Is the paragraph below correct? Actually the sentence above is actually from this paragraph.

We already tried to connect Mr. John’s wifi at L12 yesterday, but was not able to. When we brought the laptop to L14 it got connected. Then we tried again to bring it down to L10; it was connecting for a few seconds but got disconnected again. Please help.
