To ensure the problem is not equipment-related, test your Smart Hub for Business service by connecting a different device, such as a tablet, phone or laptop.
If the service works on this other device, the issue is isolated to your initial device. Troubleshoot that specific device. You can try to disconnect the device from Wi-Fi, forget the network and reconnect the device again.
Test Ethernet connection
If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, test your service using an Ethernet cable.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable to the back of your smart hub and the other end to your computer.
Try opening a new page in your web browser to see if you're connected to the Internet.
If you can connect over Ethernet but not over Wi-Fi, proceed to the next step.
