    I have tried restarting my computer and Disconnecting and reconnecting the Ethernet cord but neither works. My Xbox and PlayStation which are connected to the same Ethernet/ WiFi work perfectly fine. My computer says it is connected to the Ethernet but it will not load anything. Any help would be vastly appreciated

    :)

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    Fart

    Brandon,

    I don't know what I mean. YES ON WIF i can connect to the internet, but you cannot connect to anthing plugged into the same WIFI ROUTER with CAT5 Cable ethernet. My MacBook Pro has WIFI and ehternet, ethernet wont work, but wifi will. My Dell does not have wifi, and I cannot connect to the network or internet at all. As I mentioned, I changed the WIFI Router about a week ago, problem solved, for 3-4 days, now ethernet to the new router does not work again.

    WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

    OK but why?

    NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

    Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

    Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

    Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

    To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.
     
  4. Computer internet will not work despite saying it is connected to WiFi. Ethernet will also...

    Laptop connects to internet with Wifi, but not ethernet

    Hello,

    I have been scouring the internet looking for a solution, but I can't find one.

    My issue is that I can connect to my network and internet perfectly fine with wifi, but when I connect my ethernet cable into my laptop's port, it will show me the correct SSID name for my network, but will say that it's not connected to the network, and
    there's no internet connection.

    Fixes I have tried that have not worked:

    1. Reset computer

    2. Reset modem/router

    3. Changed automatic IP and DNS setting to static, and changed them back.

    4. Updated ethernet port drivers

    5. Ran Microsoft troubleshooter multiple times for the same issue after doing each one of these things.

    6. Disabled and re enabled ethernet

    7. Disabled wifi and tried to connect to ethernet

    8. Altered every variation of the above fixes and haven't gotten anywhere.

    Microsoft troubleshooter's main "fix" is to do a Networking Reset, which restarts my computer, and the network, and when I log back in, I still can't connect to the internet using ethernet.

    Remember, wifi works perfectly fine, but the ethernet is just refusing to work.

    Does anyone have any tips to get my ethernet working?

    Thank you in advance!
