Patent attributes
The disclosure describes, in part, techniques for attempting to diagnose the cause of a wireless connection problem in a client computing device and, in response, performing one or more actions for remedying the problem. In some instances, the techniques describe the client device communicating with one or more other client devices in the environment to determine whether they are connected to the WAP using the same password or a different password as the client device. If the former, then the client device may determine that the network stack is likely the cause of the connection error and may attempt to restart the network stack to current problem. If the other devices indicate that they are using the same password, however, then the client device may prompt a user to re-enter the network password.
