What should I do if I can't connect to the internet via WiFi and my WiFi name is not listed on the available networks?

Try to perform the steps below:
 

  • Verify that your router's power and WiFi lights are both solid blue.
  • To assess if you have WiFi range issues, try moving your laptop or mobile device closer to your router.
What should I do when my WiFi is slow, inconsistent, suffers from a weak signal, or has difficulty maintaining a connection?

To reduce signal degradation, do the following:
 

  • Clear obstructions between the router and your devices, such as walls, fixtures, furniture, and metal appliances.

  • Add another Linksys E9450 as a child node to extend your WiFi signal.
What if my internet light is solid orange and I cannot get online?

Try rebooting your modem and router, then wait for a few minutes. If you are still unable to get online, connect your computer directly to your modem to check for connectivity, or call your internet service provider (ISP) to check for any connectivity issues with the modem.
