Devices keep getting kicked off WiFi throughout the day
Your router is likely overheating or has too many devices connected at once. Restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. If that doesn't fix it, move it away from heat sources and make sure the vents are clear.
When all your devices drop WiFi at the same time, the problem is almost never your phone or laptop. It is your router getting tired, overheating, or running out of bandwidth. We will restart it, check its placement, and look at what is connected to fix this.
- ✓Make sure your router's vents are not covered by anything like a blanket or books
- ✓Feel the router now and note whether it feels warm compared to when it first turned on
- ✓Have your router settings ready or the ability to log in to see the list of connected devices
- ✓Have a count of how many devices are connected to your network (you'll see this in Step 1)

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Plugging the router into a power strip that shares power with other devices like a microwave. These can interfere. Plug the router directly into a wall outlet.
- Placing the router inside a closet or cabinet to hide it. This blocks airflow and makes it overheat
Signs you need professional help
- If your devices keep getting kicked off after restarting the router and improving its placement, the router itself is failing. Give us a call and we will help you decide if it needs replacing.
