The most common reasons Mac internet stops working

Quick checks you can do yourself

These steps solve around 60% of internet connection issues.

Check 1 – Restart the Mac

This resets the network adapter and clears temporary issues.

Check 2 – Restart your router

Turn it off for 10 seconds and turn it back on.

Check 3 – Turn Wi‑Fi off and on

Click the Wi‑Fi icon → Turn Wi‑Fi Off → Turn Wi‑Fi On.

If one site fails but others load, the issue is not your Mac.
