How to Solve Network Issues

Network issues can be frustrating and disruptive, affecting your ability to access the internet, communicate with others, and perform essential tasks. In this guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to solve common network issues. By following these troubleshooting steps, you can resolve network problems and restore connectivity.

General Solutions​

Check Physical Connections​

The first step in troubleshooting network issues is to check the physical connections. Ensure that all cables, routers, and modems are securely connected and powered on. Here are a few things to check:

  • Ethernet Cable: If you are using a wired connection, make sure the Ethernet cable is properly plugged into your computer and the router or modem.
  • Wi-Fi Connection: If you are using a wireless connection, ensure that your device is connected to the correct Wi-Fi network and that the signal strength is strong.

Restart Devices​

Sometimes, network issues can be resolved by simply restarting the devices. Follow these steps to restart your devices:

  1. Turn off your computer, router, and modem.
  2. Wait for a few seconds.
  3. Turn on your modem and wait for all the lights to stabilize.
  4. Turn on your router and wait for all the lights to stabilize.
  5. Finally, turn on your computer and check if the network connection is restored.

Run Network Troubleshooter​

Most operating systems have built-in network troubleshooters that can automatically detect and fix common network problems. Here's how to run the network troubleshooter:

  1. Go to the "Settings" or "Control Panel" on your computer.
  2. Look for the "Network" or "Internet" settings.
  3. Find the option for "Troubleshoot" or "Network Troubleshooter."
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.
  5. The troubleshooter will attempt to identify and fix any network issues it finds.

Step 4: Reset Network Settings​

If the network troubleshooter doesn't resolve the issue, you can try resetting the network settings. Here's how to do it:

  1. Go to the "Settings" or "Control Panel" on your computer.
  2. Look for the "Network" or "Internet" settings.
  3. Find the option for "Network Reset" or "Reset Network Settings."
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the network settings.
  5. Note that resetting the network settings will remove any saved Wi-Fi passwords and other network configurations, so you may need to re-enter them afterward.

Network in China​

Due to the particularity of the network in China, errors caused by network problems often occur during development, such as unable to access Google services, slow connection of some software, slow access to Gradle and Maven sources, etc. these errors caused by network problems can be solved by hanging generation.

Generally, most scenarios provide the option to set agents (such as gradle, or most software), or directly modify the address of the source (such as gradle, maven, conda, etc., which can be changed to the domestic image address). However, in some special cases, it cannot be solved directly by configuring the agent separately. At this time, some global agent software can be considered. Proxifiler is recommended here. Proxifiler can set proxy for an application separately.

Before using Proxifiler, make sure you have configured VPN proxy. Proxifiler provides Windows Version and Mac Version, please refer to the link for specific usage.
