class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_Among_Us_Connection_Issues\"><\/span>How to Fix Among Us Connection Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Among Us is still all the rage these days, but annoying connection problems can really ruin the fun.<\/p>\n<p>If you keep getting kicked out of games or can&#8217;t even get in to begin with, don&#8217;t panic just yet.<\/p>\n<p>There are some basic things you can do to troubleshoot and hopefully solve those disruptive connection issues.<\/p>\n<p>This guide will walk you through some common fixes to try when Among Us won&#8217;t connect properly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Some_Checks\"><\/span>Do Some Checks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First things first: start by doing some diagnostics to assess what may be causing your connectivity issues.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_for_Server_Issues\"><\/span>Check for Server Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The very first thing you should do is check if it&#8217;s an actual problem with the Among Us servers. Check their social accounts or some gaming forums.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the developers have to do maintenance, or there&#8217;s an outage on their end. If the servers look good to go, then the issue is likely on your end.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Internet_Connection\"><\/span>Check Your Internet Connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Having a spotty or unreliable internet connection <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedinternet.com\/resources\/how-much-speed-do-i-need-for-online-gaming#:~:text=Games%20are%20interactive%2C%20so%20you,backseat%20to%20more%20important%20factors.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can definitely cause problems<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re playing on WiFi, see if getting closer to the router helps stabilize things. Even better, use an ethernet cable and go directly wired for the most solid, reliable connection.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want to close any other apps or browser tabs that could be hogging bandwidth in the background.<\/p>\n<p>Try also checking if others in your household can take a break from heavy bandwidth activities for a bit, to free some up for your Among Us session.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fixing_The_Connection_Issues\"><\/span>Fixing The Connection Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve narrowed down where the issues may be coming from, it\u2019s time to get to action fixing them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restart_Your_Gear\"><\/span>Restart Your Gear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The old turn-it-off-and-on-again trick is a classic for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Restart your device and internet router by fully powering them off and back on &#8211; that weird little reset <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/173760\/htg-explains-why-does-rebooting-a-computer-fix-so-many-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can work wonders<\/a> for clearing up small glitches that may be causing connection hiccups.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re at it, make sure you&#8217;ve updated your web browser if you play Among Us on it.<\/p>\n<p>Outdated junky browsers are no good for running online games smoothly. Get the latest version installed just to be safe.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_Using_a_VPN\"><\/span>Try Using a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ve restarted stuff, checked for issues, and updated everything, but still no luck getting Among Us to run smoothly? Time to find a quick <a href=\"https:\/\/surfshark.com\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPN to download<\/a> &#8211; a virtual private network.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s a VPN? It&#8217;s just a way to surf the internet through an encrypted connection on a remote server.<\/p>\n<p>Using a VPN can sometimes get around network problems, like your internet provider slowing down or limiting gaming traffic for any reason. The VPN re-routes you to avoid those bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also great for sneaking around network restrictions, such as if your school or workplace has gaming sites blocked entirely.<\/p>\n<p>With a VPN, that traffic is disguised, so you can still access Among Us and other games without a problem.<\/p>\n<p>There are paid premium VPN services out there, as well as some free ones to choose from if you look around.<\/p>\n<p>Just install your chosen VPN app, connect to a server (pick one closest to your physical location for the best performance), and fire up Among Us again.<\/p>\n<p>See if re-routing through that encrypted VPN tunnel fixes the connection issue you were having before. If not, you&#8217;ve at least ruled out another potential cause.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_a_VPN_for_Among_Us\"><\/span>How to Use a VPN for Among Us<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a VPN for Among Us is pretty straightforward:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sign up for a VPN service.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Download and install the VPN app on your device.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Open the app and connect to a VPN server (ideally nearby for low latency).<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Launch Among Us and see if your connection has improved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If it works, great. If not, you may need to try a different VPN server, or the issue may lie elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>But a VPN is an incredibly handy tool to have in your troubleshooting toolkit for gaming connectivity problems.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Tips\"><\/span>Other Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Outside of server issues, gear restarts, internet quality, and VPNs, there are a few other tips that may help with Among Us connections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Make sure your device meets the <b>minimum system requirements<\/b> for Among Us, including operating system version, RAM, etc. You may need an upgrade.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Check that your network isn&#8217;t being overwhelmed by any torrenting\/downloading going on that&#8217;s <b>consuming massive bandwidth<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">For mobile connections, ensure you have a <b>strong cell signal <\/b>to avoid disconnects.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">As a last resort, you can try <b>uninstalling and reinstalling<\/b> the game to root out any potential glitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With some basic network troubleshooting tricks like rebooting, managing your bandwidth, or using a VPN when necessary, you should be able to easily solve most everyday connection headaches.<\/p>\n<p>No more constant disconnects and interruptions &#8211; enjoy a smooth running Among Us session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Fix Among Us Connection Issues Among Us is still all the rage these days, but annoying connection problems can really ruin the fun.
