In most Latin American countries and Spain, 'internet' is masculine (el internet) and is often paired with 'conexión' (la conexión). When speaking formally or in written tech support, you might prefer 'solucionar' or 'resolver' over the colloquial 'arreglar'. Also, mentioning the ISP (proveedor de servicios de internet) is common when the problem persists.
