Accessing mobile data.

Try these troubleshooting steps:

• Check that your device has mobile data switched on .
• Make sure your APN settings are set up correctly.
• If you’re in a regional coverage area and using an Android or Windows Phone, switch on data roaming .

Slow data speeds.

There are a number of reasons you may be experiencing slow data speeds:

• Environmental factors. Check out the ‘Calls dropping out’ section under ‘Making and receiving calls.’
• The website you’re visiting is experiencing a high volume of web traffic.
• Accessing websites with a high latency.
• Your device’s specifications, such as operating system, processing power and available memory.

To improve your data speeds, try the solutions listed in the ‘Device settings’ section above.

• Try calling a different number. If your call connects to another number, it may be an issue with the number you’re trying to call.
• Check that you’ve paid your bill. If your account is overdue, your service may have call barring active. To have it lifted, give us a call on 1300 650 410 .
• If you’ve placed an outgoing call bar on your device, dial GSM codes to remove it. 
• Check that you don’t have call diversions set up on your service. Dialing short code 1213 will remove any call diversions on your number.
• Make sure you have Do Not Disturb mode disabled. Some phones have features that block calls during certain hours of the day.
• Check that the number trying to call you isn’t blocked from calling your service.

Environmental factors are the most common reason for calls dropping out. Your signal strength can be affected by:

• Your distance from a mobile tower. Local terrain, such as nearby buildings, can obstruct the signal from the mobile tower.
• The building you’re in and what level you’re on. Coverage is reduced in basement levels and elevators, as well as in buildings with concrete walls or metal roofing.
• Travelling in a moving car or train. Going through tunnels can also affect the signal.

Here’s what you can do to avoid calls dropping out:

• If you’re outdoors, a spot with a clear eye line to the horizon will provide the best coverage.
• If you’re indoors, a spot close to a window will provide the best coverage.

Sending and receiving text messages.

• Make sure your inbox and sent messages folders aren’t full. You can free up space on your device by deleting old messages.
• If you’ve placed an outgoing or incoming message bar on your device, use GSM codes to remove it. 
• Check that the message centre number is correctly set in your device as +61 415 011 501.
• If you’re using an iPhone, check if the message is being sent as an iMessage . Try switching off iMessage in device settings.
• If the number you're trying to message starts with 19, it's a Premium SMS number. Check that you haven't blocked access to Premium SMS .
• Send yourself a text message. If it won’t send, you might have message barring on your phone.
• Check that the number sending the message isn’t in your blocked contacts or spam list on your device.
• If you’ve recently switched from an iPhone to a non-Apple device, make sure you’ve switched off iMessage .
• If your device has been switched off or out of coverage for a period time, undelivered messages will expire 3-7 days after being sent. 

Sending and receiving picture messages.

• Make sure picture message settings are correctly set up on your device. If you’re using an iPhone, make sure MMS Messaging is switched on.
• Check that your device has mobile data switched on . 
•  If you’re using an iPhone, check if the message is being sent as an iMessage . Try switching off iMessage in device settings.
•  If you’re in a regional coverage area and using an Android or Windows Phone, switch on data roaming .
• Send yourself a picture message. If it won’t send, you might have message barring on your phone.

Additional information

It’s possible that your device is displaying signal bars even when there is limited network coverage. The signal bars displayed on your device aren’t always a true indication of signal strength. There is no universal standard for determining signal strength, which means the methods of measuring network coverage differ between manufacturers. For example, two bars of coverage might be the equivalent of three on another phone.

The higher a device’s Cat number, the faster the data speeds. To access the fastest 4G speeds we have available, you'll need a Cat 6 device.

Are you getting a "Mobile network not available" error on your Android phone? Don't worry because there are a few simple tricks you can try to solve this! This wikiHow article lists a few different tricks that you can use to fix the "Mobile network not available" error.

Things You Should Know

• There are a variety of reasons why you'd get the "Mobile network not available" error including glitches in your settings, tower service, or billing issues.
• The easiest, fastest, and most reliable fix is to turn on and off Airplane Mode on your Android and then restart it.
• Take out, clean, and reinsert your SIM card to refresh that connection.

• Go to Settings > Network & internet/Connection & sharing > Airplane Mode and tap the switch to toggle it on and off again. You can also swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the airplane icon. [2] X Research source

• To restart your phone , press and hold the Volume Down and Power button for about 10-20 seconds or until your phone shuts down (the screen will be black). Let go of those buttons, and you should see the Android logo as your phone restarts.
• Tip: Sometimes, turning your phone off rather than just restarting can do the trick. A restart will sometimes hold onto old info while a turn off/turn on will give the phone an actual full refresh.

