The Wi-Fi appears to be functioning well, but I’m having issues with apps like Steam and Discord. What can I do to resolve this?
If your WiFi is working well for general browsing but you’re experiencing issues with Steam and Discord, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check Internet Connection: Make sure your overall internet connection is stable. Test by streaming a video or downloading a file.
Restart Your Router: Sometimes, simply rebooting your router can resolve connectivity issues. Unplug it for about 10 seconds and then plug it back in.
Change DNS Settings: If you’re having issues specifically with certain applications, try changing your DNS settings to a public DNS service like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Check Firewall Settings: Ensure that your firewall or antivirus software isn’t blocking Steam or Discord. You may need to allow these applications through the firewall or temporarily disable your antivirus to test.
Update Network Drivers: Make sure your network drivers are up to date. You can do this through the Device Manager on Windows.
Reset Network Settings: On Windows, you can reset your network settings by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.
Check for VPNs: If you are using a VPN, it may be causing connectivity issues with these applications. Try disabling it and see if that helps.
Adjust Quality of Service (QoS) Settings: If your router has QoS settings, prioritize Steam and Discord for better performance.
Reinstall Applications: If specific applications are still having issues, try reinstalling Steam and Discord.
Test on Different Network: If possible, connect your device to another WiFi network (like a mobile hotspot) to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with your device or network.
If you try these steps and still encounter issues, please provide more details about your setup (e.g., OS, type of connection, etc.) for further assistance!
