text: network problem? my home internet connection was orignally working fine. now, when i connect to the net work, my computer sees the network and says the signal strength is good. however, i am unable to connect to the internet. when i switch to a different network that i am able to pick up, the signal strength is low but i am able to connect to the internet. how can i fix my home network connection? try unplugging your modem and router.  wait 10 seconds, plug in your modem, wait for it to acquire a signal, then plug in your router.  it sounds to me like a router issue.
