1. Check the internet connection

Before starting to investigate further, make sure the internet connection is available in your home or workplace. You can do this by checking whether other devices, such as your mobile phone or tablet, are connected to the network. If the other devices are connected but your Mac is not, follow the instructions below.

1. Restart the Mac and the router

Sometimes, restarting the Mac and the router can solve internet connection problems. To do this, turn off your Mac and the router, wait a few seconds and then turn them back on. If your Mac still doesn't connect to the internet after restarting them, try the following solutions.

1. Check the network configuration

Sometimes, the network configuration can be the cause of internet connection problems. To check your Mac's network configuration, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen and select «System Preferences».
2. Select «Network».
3. Verify that the internet connection you are using (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) is enabled. If it is disabled, click the «Turn On» button.
4. Click «Diagnostic Assistant» and follow the instructions to identify and solve internet connection problems.

4. Try a different Wi-Fi connection

If you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, try connecting to another Wi-Fi network to see if the problem persists. If you can connect to another Wi-Fi network without problems, it is possible that there is a problem with your original Wi-Fi network. In that case, try restarting the router or contact your internet service provider for help.

1. Reset the network configuration

If none of the previous solutions have worked, resetting your Mac's network configuration may be the solution. Keep in mind that this process will delete all Wi-Fi networks and passwords saved on your Mac. To reset the network configuration, follow these steps:
