# Terminal Won't Connect to the Network

What to do when a T650 Two-Piece appears connected but isn't working, including checking its network information.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Use this page when** the T650C appears to have a connection (shows a signal or connection icon) but may not actually be connected — for example payments fail or time out even though the terminal looks online.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Do NOT use this page when** the terminal displays **Error T703 – No Connection to Host** — follow [Error T703 – No Connection to Host](/support-nordics/t650-two-piece/errors/error-t703-no-connection-to-host.md) instead.

## Symptoms

You may see one or more of the following:

* The T650C shows a Wi-Fi or network connection, but payments still fail or time out.
* The connection icon looks normal, but the terminal behaves as if offline.
* You're not sure whether the terminal is really connected.

**Most likely cause:** the T650C is showing a connection but isn't actually connected to the network — checking the network information confirms the real status. The P400 gets its network connection from the T650C, so both units are affected.

## Resolution

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Check the network information

On the T650C, follow [How to Check the Network Information](/support-nordics/t650-two-piece/how-tos/how-to-check-the-network-information.md). Check:

* **Network status** — connected or disconnected.
* **Connectivity type** — Wi-Fi or network cable (Ethernet).
* **Device IP** — whether the terminal has an IP address.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Reconnect the terminal

* **On Wi-Fi** and showing disconnected or no IP: reconnect it — see [How to Set Up Wi-Fi](/support-nordics/t650-two-piece/how-tos/how-to-set-up-wi-fi.md).
* **On a network cable (Ethernet):** check the cables are connected properly — see [How to Connect the Cables](/support-nordics/t650-two-piece/how-tos/how-to-connect-the-cables.md).
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

**If the terminal now connects and payments work.** No further action needed. Monitor for repeat issues.

**If the terminal still won't connect.** Contact Support below.

## Still not working?

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/support-nordics/t650-two-piece/errors/terminal-wont-connect-to-the-network.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
