Connectivity Troubleshooting

Connectivity Troubleshooting

This guide provides steps to diagnose and resolve connectivity issues when using Fernox app and platform.

Connectivity problems may be caused by network restrictions, device settings, or temporary application errors. Following the steps below will help determine the cause and restore access.

Fernox App Troubleshooting

Restart Your Device

Power off your phone or tablet, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

Switch Between Networks

Try both Wi-Fi and mobile data.

If the app works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, your network or company firewall may be blocking it.

If it works on Wi-Fi but not mobile data, check your mobile carrier’s connection.

Test on a Private Network

Connect to a home Wi-Fi or personal hotspot.

If it works outside your company network, contact your IT team about firewall settings.

Close and Reopen the App

Fully close the app (force stop or swipe away) and reopen it.

Clear the App Cache (Android only)

Go to Settings → Apps → [Fernox App] → Storage → Clear Cache.

On iOS, simply closing and reopening refreshes the cache.

Update the App

Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and install any available updates.

Reinstall the App

Uninstall and reinstall from the official store.

Check VPN/Security Apps

Temporarily disable VPN or security apps to see if they cause issues.

Web Portal Troubleshooting

Restart Your Device

Restart your computer or tablet before retrying.

Test Internet Connection

Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot.

If it works outside the company network, the firewall may be blocking it.

Try a Different Browser

Use Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari to see if the problem is browser-specific.

Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

In your browser settings, clear cached files and cookies, then reload the site.

Disable Browser Extensions

Turn off ad blockers, script blockers, or VPN extensions temporarily to test.
