Basic Discord Connection Fixes

Sometimes, the problem might be on your end rather than Discord’s servers. Here are some steps to help you get back online:

• Check Your Internet Connection: Make sure your connection is steady and that nothing else is consuming up bandwidth by rebooting your router.
• Update Discord: Whether you're using a desktop app or a browser, ensure Discord is up to date to avoid issues with outdated versions.
• Clear Cache: Problems may arise from cached data. Restart Discord after clearing your platform's cache.
• Firewall/Antivirus: Discord may occasionally be blocked by firewall or antivirus programs. It may be possible to troubleshoot the issue by temporarily switching them off and then on again.
• Verify Server Regions: Changing the voice server region might occasionally fix connectivity issues if you're utilizing voice channels.
• Reinstall Discord: Damaged files or settings may be the cause of the problem. Simply delete and reinstall the software.
