WiFi Disconnected
Alert users to weak signals and lost connections with on-screen Autonomous DEM (ADEM)
WiFi disconnected notifications.
WiFi allows your computers and mobile devices such as smart phones or smart
watches to connect to the internet. Your device connects to a WiFi router which in turn
connects to a local WiFi network that lets your device connect your device to the
internet. If the signal strength of the WiFi network that you are connected to becomes
very weak, your WiFi router no longer communicates with the WiFi network and your device
gets disconnected from WiFi. This could also happen if your WiFi router begins to
malfunction. When your WiFi gets disconnected, unless you have a wired connection (using
an ethernet cable), you will be disconnected from your internet. You will receive the
following notification on your device.
| Notification Text | What it means | Suggested remediation |
| You're not connected to WiFi and won't be able to
access internet applications. | Your device doesn't have a connection with your WiFi
router. Either your WiFi router is not functioning properly. It is
also possible that you are too far away from your WiFi router,
or WiFi may be disabled on your computer. |
Check your WiFi connection. Check your WiFi router to make sure it is working.
Alternatively, you can restart your router. Check the
router’s user manual for details on restarting your
router. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to check if
there is a internet outage in your area.

Clicking on the notification opens the Access Experience UI opens.
It provides details about the notification along with some suggestions to fix the stated
problem.
The Review in Access Experience link opens a time series
historical chart displaying the status of your WiFi connection during the last 3 hours.
A slider bar placed at the right end of the chart by default shows you the most recent
status. Move your mouse sideways on the chart across various points in time, to
understand the historical status of the active area. Depending on where you mouse over
and click in the chart, you can view the status and recommendation that was indicated at
that specific time within the 3-hour window. The red dots indicate that a notification
was sent to your device at that time where the dot appears.
To check for historical data indicating if or when the internet was down and a
notification was sent to you in the past 3-hour window, click on the
Internet tab. If there is a red dot on the chart, it
indicates that a Disconnected Internet notification was sent at the time where the red
dot appears.
