In this article, we'll help you understand what to do when the Internet goes down. We'll look at the main reasons why the connection goes down, and share tips on how to fix it and how to stabilize the Internet during work.

Causes of connection loss during work

When the Internet goes down, it's not always possible to solve it quickly. Sometimes it's a minor thing, and sometimes there are serious issues that can take days to sort out. Here are some of the main reasons why you might lose your connection:

• Unpaid tariff
• Failures at the service provider
• Problems with the equipment
• VPN and remote access features
• Difficulties with the router
• Damaged cables
• Network overload

How to quickly restore an Internet connection

If the Internet has stopped working, you shouldn't panic. We have prepared several steps that you can use to quickly restore the connection:

1. All genius is in simplicity, so first you need to check your payment. It is much more convenient to do this through our Personal account “MyBriz”, where you can control the balance, pay for services without commission and much more.
    
2. Sometimes the reason may be due to maintenance or technical work. You can check our website for the latest information.
    
3. Check the device you are working on for viruses, software updates. Sometimes even the smallest changes in the system can affect the stability of the Internet connection, especially if you have made them recently.
    
4. If you use third-party services to access the network, such as VPN or SIP telephony, you need to check their settings in detail. The provider is not responsible for their operation.
    
5. Have you repeatedly noticed that the Wi-Fi network is not working well? We would recommend you to do a detailed diagnostic: check the router settings, try rebooting it, or update the firmware. You can also use our tips for improving your internet.
    
6. Possibly, your pet chewed the cable or someone accidentally touched it, which led to poor or no connection at all. Check everything and make sure that all cables are safe and connected securely and tightly.
    
7. If you have many devices connected to the Internet at the same time, the router may not be able to handle the load when watching videos or downloading large files, and as a result, one of the devices may start to slow down. In this case, just try to reduce the load and pay attention to your tariff plan.

Tips for stabilizing the Internet

To improve the quality of the Internet and stabilize it, you need to follow the basic rules:

1. Correct placement of the router

• The router should be placed in the central part of the apartment or house. It is better to place it in the middle of the room, so the Wi-Fi coverage will be uniform.
• Do not place the router in the corners of the room or near walls, large metal objects such as refrigerators or microwaves, cabinets, mirrors, which can severely interfere with the signal. It is also not recommended to mount the router in an enclosed space.

2. Use a wired connection as much as possible

• A wired connection is much more reliable, so it's worth connecting your laptop or PC now if you haven't already. You'll avoid the delays and signal difficulties that can occur over Wi-Fi. 

3. Update the router software

• Routers, like other devices, need software updates. This can improve the stability and performance of the router. You can check on the manufacturer's website or automatically update in the settings through the web interface. 

4. Choose your tariff plan:

• You should definitely think about upgrading your tariff plan. A speed of more than 100 Mbps will help you avoid delays, especially during important work tasks.

What to do if the trouble with your internet connection happens regularly

If your difficulties with the Internet do not go away even after following all the steps, you should pay attention to:

• An old router is the anchor of your internet, pulling it down. It may be the main reason why everything is so slow. We are all moving forward to new technologies, and the most important thing is to have a good signal. After all, even the fastest tariff will not help if your router is not able to fully utilize modern capabilities.
   
• If you're using a VPN and are experiencing constant interruptions, the reason may be related to its settings. Check your configuration or contact your network administrator to make sure everything is in order.
   
• Don't hesitate to contact our technical support. We will look into your issue in detail and provide recommendations so that you can get back online without interruption.
