I can't figure out why my PC wont connect to the internet. It has a wifi connection it just says no internet access. I'm currently using ethernet to connect to PC but it is only temporary so I'm hoping someone can help with a fix.
I've done pretty much all of what I know to do as well as many google attempts.. uninstalled driver, ipconfg reset renew etc, ran dism/sfc scans, netsh wisock reset, played around a lot with driver settings, swapping between 2.4/5 ghz, tried capping bandwidth at 20mhz.
Have tried unplugging/resetting router a million times, besides everything else in the house works just fine on wifi.
Any ideas?

Mess up router or modem

Have you tried turning the wifi router off and on?

Might be your pc is blocked from internet access in the router, try to connect to mobile wifi and establish if the problem is with pc or router.

have you tried right clicking on the internet icon on the taskbar and click Diagnose network problems?


The issue could be itself that the ip your computer is getting from the router is already in use by another device.

This happens to me sometimes.

Turn your modem off
Turn your router off (assuming it’s not a two in one)

Wait 1 minute
You can even restart pc during this time

Turn modem on, wait 30 seconds
Turn on router

I don’t trust Wi-Fi anymore now than I used to have it next to the computer Ethernet could have been used instead.

Before you do what I will say those steps to make, as other devices can connect to that WIFI network.

And your computer is actually a Laptop right ? And i would go more and say its a Lenovo or Asus ? If yes on both questions then your answer lies in the WIFI driver, as they have a lot of problems on the Intel Wifi Module V (can't remember know exactly) but they were mostly installed in Lenovo, Asus and some HP`s laptops.
To fix this issue will be hard to resolve as you will have to install on your computer, last 5 or 6 drivers that were released for the wifi card and see witch one is good and never update that anymore or at windows updates you will have to manually deselect so you dont update it.


If you have an WIFI connection with NO INTERNET on PC :

STEP 1. PC side

CMD - you need to use this 2 commands

Type in CMD: "ipconfig" - it will show you our current lan / internet connection settings (depends of the ISP)
If you see IP like :

Good example : And if you see this your problems are on the router

IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.104
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1


BAD example : And if you see this your problems might be from PC rather then go see what's the problems with the router.

IPv4 Address: 168.102.1.24.103
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

Type in CMD: "ipconfig/renew" - This if says success it's ok, but if gives any error we will need to see that error.
(this command doesn't work if you have static IP's, entered manually, you will have to set first your network on AUTO then go back and use the command.)

STEP 2. Router side

- Rebuild or Create a new WIFI network .. but at fist use the 2,4 GHz network then test the 5 Ghz network ... as you might have a compatibility issue with your WIFI DRIVER and the last update on your router.

Turn the light on.

just to name it.

Anti-virus or Other Security App stop your internet connection.

sometimes these programs do crazy stuff. Turn it off for a few.
