Abstract

"This research explores strategies to enhance the troubleshooting of common network issues in home and office environments. Key focus areas include identifying frequent network problems, such as connectivity disruptions, bandwidth bottlenecks, and hardware failures, and evaluating effective diagnostic tools and methodologies. Experimental evaluations of techniques like automated monitoring, structured problem isolation, and predictive maintenance highlight notable improvements in issue resolution speed and reliability. Results underscore the importance of proactive measures and user-friendly tools in minimizing downtime and improving network performance. The study provides actionable insights for IT professionals and network administrators seeking to optimize troubleshooting processes in diverse environments."

Keywords
