Q: My internet is down again. What can I
do to fix it and why does it go down all
the time?
A: There are several reasons why you may
not be able to connect to the web. The
first step you should take is to power
cycle your modem and router by
unplugging them from the wall and
waiting for 30 seconds before plugging
them back in. If that doesn’t work check
to make sure that you aren’t using a lot
of bandwidth. ISPs(Internet Service
Providers) have been known to
temporarily shut off a customer’s
internet access if they are using too
much bandwidth. Another cause of this is
your computer being a part of a “botnet”
which means your PC is being controlled
by a virus or Trojan that could be
sending thousands of spam emails from
your PC. Call Desktop Doctors today for
a Virus Scan and Removal! |
