Troubleshoot by connection, speed and drops — most can be self-solved

Use an accelerator long enough and you will meet connection failures, slow speed and frequent drops. Most of the time the problem is not the product but the local network or configuration. This article lists the steps for all three — follow them and about eight in ten cases resolve themselves.

The principle is simple: rule out local first, then the node, and only last consider the server. Many users jump straight to uninstall and reinstall, which only wastes time.

1. Connection failure

The three most common causes are no network, an abnormal account, or a protocol mismatch. First confirm the device is online, then check whether the account is logged in elsewhere, then switch protocols in settings. On campus or enterprise networks, try a compatibility-first protocol.

2. Slow speed

For slow speed, look at the node, then protocol, then local. Pick the lowest-latency, lightest-load node; if on mobile data, switch to the mobile-optimized protocol; and close bandwidth-heavy background apps. These three steps improve most speed issues.

3. Frequent drops

Frequent drops usually come from network fluctuation or background restrictions. On mobile, allow background running and auto-start in system settings; on desktop, check whether the firewall blocks the client. A real case: an Android user reported guaranteed drops after screen lock, and enabling background running fixed it the same day.

Troubleshooting is most afraid of blind attempts. Following "local — node — protocol" layer by layer beats uninstall-reinstall. If still unresolved, contact support with logs. Download from the official site to familiarize yourself with the flow first.
