For some users, the Internet regularly drops out or the network speed is much lower than stated in the Dom.ru tariff. Simple methods described in this article from the AIDS-TEST.rf service will help you increase the speed of Dom.ru Internet or stabilize your connection.
Problems with the Internet may arise due to the fault of the provider or due to problems with the subscriber’s equipment. The user can solve most problems on his own. In other cases, you will need the help of network repair and setup specialists.
Reasons for the lack of Internet Dom.ru
If your Dom.ru Wi-Fi or cable connection does not work, there may be several reasons.
The AIDS-TEST.rf service has selected the top most common reasons for lack of Internet:
- Cable problem. It may be disconnected from the socket, broken or broken along the length.
- The network settings are messed up or not set. If this is your first time trying to connect to the internet, you need to set up your network settings and settings first. Exact instructions and recommended parameters can be found in the appendix to the agreement with the provider or contact the Dom.ru hotline. If you suddenly lose the configured connection, you also need to check the configured parameters. Perhaps they got lost.
- An accident on the provider's side.
- Virus infection of the operating system. The Internet will slow down or disappear completely.
Physical damage to equipment is also possible: cables, router, computer network card. In this case, a repair technician will help identify the problem.
User-side hardware problem
The subscriber can troubleshoot his equipment and increase the speed of the Dom.ru Internet:
- Check drivers. Device managers list the hardware on the user's device. The system automatically determines whether software is installed for each type of equipment. In the network devices section, check the yellow triangles with an exclamation point next to the items. If the icon is there, the drivers need to be updated.
- Track malware. Use an antivirus or operating system defender. Scan all system drives and remove detected threats.
- Reboot your devices. Errors may accumulate in the router and operating systems. They are eliminated when the system is rebooted.
Additionally, check your balance in your personal account or call technical support. A common reason for Internet shutdown is lack of funds in the account.
Problems on the provider side
The Internet may disappear due to the fault of the Dom.ru company:
- Bad weather conditions. During snowfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds, the quality of the wireless network deteriorates and the connection may be interrupted.
- Accidents on servers and equipment. If equipment breaks down, the provider tries to restore access to services as quickly as possible.
- Engineering works. Scheduled work is usually carried out at night. The provider warns about them in advance through a news feed on the website.
If you are sure that there is no problem on your side, call the Dom.ru hotline. The operator will tell you if there is a problem with their lines.
Setting up the Internet
The correct settings help not only restore the connection, but also increase the speed of the Dom.ru Internet on your computer. The problem occurs on new, updated operating systems, after a complete reinstallation of the OS, formatting disks, etc. In rare cases, the network settings get lost randomly.
In the Network and Sharing Center, you need to select your connection and right-click on it. In the context menu that opens, select “Properties”. After clicking on it, a small window with network parameters will open.
Each item can be further expanded to set parameters. You can find out the correct setting from your provider. Usually, instructions for setting up the Internet are attached to the contract if a specialist from the company did not come to the subscriber’s home. If there are no instructions, call the Dom.ru hotline. The operator will tell you how to set up the Internet and what parameters to set.
Installing FIPS
This method will help if such a problem appears on a laptop. Step-by-step instructions on how to fix a Wi-Fi situation without Internet access:
- Click on the WiFi wireless connection icon in the tray at the bottom right of the launcher.
- Next we move on to properties.
- In the window that opens, go to additional parameters. Next, check the box that activates compatibility mode.
- To confirm the parameter changes, click OK.
- We restart the system and check if the error is resolved by reconnecting to WiFi.
Check the speed of Dom.ru
With the AIDS-TEST.rf service you can constantly monitor the state of the Internet.
The site provides the main characteristics of the Internet:
- IP address;
- Provider name;
- Incoming and outgoing speed;
- Ping and latency.
To check your Internet speed, just go to the website AIDS-TEST.rf and start testing through the large button. The check takes no more than 1-2 minutes, the results are guaranteed to be reliable. To get the most accurate readings, run multiple tests in a row.
Changing Windows MAC Addresses
This method is needed if the MAC address of your computer or laptop is blacklisted by the router. Fortunately, the system provides the ability to change the MAC address to any desired one. We fix the blocking problem as follows:
- Open the “Run” window. To do this, you need to hold down the “Win + R” key combination.
- Open the registry editor by entering the command “regedit” in the line.
- Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE—SYSTEM—CurrentControlSet—Control—Class—4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318”.
- Open the directory related to the WiFi adapter.
- Next, you need to create a new value in the registry. To do this, we make a new parameter in this directory and give it the name “NetworkAddress”.
- To change this parameter, double-click on it with the left mouse button, and then enter a new MAC address. It must be a combination of 12 hexadecimal digits. For example, it could be 30583EDA881C.
- For the new settings to take effect, the system must be rebooted. After rebooting, the MAC address will change and you can connect to the WiFi network without any problems.
Basic ways to restore your Internet connection
These simple tips will help you regain access to the network and improve its quality:
- Call Dom.ru technical support. Hotline operators will provide basic assistance or notify you of a line failure. If the problem cannot be resolved immediately, it will be transferred to a second line. A specialist will contact you at a convenient time. If this does not help, the provider will send a repairman to your home.
