How to fix Wifi modem error that cannot access the network
 

Method 1. Restart Modem, Wifi Router

The easiest and simplest way to fix the error is to restart the Modem or Wifi Router. Restarting will help reset all necessary processes, this is the most commonly applied method and also the method that gives the highest positive results.
 

Method 2. Check if the Modem is hot or not

Wifi modems may fail when operating in high temperature conditions. If used for a long time or placed in a cramped, poorly ventilated environment, high temperatures can reduce the modem's performance. To avoid this, make sure the modem is placed in a well-ventilated area and clean the device regularly to avoid dust clogging the ventilation holes and cooling system.
 

Method 3. Check the Modem connection cable

This is one of the important but often overlooked steps. Make sure that the connecting cables are properly and securely plugged in. Also, if you are using a router, check that the indicator lights are on and working properly. Loose connections or broken cables can also be the reason why the Wifi modem cannot connect to the network.

Method 4. Review antenna and modem location

An important factor in ensuring a stable Wifi signal is the location of the modem and antenna. Avoid placing the Wifi modem near metal objects or electronic devices that can cause interference, such as microwaves or refrigerators. These factors can reduce the signal and cause connection loss.

Also, make sure your modem's antenna is positioned in the most favorable direction to optimize coverage. If your modem has two antennas, you can position one horizontally and one vertically to increase the ability to transmit a stronger and more stable signal.
 

Method 5. Reset the entire Modem

In case the above methods are applied but there is no progress, it is best to try resetting your entire Wifi Modem and setting it up again from the beginning.

There is nothing difficult about this issue as we have written many articles on how to reset the Modem. If there is no other solution, reset the Modem to return the device to its original state.
 

Method 6. Modem is broken

If all of the above solutions do not help the Wifi Modem work again, then my condolences to you, the Modem is most likely broken and you should buy another device to replace it.

There are many other reasons why wifi cannot access the network such as: Lost wifi connection or cannot connect; weak or unstable wifi connection; incorrect wifi password; conflicting IP address; problem with wifi software or driver. After fixing the error, you should regularly change the wifi password to protect your connection.
