before attempting the complicated troubleshooting try moving you device closer to the router. Being too far away may weaken the signal or cause slow connections. It's also advisable to try connecting other devices to the router to see if it's working. You can try this by connecting your laptop or desktop to the wireless network. When any other device is working the problem may not be the router.
