My Internet connection keeps timing out

Question

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron Windows 10 laptop computer. Lately, when I try to connect to the Internet, my connection keeps timing out. I use the Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edger browsers. With Edge, the browser keeps trying to make a connection until it gets one. But I have never had this problem before, and I am just wondering if there is some adjustment that I need to make? Thank you

You may also want to check out Dell's Networking & Wireless Support Center for other steps that you may want to try.

Let me know what brand modem / router that you're using, and the model number, as well as if you've updated the firmware. There are a lot of different causes that can explain why you're seeing your connection drop but hopefully we can figure out what is causing yours.

Hello Adrian,

Thank you for the information. I have a Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop,

< Private Express service code removed.TOS73>

I am currently using my OnePlus Nord10 Android phone as my internet connection, via USB cable to my Inspiron laptop. This worked perfectly, until a few days ago. I can get Internet on my phone with no problems. I am not sure where to find the modem / router information.

But thanks for your help !
