Got internet connection, but can’t get the Wi-fi working?

You’re not alone, there are some people who commonly experience this issue.

The good news is, I’ve got the fix for you and it’s very simple!

Let’s dive into the first and most basic fix first.

Of course, how can we start having Wi-fi connection if the source(Modem) itself is dead. Please make sure that your Modem is On.

2. Then click Network & Internet
