Natural or not: no access to the Internet

Dear Users,

Is the following sentence natural and native-like?

I don't have access to the Internet at home, which means I haven't been able to access WeChat as well.

Here are my doubts:

1) Should a definite article be used in front of Internet?
2) Is it OK to use as well at the end of this sentence?
3) Is there a better way to express the fact that I can't get on-line due to my router's malfunction?

Thanks
