and secure (all cables are fully inserted)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn the device off and on again<\/strong> (there should be a button or switch at the back of the device)<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the <strong>aerial is vertical<\/strong> (this gives a much larger coverage area than horizontal)<\/li>\n<li>Ensure<strong> nothing is blocking the signal<\/strong> (between the router and device there should be as little interruption as possible)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reset the router<\/strong> (tell them to grab a pencil, or something with a similar tip, and use it to press into the \"Reset\" divot in the back of the device; it should reset, shown by the wifi lights blinking)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"confirm-that-the-computer-is-connected-to-the-router\">\n<h2>Confirm
