# Console Not Connecting to Internet

## Quick Answer

Console internet issues are usually router-related or caused by network settings that need refreshing.

Please note:  This guide is provided for informational purposes only. Any steps you choose to follow are at your own discretion and risk. If you're unsure, we recommend booking a professional diagnosis.

## Quick Checks

Try these fast checks first — they solve most cases.

1.  Restart the console and router
    
    Power cycle both devices.
    
2.  Try a wired connection
    
    Use an Ethernet cable for more reliable connectivity.
    
3.  Check other devices
    
    If nothing connects, the issue is the router or ISP.
    
4.  Test internet connection
    
    Use the console's built-in network test.
    
5.  Check for service outages
    
    The online service (PSN/Xbox Live/Nintendo) may be down.