- Call a specialist. If the provider refuses to help for free or their specialist has not identified the problem, contact the service center. The technician will conduct a full diagnostic and repair the devices.
- Reboot all devices. Sometimes a simple reboot of the router and computer is enough to resolve problems.
First of all, it is recommended to reboot your home equipment. If this doesn't help, contact your provider. The company is obliged to solve the problem. If there is no fault on the part of Dom.ru, you will have to call a specialist on a paid basis.
Reboot all devices
First of all, you need to try to restart both devices - the Wifi router itself and the connected device (PC, laptop or smartphone).
What should I do or does WiFi turn off on my laptop?
There are several ways to restart your WiFi router. The easiest way to restart is by turning the power off and on. To do this, most WiFi devices have a power button on the case. You need to press it until the router turns off, and then press it again to start it. If there is no button on the case, you can do the same by simply unplugging the power cable from the power outlet and then plugging it back into the outlet.
You can also reboot the router through its web interface, that is, programmatically. For example, this is how the corresponding option looks on an Asus router.
When you press the button, the router will automatically turn off and on.
After restarting both devices, you need to try connecting to the wireless network again and check if the problem with WiFi writing without Internet access is still there.
Malware and utilities
Many users neglect protecting their computer and smartphone from malware.
They do not install antivirus software on their operating system and use unverified sites to download files and programs. What to do:
- Install antivirus on your device;
- Run the scan by specifying all system drives to be tested;
- Wait until the tests are completely completed, do not interrupt them;
- Remove detected threats using tools in your antivirus program;
- Reboot your device.
Almost any antivirus is suitable to combat virus attacks. The developers offer a large selection of paid and free versions, as well as trial periods lasting 1-4 weeks.
If the Internet is too slow to download an antivirus, use a standard antivirus. On a mobile device, a rollback to factory settings will help. All files, including malware, will be deleted. In the future, it is recommended to install antivirus software in advance. The programs will help you monitor and remove viruses in advance, before they cause harm to the system.
Resetting DNS communication settings
To reset DNS we will need the system console, as we will need to enter some commands. To launch the command line, you need to hold down the key combination “Win +” R, and then enter the command “ cmd .
It is important that the command prompt is launched with administrator rights, otherwise further commands will not work. List of commands that need to be entered into the console one after another:
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt.
After all commands have been entered, the system must be rebooted for the changes to take effect.
Different subnets
Sometimes a problem with the Internet connection occurs because the computer and the network adapter are on different subnets. This often happens in offices when a new machine is connected to the subnet.
- First, we need to find the IP address of the router. According to the standard, they are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. I personally have 192.168.1.1.
NOTE! The standard address of the router can be found on the label under the device.
- You need to go to the network settings and see what is there. In any Windows, press two keys at the same time:
+R
- We write the command:
ncpa.cpl
- Click OK.
- Next, you need to view the properties of the IPv4 connection.
- Please note that the computer's IP address is 192.168.5.123. And the address of my router is 192.168.1.1. They are located in different subnets and do not see each other. My PC is located in the 5th subnet, and the router is in the 1st.
- Next, it is best to set automatic detection of IP and DNS, as in the picture below.
Weather
A non-obvious reason that many users do not take into account. In small towns and unscrupulous providers, outdated equipment is installed. Network quality drops in bad weather, during thunderstorms, strong winds, frost, etc.
If the speed of Dom.ru has dropped or the network regularly becomes very slow, watch the weather changes. You'll likely find that your internet experience suffers during bad weather.
It is virtually impossible to solve this problem on your own. As long as the provider uses certain technologies, the Internet will depend on the weather. The subscriber may enter into an agreement with another company. It is recommended to choose larger organizations that use modern equipment.
It is important to understand that only under the influence of weather the Internet speed cannot drop to record lows. There are probably cumulative problems with the connection. If you have completely ruled out network slowdown on your side, the best solution would be to change your provider.
Problems with the router or adapter
If the router does not connect to the Internet via cable, this may be caused by problems with the PC's network adapter. To check, connect the provider's ethernet cable to this computer and try setting up the connection. If the network connection is established, then the problem is with the router. If the connection does not work, then the problem is in the network adapter.
Inexpensive routers have poor cooling. When used for a long time, they heat up, which leads to hardware errors. In this case, it is recommended to reboot the router manually. After the device turns off, you need to wait 5 minutes and then turn it on again.
How to fix - quick solution
What to do first? If Internet packets are distributed over a Wi-Fi wireless network, and it suddenly disappears, then the router may have malfunctioned. This happens on old, already worn routers that have been working for more than one year. Our task is simply to reboot the device. This can be done in two ways:
- We find the ON/OFF or ON/OFF button on the rear panel. Press once, wait 5 seconds and turn it on.
- Unplug the power cord from the outlet and after 5 seconds plug it in again.
Sometimes a router is only needed to distribute a Wi-Fi network, and access to the World Wide Web is via a modem. So, just in case, reboot it too.
My old router glitched like this every 2-3 days. He was just old and his time had come to an end. Soon I bought a new one. So, if this problem occurs frequently, then purchase a new device.
