Define the failure scope
Decide whether the issue affects one app, one device, one room, or the entire site.

Use these diagnostics when you need to understand where a connection is failing. The goal is to isolate the layer that changed, not to jump straight to a fix.
Start with the cleanest test you have, then change one variable at a time.
Use the cards below to narrow the fault to a specific layer.
Confirm the adapter, IP address, DNS settings, and recent changes on the device itself.

View guideSeparate a local problem from an upstream issue by comparing wired, wireless, and external tests.
View guideVerify that browsing failures are not actually a resolution or filtering problem.
View guideMove from isolation into the support workflow once you have a clear result.
A structured order keeps the investigation efficient and repeatable.
Decide whether the issue affects one app, one device, one room, or the entire site.
Use a wired device or a known-good connection to establish whether the network is healthy.
Change one thing at a time: device, cable, SSID, port, DNS server, or access point.
Save the timestamps, test results, and error details before handing the case off.
Use the support checklist to pass along the exact tests you ran, the device involved, and the result of each step.
