Updates for network cards aren\u2019t all that common, but if your card\u2019s manufacturer offers a newer driver, download it. Resetting your router and modem can help with connection problems, too. Most routers and modems have reset buttons, but pulling the power cable for a second or two can do the same thing. Don\u2019t cut the power for much longer, or the hardware may reset itself to factory defaults.<\/p>\n<p>Still having problems? Call your #ISP, which can tell you whether the problem is on your end. As a last-ditch measure, the ISP could reset the master connection to your home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ember4880\" class=\"hashtag-link ember-view\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/content\/?keywords=%23ChinaIT&amp;origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\" target=\"_self\" data-control-name=\"update_hashtag\">#ChinaIT<\/a>\u00a0<a id=\"ember4883\" class=\"hashtag-link ember-view\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/content\/?keywords=%23ITissues&amp;origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\" target=\"_self\" data-control-name=\"update_hashtag\">#ITissues<\/a>\u00a0<a id=\"ember4886\" class=\"hashtag-link ember-view\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/content\/?keywords=%23Techsupport&amp;origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED\" target=\"_self\" data-control-name=\"update_hashtag\">#Techsupport<\/a>\u00a0#ChinaITSolutions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<section class=\"bodee\">\n<div id=\"drr-container\" class=\"cat\">\n<p>For the link on our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6391893195340509184\">\u00a0LinkedIN page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>And you can follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/ssbg\">Linkedin for technological updates and news related to business transformation in China.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or Check our blog for more updates on common tech issues: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssbg.com.cn\/cn\/blog\/\">https:\/\/www.ssbg.com.cn\/blog\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SSBG vs common Tech Support issues: Episode 2 Downloads are taking forever Speedtest.net\u00a0is your best friend when you&#8217;re having #connectivity problems.