• To remove your SIM card , turn off your phone, then use a small, pointy tool, like an unbent paperclip, to eject your SIM tray. After the tray is ejected, gently remove your SIM card, and clean it (wipe down the metallic surface with a disinfectant wipe or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol). Reinsert it and turn your phone back on. [5] X Research source
• If your SIM looks really dirty or grimy, you may need to replace it .

• Updating is easy! Simply go to Settings > Software Update/About Phone > Download and Install . You phone will restart to apply the update. [7] X Research source
• To make sure that you get the update, connect to Wi-Fi instead of using mobile data, which gives you the error.

• To turn Data roaming off, go to Settings > Network & internet/Connections > Mobile Networks > Roaming and tap the switch to toggle it off. [8] X Research source

• To reset your network settings , go to Settings > System/General management > Reset > Reset WiFi, mobile & Bluetooth/Reset network settings > Reset settings . Your phone will restart with network settings reset to default. Try connecting to the internet again or making a phone call to see if you get the "Mobile network not available" error.

• To switch mobile network operators, go to Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Network operators > Automatic or Manual . If you're already on Automatic, pick Manual. If you're currently on Manual, pick Automatic.

• To change network types, dial *#*#4636#*#* and a new menu will appear. Tap Phone information > Run Ping Test and after you get that information, tap Set preferred network type and select either GSM, LTE, or LTE/UMTS options. If you still get the error, you can change which network type you're using. If none of them work for you, change it back to the default.

• You should first make a backup of your current Android's settings and files. To create a back up, go to Settings > Accounts & Backup > Back up Data > Back up now .
• To reset, go to Settings > General management > Reset > Factory data reset > Reset . Enter your PIN if prompted. [12] X Research source

Vodafone uses AI to detect and fix network issues

Machine learning will be deployed across Vodafone's European networks

Vodafone is rolling out machine learning technology that can detect and correct network problems before they impact customers across its European infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly vital for mobile operators looking to manage more complex network environments in the 5G era.

Operators need to be able to automatically provision services such as network slicing and dynamically allocate capacity around the network. The rollout of software-defined networking and cloud-based core infrastructure makes this possible.

• These are the  best business SIM-only deals  around today
• And the  best business broadband deals

Vodafone AI network

Vodafone’s ‘Anomaly Detection System’ is based on technology developed by Nokia Bell Labs and uses intelligent algorithms to sense when a mobile cell area is exhibiting unusual behaviour that could affect network quality.

The service is hosted on Vodafone’s cloud platform, which provides engineers with detailed analytics that will allow them engineers to fix problems such as congestion, interference, high latency, and call quality more rapidly. But the system will also be able to proactively address issues itself.

So far, Vodafone has deployed the system across 60,000 4G sites in Italy and will roll it out across Europe by early 2022 as part of a wider network transformation. The expectation is that the company will be able to automatically detect 80% of all network and capacity issues.

“We are building an automated and programmable network that can respond quickly to our customers’ needs,” said Johan Wibergh, Vodafone CTO.

“As we extend 5G across Europe, it is important to match the speed and responsiveness of this new technology with a great service. With machine learning, we can ensure a consistently high-quality performance that is as smart as the technology behind it.”

“We are pleased to celebrate the first commercial deployment of our solution with Vodafone, running on the public cloud,” added Raghav Sahgal, Nokia’s President of Cloud and Network Services.

“By analyzing network data our machine-learning algorithms can detect anomalies impacting network operations and performance, helping Vodafone engineers to pre-empt and rapidly resolve issues.”

In the UK, Vodafone’s Network & Development Director Andrea Dona told TechRadar Pro earlier this year that automation was essential if it wanted to become a provider of services beyond telecoms. He said that the massive growth of data simply cannot be supported by traditional approaches to network management and capacity expansion.

8 Easy-to-Do Ways to Troubleshoot Network Connection

You'll be up and running in no time

A faulty Wi-Fi connection doesn’t have to ruin your day. There are plenty of ways you can restore a lost internet connection. Follow these network troubleshooting tips and you’ll be up and running in no time.

1. Check Your Settings

First, check your Wi-Fi settings. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi . Switch Wi-Fi to the On position.

