# What to do if your tablet is not connecting to Wi-Fi?



## Answers

### Answer by Saumya Mishra

## First, rule out simple fixes:

**Restart [your tablet](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/108719/what-to-do-if-your-tablet-is-not-connecting-to-the-app-store).** Often, a reboot refreshes connections and clears minor glitches.

**Turn the Wi-Fi on and off.** Double-check that the [Wi-Fi](https://www.mindstick.com/category/blog/wifi-network) toggle isn't stuck and reconnect.

**Move closer to the router.** Distance matters! Signal weakens with walls and interference.

## Next, check your network:

**Confirm if other devices connect.** This isolates the problem from your tablet.

**Restart your router and modem.** A quick power cycle can resolve [network issues](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13155/contact-mywifiext-support-team-to-resolver-network-issues).

**Check if your network is hidden.** You might need to manually enter the SSID and password.

## If that fails, delve deeper:

**Forget and reconnect to the Wi-Fi network.** This removes saved login data and forces a fresh connection.

**[Update your](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/40478/garmin-express-download-update-your-gps-using-garmin-express) tablet's** **software****.** Outdated software can cause [compatibility](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/303291/best-practices-for-working-with-host-apis-security-compatibility-and-performance-considerations) issues.

**Reset your tablet's [network settings](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50640/how-to-reset-network-settings-on-your-iphone-8-plus).** This is a last resort, as it erases all Wi-Fi passwords.

## Still no luck?

**Consult your tablet's manual or manufacturer's support.** They might have specific [troubleshooting](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1617/desktop-troubleshooting) steps.

**Consider [professional](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13107/scaling-the-gap-between-a-graduate-and-a-professional) help.** A technician can diagnose hardware issues or complex network problems.
