Explanation

The first step in troubleshooting any network issue is to identify the problem and gather information from the user and the device. Reviewing the network settings in the OS can help the technician verify if the laptop is configured correctly to connect to the wireless network, such as the SSID, security type, password, IP address, DNS server, etc. This can also help the technician rule out any software or driver issues that might prevent the laptop from connecting to the network. This is a logical and simple step that can be done before attempting any other actions that might affect the network infrastructure or other devices.
