5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Wi-Fi Adapter Not Working or Disconnecting

1. Direct Connection: Plug the adapter directly into a USB port on the back of your PC. Avoid USB hubs or extension cables.
2. Reduce USB Devices: Too many connected USB devices (e.g., hard drives, printers) can cause power issues. Unplug unnecessary devices.
3. Power Management: Turn off power saving for the adapter. Go to Windows Key + X > Device Manager > Network adapters > Right-click your Wi-Fi adapter > Properties > Power Management, then uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
4. Connect Automatically: When choosing a network, check "Connect automatically" to prevent needing to reconnect every time.
5. Router Distance: Ensure you are within 30 feet (10 meters) of your router. Avoid thick walls and metal objects between the adapter and router.
6. Update Drivers: Download the latest driver from the manufacturer's website or use Windows Update.
7. Disable Built-in Wireless: In Device Manager, find your computer's built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Right-click each and select "Disable" to prevent interference.

• Move Closer to Router: Position your computer ideally within 10 meters (30 feet) of the router.
• Update Drivers: Visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers.
• Avoid Interference: Do not place the adapter near microwaves, cordless phones, or other devices that can cause wireless interference.
