The cause of the current fault is a Problem specific Router is to the group, according to models when dialling into the network. Who has home problems with the Internet, you should restart the Router. A Telecom advises speakers to take the device from the power and wait at least three seconds. After that, the Router can be connected again – that should be enough to fix the Problem.

The first step in this case should be always a view to the Router, says Thorsten Neuhetzki from the online portal “Teltarif.de”. The devices have glow in the rule-of-Control, with which the connection with the network check. “Not a light in there anything that lights up, otherwise, there is probably a fault,” says the expert. Similar as in the current case, a Router reboot is always a good idea. “Broken, nothing can go.” Also this does not help, stay mostly just patience.

Another tip: “In any case, the disturbances to be documented and the provider report. As an alternative to a refund, then a replacement tract may be required.” A surf stick, with the consumer to the solution of the problem to the Internet can go, for example.