Phones and tablets also have settings that turn Wi-Fi on and off. Make sure that it is turned on so you can connect to the network.

You also want to check if Airplane Mode is turned on.

2. Check Your Access Points

Check your WAN (wide area network) and LAN (local area network) connections. In layman’s terms, these are the Ethernet cables that go to and from your router.

If you suspect that the cables are the culprit, try swapping them out with new ones.

3. Go Around Obstacles

Walls, furniture, and other obstructions can be the reason why you’re unable to go online. Moving closer to the router can re-establish the connection. If moving closer to the router does not solve the issue, then at least we can remove it from the list of suspects.

4. Restart the Router

Sometimes restarting the router can help fix connectivity issues. This is even truer in cases where the router has not been turned off in a while. A quick restart can jolt the router back into working like it used to.

If that doesn’t work, you might also consider resetting the router. But only do so if you’re okay with it being restored to its factory settings. You will have to reconfigure everything including the SSID and password.

5. Check the Wi-Fi Name and Password

Check the network name (otherwise known as SSID) and password of the network connection. If you’re used to connecting automatically when in range of a router but are no longer able to, changes may have been made to the network while you’re away.

It could be as simple as administrators updating the password or the SSID could have been changed to a different one.

6. Check DHCP Settings

Routers are usually set up as DHCP servers. This setting lets computers join a network automatically. With DHCP turned on, users will no longer have to mess with IP Address and DNS Server settings manually.

To edit your DHCP settings, go to Windows Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi . Under Wi-Fi , click Manage Known Networks . Select a network and click Properties .

Under IP Settings , click Edit . From the drop-down menu, select Automatic (DHCP) .

Note: Selecting Manual will let you set your DNS Server Address and IP Address settings manually.

7. Update Windows

Your network problems could be caused by your system. If that is the case, Windows could have possibly released a fix. Try updating your Windows machine to the latest release.

Go to Windows Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update . Click Check for Updates . If there are updates available, Windows will download and install them.

8. Open Windows Network Diagnostics

Windows has a tool called Windows Network Diagnostics that lets users troubleshoot connection issues.

Go to Windows Settings > Network & Internet > Status . Under Change Your Network Settings , click Network Troubleshooter .

Windows Network Diagnostics will run a couple of tests to see what’s possibly causing your Wi-Fi issues.

Windows will let you know if it does not find any issue. Otherwise, you will be given a list of possible actions to take to resolve the problem.

This tool, or a version of it, should be available in Windows 7 to Windows 10.

The most common pain points are slow speeds, dropped connections, or not being able to connect at all.

The good news is that there are some potential fixes that may help get your Vodafone WiFi up and running again. A few of the most common remedies are to reset your modem, update your router’s firmware, check your device settings, and reset your network. Additionally, if you’re having trouble connecting to a particular website or service, try connecting with a proxy or VPN.

It’s no fun when your Vodafone WiFi won’t work. In this article, we’ll look into some of the most common issues that you might have and help you get back online. We know how frustrating it can be when your WiFi is down, so we’re here to help get you back up and running as quickly as possible. 

A great starting point when you’re dealing with a Vodafone WiFi outage is to make sure that your modem is working properly. The modem is the device that transmits the signal from your provider to your home.

It’s possible that the modem may have experienced a power outage or that it isn’t connecting properly to the provider’s servers. To check if this is the cause of the issue, you should unplug the modem from the wall and plug it back in. If you don’t see a blue power light after a few minutes, you may need to get in contact with your provider for a replacement modem.

Another possible issue is that the settings in your router may have become corrupted or changed. This can happen if someone has recently accessed the router’s settings and changed them, or if the router itself has been exposed to smoke or water.

To fix this issue, you should log into the router’s settings and make sure that all of the settings are properly configured. In many cases, restoring the default settings is a great place to start. If these changes don’t seem to have any effect on your connection, you should reach out to Vodafone to get more assistance.

It’s also possible that the issue could be caused by a lack of signal in your area. Check the strength of the signal from your provider’s website. If the signal appears to be weak, it’s possible that you may need to install a better antenna or booster. Stronger external antennas and amplifiers are usually available for purchase directly from Vodafone or from third-party retailers. If you decide to install a booster, make sure to follow all of the manufacturer’s installation instructions carefully.

