When You Just Can't Get It Connected
You've bought a new device or moved house and you need it on the WiFi but it won't connect. Wrong password? Wrong network? Just confusing?
💡 Pro tip: The most common WiFi connection problem is mistyping the password. Capital letters, zeros vs O's, 1 vs l - it's fiddly typing on a phone keyboard or TV remote.
Why This Can Be Annoying
| ✅ Connected Right | ❌ Frustration |
|---|---|
| Working first time | "Password incorrect" (you've tried 5 times) |
| Device remembers network | Have to reconnect every time |
| Internet access confirmed | Connected but "no internet" |
| All devices talking properly | WiFi shows connected, nothing works |
Sometimes devices are just fiddly - tiny on-screen keyboards, confusing menus, hidden settings.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to have a go yourself? Here's the basics:
🔧 What you'll need
- Your WiFi network name (SSID)
- Your WiFi password (usually on router label)
- The device you want to connect
- Patience
📱 For phones/tablets:
- Open Settings
- Tap WiFi or Network
- Find your network name in the list
- Tap it, enter password
- Tap Connect or Join
- Check WiFi icon appears at top of screen
📺 For smart TVs:
- Press Settings/Menu on remote
- Navigate to Network or WiFi
- Select Wireless Setup
- Choose your network from list
- Use remote to type password (painful but necessary)
- Confirm and test
🖨️ For printers:
- Most have WiFi setup wizard in menu
- Select your network
- Enter password using printer's screen/buttons
- Print test page to confirm connection
- Install printer on your computer via network
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Confusing similar network names (yours vs neighbour's)
- Caps lock issues when typing password
- Typing O instead of 0, or 1 instead of l
- Connecting to 5GHz network when device only supports 2.4GHz
- Router set to not accept new devices
💡 Pro trick: If you can't find your WiFi password and it's not on the router label, connect a laptop that's already on the network, go into WiFi settings, and view the saved password. Easier than resetting the whole router.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple new devices to connect? Do them all in one visit - I'm already there with your WiFi details, makes sense to get everything online.
2.4GHz vs 5GHz: Some routers broadcast two networks - one for each frequency. 2.4GHz has longer range but slower speed. 5GHz is faster but shorter range. Older devices might only see the 2.4GHz network.
Guest network: If you've got guests visiting, put them on the guest network (if your router has one). Keeps them separate from your main devices and you can turn it off when they leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What devices can you connect?
Pretty much anything with WiFi - phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, printers, security cameras, smart speakers, thermostats. If it has a WiFi connection option, I can get it online.
Why won't my device connect to WiFi?
Usually wrong password (easy to mistype), device trying to connect to wrong network (if you've got multiple), or the router's blocking new devices. I'll work out what's happening and get it connected.
Do you need my WiFi password?
Yes - either written down or I can find it on your router label if you don't know it. I won't remember it or write it down anywhere, just type it in and get your device connected.
Will it stay connected after you leave?
Yes - once a device is connected and the password's saved, it'll auto-connect whenever it's in range. Unless you change your WiFi password or reset the device.
Can you improve my WiFi signal while you're here?
Not really my area, but I can tell you if signal's weak and suggest getting a WiFi extender or moving the router. If you want full WiFi troubleshooting, you'd need a proper IT person.
