Is the broadband down or is it just my Wi‑Fi?

A wired test at the main router separates the incoming service from the wireless layer. If wired works but Wi‑Fi does not, focus on coverage, interference or the client.

What to check

Gateway speed/WAN health; Ethernet test; multiple clients; room pattern.

When to get help from a person

Escalate if the gateway test is below profile after isolation.

On a managed Wi-Fi plan

Compare gateway test/telemetry with client RSSI, band, node and retries.

On another provider's router

Use the ISP’s own router/service test where available.

What to be careful of

Do not promise an engineer until the fault domain is established.
