Restart your router and check if the issue persists. Ensure your device's IP settings are set to 'Obtain an IP address automatically' in the network settings. If problems continue, release and renew your IP address via the Command Prompt with the commands `ipconfig /release` and `ipconfig /renew`. Update your router firmware as outdated firmware can cause connection issues. If none of these steps work, contact your ISP for further assistance.