Finally, make sure to check that none of your devices are blocking the connection. If you have a computer or other device that’s frequently connected to the internet, it’s possible that they may have blocked the connection. Disconnect all devices from the network and then try to reconnect. If that doesn’t work, it’s possible that another device

WiFi connections are essential for work, school and entertainment. Even the slightest disruption can be extremely frustrating. If your Vodafone WiFi is not working, it doesn’t mean you need to replace your router. There are a few steps you can take to try and get your connection up and running again.

The first thing to check is the status of the Vodafone website. If the website is down, then it is likely that a service issue is affecting your connection. If this is the case, you can contact the Vodafone support team to ask for more information or report the issue.

Another thing to check is your wireless router, modem or hub status. Some modems/routers have a reset button, so you can restart the modem and router. If necessary, you can reconnect the router to the power and the internet connection. If this doesn’t work, you can try a factory reset. This will reset the settings of your router to the original and help fix any configuration or software issues.

If the router itself is fine, check your device’s settings. Ensure that the WiFi settings are configured and the security protocols are set up correctly. If you are using an outdated version of your device’s operating system, then installing the latest updates may help.

If the problem persists, then it may be caused by an issue with your internet service provider. If possible, try connecting your device to another internet source. If the device works when connected to another source, then you need to contact your service provider and discuss the issue with them.

Finally, it is time to contact Vodafone technical support if all else fails. The Vodafone support team will be able to help you diagnose the issue and provide the necessary information to resolve the issue.

Are you having trouble connecting to your Vodafone WiFi network? If so, you’re not alone. Vodafone offers hundreds of thousands of customers an internet connection, so it’s no surprise that some users experience issues from time to time. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to solve most Vodafone WiFi, not working problems. 

If your Vodafone WiFi isn’t connecting, you should first check the signal strength. If the signal is weak, try moving closer to the wireless router or repositioning the device to pick up the signal more clearly. If the signal is still weak, it could be that your router is blocked by furniture or walls or that the router is too far away from your device. 

If your signal strength is good and you’re still having trouble connecting to the WiFi, double-check that you’re entering the right password. If you’re not sure, you can retrieve the password from your Vodafone account or consult the manual that came with your router. Once you enter the correct password you should be able to connect and begin browsing the internet. 

If neither of these solutions works, you might need to reset the router. To do this, locate the reset button on the back of the router and press it for at least 10 seconds. After the router has been reset you’ll need to reconfigure it. To do this, open a web browser on your computer or mobile device, enter the router’s IP address, and use the on-screen instructions to reconfigure your device. 

If you still can’t connect to the Vodafone WiFi network, your problem may be due to a fault with the router, or with your Vodafone connection. In this case, the best thing to do is get in touch with Vodafone support for assistance.

In conclusion, if your Vodafone WiFi isn’t working properly, you can take a few steps to troubleshoot the problem. First, check the signal strength and make sure you’re entering the right password. If that doesn’t work, try resetting the router and reconfiguring it. If all else fails, contact Vodafone support for help.

Are you having trouble connecting to Vodafone WiFi? If so, you’re not alone. Many customers have encountered WiFi connection issues with Vodafone in the past, and it can be a frustrating experience trying to fix them. In this article, we’ll discuss the most common Vodafone WiFi issues and some troubleshooting steps you can take to try and get your internet connection back up and running.

The first thing to check when Vodafone WiFi isn’t working is whether or not the problem is related to your router. If your router is not properly configured, it can prevent you from connecting to the internet. To ensure that your router is properly configured, refer to the user manual that came with your device or contact your internet service provider for assistance.

Another issue that can cause Vodafone WiFi not to work is if your modem or router is not compatible with Vodafone. If you’re using a device that’s not compatible with Vodafone, you won’t be able to connect to the internet. To fix this, you’ll need to purchase a modem or router that’s compatible with Vodafone.

It’s also possible that your Vodafone WiFi isn’t working because the signal strength is too weak. To determine if this is the case, use a smartphone or laptop to check the signal strength of your WiFi connection. If it’s too weak, you may need to move the modem or router closer to the area where you’re trying to connect.

Finally, if your Vodafone WiFi isn’t working, it’s possible that there is an issue with your account. If your account has been suspended, it could be the reason why Vodafone WiFi isn’t working. To check if your account is active, log into your Vodafone account and check the status of your account.

If you’ve tried all of the above troubleshooting steps and your Vodafone WiFi is still not working, contact Vodafone customer support. A representative can help you diagnose the issue and provide you with further assistance.

