if this problem could be fixed.
This is a fairly common problem with Orbi Routers, and there are a few ways to fix them. If your orbi stopped connecting to internet, check the network settings first. Check the cables, use the Windows troubleshooter, or turn your router off.
Check the settings for your network
Most of the time, if your router isn’t working, it’s because orbi keeps losing internet. Checking the network settings should be the first thing you do.
Make sure an Ethernet cable connects your modem to the device you use to connect to the internet. If the system is still offline, there is a problem with the internet connection, not the router. Connecting a new device to the router is another way to see if you’re not getting full internet speed through your router.
Follow these steps for Android phones:
- Click on Settings.
- Select Wi-Fi.
- Choose your connection to the network.
- Tap “Forget Network.”
- Wait a minute or two.
- Join the network again.
Here are the steps to take for laptops with Windows:
- Click on the Wi-Fi icon in the bottom left corner of the taskbar.
- Click on the connection to the internet from the list of connections.
- Don’t worry about it.
- Wait a minute or two.
- Join the network again.
The router may be broken if you can’t connect to the internet. If that’s the case, you might need to look into other ways to fix the problem.
Use the Windows Network Troubleshooter
If you can get online but can’t connect to the network, the problem might be with how your Orbilogin router is set up.
Here’s how to get the Network troubleshooter to work.
- Press your keyboard’s Windows and S keys together.
- This will bring up the search box.
- In the search box, type “Internet connections.”
- Click Find and fix network problems in the new window of orbilogin.com.
- This will bring up a small window on the screen.
- To see more options, click on “Advanced.”
- Click the button that says “Run as administrator.”
- Then choose the option to fix things automatically.
- Now press the button marked “next.”
- The troubleshooter will start to run and check and fix what needs to be done.
Check the wires
Most of the time, a problem with the internet is caused by broken internet cables. Even though the service provider can cause some issues, broken internet cables are common, especially if you have pets that like to chew on wires. The main question here is how to figure out if there is a problem with the wiring or not.
The easiest way is to look at the router’s DSL and internet lights. If the DSL light is on, one of the wires that connect to the router is probably broken. The Ethernet cable may be broken if the light keeps going on and off.
But before you call for professional help, unplug all the wires from the router and plug them back in. Make sure that each cable fits snugly in its port.
Last Words on Why Your Orbi Won’t Connect to the Internet
If your router can’t connect to the internet, it could be because of several things. Check all the switches and adapters as a result. Each access point needs to be turned on. On top of that, you can also use a coaxial cable.
Plug the coaxial cable into your router and then into your PC. This will help you determine if the problem is with the router or the connection to the internet. Also, the problem is likely with the modem connected to the router. If you can’t figure out what’s wrong, you might need to call a professional.
