If 4G or 5G isn't working, try connecting to Wi-Fi. If Wi-Fi isn't working, check to see if other apps and devices are having the same problem. If you are experiencing problems with your Wi-Fi service, unplug your router or modem for about 20 seconds and then plug it back in and let it boot up. If the problem continues, contact your internet service provider.
