    Cannot connect to internet wirelessly


    when i booted up my computer one day, i was disconnected from my home internet connection. i went to click on the network and internet bitton on the taskbar, and the normal screen to connect to a network was replaced with, “change settings, such as making a connection metered” and has the airplane mode box under it. i dont have an ethernet cable, so i cant connect that way. i have tried to troubleshoot, and it only says to connect an ethernet cable. i have read that there is sometimes a button that turns off wireless connection on computers, but i cannot find it. i have an alienware 17 r5, if that can help, and have not installed any external drivers for wireless internet. thank you in advance.

    :)

    Cannot Connect Wirelessly to the Internet


    My E Machines E732 laptop which was recently upgraded to Windows 10 (from Windows 7) and has now had the Anniversary update applied. has suddenly ceased to be connectable wirelessly to the internet. I am using a BT Hub 5 and there is no fault with it as it connects wirelessly to several other computers in the house. I can connect the E Machines using an ethernet cable, and this works well, but any attempt to reconnect wirelessly fails. Could this be a result of the latest Windows update or is there some other fault such as a Registry flaw. I have tried renewing the network settings but no joy. Has anyone got any suggestions?*Sad

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.



    Since you are able to connect to the internet wirelessly it is just the wires connection which has issues.

    It could be either wire which has problems or Ethernet port.

    Before you change either of these I suggest you to try the following steps:

    Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

    a. In search Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the search box and hit Enter.

    c. Select “View all” option from the left panel.

    d. Select “Internet Connections” from the list and follow On-screen instructions.



    Regards,

    Cannot connect to internet wirelessly

    Accessing internet wirelessly.

    How do i get access to internet? This is my dilemma, I have 2 pc's that are accessing the internet by way of ethernet and/or wireless. But my downstairs laptop will not access internet wirelessly . When I try...it just keeps saying checking requirements.
    Also my network is not listed under network connections, but it does appear in the list at the system tray icon.
