Troubleshooting Anywhere Access
Step 1: “Restart” the computer. Make sure to select “Restart” not “shutdown”.
Step 2: Verify you are connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or ethernet.
Step 3: If connecting via ethernet, make sure both ends are fully inserted into both the laptop and the router, then check the laptop ethernet port and see if there are blinking lights (showing activity). If there are still no lights, try another cable/port, if available.
Step 4: If connecting wirelessly, ensure “Airplane Mode” is not on (should be grey to indicate it is off) and that “Wi-Fi” is on (should be blue to indicate it is on). Please see the “Student Laptop Support for Remote Learning During School Closures” document for instructions on how to troubleshoot and connect your SPS issued device to the internet.
