Method 3: Driver Update

Drivers have properties to be outdated due to the fact that the operating system is constantly updated and defined settings change. Therefore, the problem with the connection of the modem may be associated with irrelevant software. You should update it manually by performing such actions:

Go to the official website of MegaFon

1. Use the link above to go to the official website of the modem supplier company, where you are interested in the "Catalog of the goods".



2. Select the category "Modems and Routers", and then re-click on "Modems".



3. Lay the appropriate model in stock or display archive devices by clicking the "All" button.



4. In mandatory, tick the checkbox "including the archive", because some models can no longer be released or were removed from sale for a long time.



5. Among the list of all devices, find the necessary and click on it to open the product page.



6. Turn to the "Files" tab, where the driver installer is located.



7. In the list of all available files, find the latest version of the software and start downloading it.



8. Expect the download and run the received executable file.



9. When a welcome window appears, mark the "Advanced Settings" marker, so that when you have the ability to select a location for unpacking files and decide whether the software icon will be created on the desktop, and the application itself is started with the operating system.



10. Follow the simple installation instructions, performing each step, and then start the connection manager.



11. In it, make the setting and execute the first connection by checking how the modem is now functioning.

If necessary, restart the computer so that all changes entered into force, and only then go to the Internet re-connected.

Method 4: Check Windows Network Settings

If the problem in the performance of the Modem Megaphone is that you cannot access any site, perhaps the cause of the problem is hidden in the wrong network settings of the operating system.

1. Click on the Start button and go to the "Parameters" menu by clicking on the gear icon.



2. Click on the tile with the name "Network and the Internet".



3. Run down slightly below the "Status" tab and click on the click of the Adapter Settings "clickable.

6. Make sure that the receipt of IP addresses and DNS servers takes place in automatic mode. If not, correct the parameters, moving markers to the relevant items.

After performing these actions, the Internet connection must be broken, so connect to the modem again and check whether the difficulty has been solved with its performance.

Method 5: Editing the registry parameter

Unfortunately, incorrect network settings are not the only parameter of the operating system, due to which problems may arise with network access via a modem from a megaphone. Another reason may be the missing value in the registry parameter that is responsible for the normal interaction of Windows with similar network equipment. To correct this parameter, follow the following instructions.

1. Call the "Run" utility by pressing the standard hot key Win + R. Enter in the Regedit field and press ENTER to confirm.



2. In the Registry Editor window that opens, follow the path of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONLSET \ SERVICES \ RASMAN.



3. In the destination folder, find the file called "RequiredPrivileges" and click on it twice to display properties.



4. Check the "value" block by turning attention to the last string that should look like seloaddriverprivilege. If it is missing, add it manually, apply the changes and restart the PC.

Method 6: USB Device Management

When installing a driver for a modem into the operating system, a separate USB device will be added, which is not used, but it can consume energy, which affects its receipt to the working port, especially if the modem is connected via the extension. Due to insufficient power of the power of the connector, the network equipment may not work or connect will be interrupted, so the said device can be disabled for verification.

1. To do this, click the PCM on the Start button and select the Device Manager string.



2. In the menu that appears, expand USB Controllers.



3. Watch there the "USB Storage Device" item, which makes the right click with the mouse and disable the device through the context menu.

It remains only to reconnect the modem to the computer and see how he behaves this time.

Method 7: Virus checking for viruses

The last way we want to talk about today is associated with a computer scanning for viruses, since sometimes malicious files can affect the operation of the network and the equipment under consideration. You will need to download any convenient program and run scanning, waiting for results.
