How to Fix TeamViewer “Connection Failed No Route” Problem

TeamViewer is an all-in-one solution for remote support, remote access, and online meetings which allows you to assist customers remotely, work with your colleagues from a distance and also stay connected with your own devices or assist friends and family members.

Simply put, TeamViewer is a remote assistance software that helps users to access and control other computers remotely via the internet. One thing many people have learned from the new normal is how to work remotely without going to the office. In the western part of the world, this is not new but in our side of the world, it was not something we were used to before the pandemic.

Unlike the office where IT technicians could be called to come and assist workers and customers with issues on their computers, IT technicians cannot be called to come and assist their co-workers or customers when they face an issue on the computers in virtual remote working.

Instead, TeamViewer can be used by the IT technician to help solve the problems of either their co-workers or customers from wherever they are in the world via the internet. But since TeamViewer is software, sometimes it runs into errors and one of such errors is the “TeamViewer connection failed no route” error.
