im having trouble connecting it was connecting perfectly at one stage for a few weeks and now there is only one bar of connection and it wont move at all wat do i need to do to be able to connect again??

Hi - am new here and hoping to fix my LW I have tried the suggestions that I am able to on the other threads about connection problems.

For the last 2 days, I have not managed to get above 1 bar on the connection status. Previous to this, it has been hit and miss whether I have been able to connect. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, updated and rolled back my Java - everything

Please help
