Much of what you do on your computer or smartphone likely relies on using the internet. A strong Wi-Fi connection is necessary for entertainment, work, and communication. As a result, problems with your connection are frustrating. It’s essential to know how to handle a few of the most common problems people have connecting their used Apple^® product to the internet, so you can get back online as soon as possible.

3 Common Internet Issues With a Used Apple Product

1. Power to the Router

If your network isn’t showing up on any devices, check that the status indicator lights on the router are on. If they aren’t, try disconnecting the power supply and plugging something else in, such as a lamp, to test the power. If the power supply is working, replug the router and wait for the status indicator lights

2. Device Setting Problems

If you can get connected on most of your used Apple products but one device won’t connect, then you know the problem lies with that device. Check the settings on that device by going to “System Preferences” and clicking “Network.” If the settings are listed as on, restart your device and see if it will connect.

3. Dropping Connections

Dropped connections occur occasionally, but it shouldn’t be a regular issue. Your other appliances in the home could be interfering with your network. For example, you might find that your connection drops when you turn on the microwave. Consider changing your router channel on the Mac^® to find a less congested one.