Vodafone WiFi not working can be a hassle, but it’s not a lost cause. Keep reading to find out more about getting your Vodafone WiFi working again.

Nobody likes to experience a drop in connectivity, especially when it affects their home internet. If your Vodafone WiFi stops working then it can be incredibly frustrating. There are a few things you can do to try and fix the problem, which may help to get your connection back up and running. 

The most likely culprit when it comes to Vodafone WiFi not working is an issue with your modem or router. If your connection has suddenly stopped, then it’s possible that your router is experiencing some sort of technical difficulty. The first step you should take is to check the power cord, as it may have become loose. You should also check if the modem is powered on. If it’s not, then you’ll need to try and turn it on.

If you’re still having issues after checking the power cord and the modem, you may have a more serious issue. It’s possible that the router itself has become outdated, or there may be an issue with the firmware. In this case, you’ll need to contact your ISP. They will be able to provide more information about the issue and can help you resolve it. 

Another potential cause of Vodafone WiFi not working is an issue with your internet speed. If your connection is slow, then it’s possible that you’re not getting the speeds you were promised. To make sure that your internet is running as fast as it should be, you should run a speed test. This will tell you if your speeds are in line with what you’re paying for.

If your internet speed is low, then you should contact your ISP. They will be able to investigate the issue and make sure that you’re getting the speeds you’re paying for. If it turns out that your speeds are lower than advertised, then you may be able to get a discount on your monthly bill. 

Finally, if Vodafone WiFi isn’t working for you, then you may have an issue with your device. Make sure that you have the latest software installed and that your device is compatible with the network. If you’re still having problems, then you may need to get a newer device or use a different connection method. 

The last few paragraphs of this article have aimed to provide a comprehensive and thorough guide on rectifying the issue of Vodafone WiFi not working. Through a step-by-step approach, I have sought to explain the troubleshooting process in detail, from the initial resetting of your device to resetting your router and modem. It is my hope that through careful consideration and application of the information outlined above, readers will be able to solve the Vodafone WiFi not working issue. 

Furthermore, recognizing that not all readers may feel comfortable attempting to rectify the issue themselves, I wished to provide additional contact resources. Reaching out to customer-service professionals may be beneficial for readers who are uncertain at any point in the troubleshooting process. Otherwise, I have provided a general summary of the troubleshooting steps to provide a brief overview before delving into the details. 

In conclusion, I am confident that you will now be able to better navigate the issue of Vodafone WiFi not working. If you wish to help further understand the issue and rectify it, I have armed you with the necessary information and resources to do so. I wish you luck in resolving this issue and trust that you will find success in the end.

Can Former Aaron Rodgers Teammate Solve Jets Tight End Problem?

Ralph ventre | 13 hours ago.

• New York Jets

The New York Jets ' unwillingness to draft Georgia tight end Brock Bowers at No. 11 overall has arguably left a hole in their offense.

Jets brass is apparently content with the team's tight ends room, but ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz suggests differently. The former Football Outsiders writer identified the "biggest remaining roster holes for all 32 teams" and tight end was his pick for Gang Green.

According to Schatz, New York still has the ability to remedy the situation by adding current free agent Robert Tonyan, who played five seasons with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. The 30-year-old Tonyan had a career season in 2020, catching 52 of 59 targets for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns. He spent the 2023 campaign with the Chicago Bears, receiving only 17 targets over 17 games.

From ESPN's Aaron Schatz :

"The Jets have a pretty steady and deep roster across the board, with the big issue being the lack of a star at tight end. Tyler Conklin, who signed with New York from the Vikings in 2022, hasn't had a positive receiving DVOA in six NFL seasons and ranked 43rd among qualifying tight ends in the past two seasons. ... New York should consider bringing in quarterback Aaron Rodgers' former Green Bay target Robert Tonyan, who is still a free agent."

As for the Jets current personnel, Conklin may not measure up to Schatz's DVOA metric, but he totaled 1,173 receiving yards over the past two seasons in spite of New York's quarterback instability. It is worth noting that he did not find the end zone in 2023 and has only three touchdowns in 34 games as a Jet.

Jeremy Ruckert, a 2022 third-round draft pick, appears in line to be the Jets TE2. Seemingly more of an effective run blocker than most, Ruckert has yet to show the ability to contribute as a pass-catching threat. He has 17 receptions on 24 total targets in 24 games.

New York is scheduled to kick off OTAs Phase 3 next week with practices on May 20-21.
