Windows 10: Computers internet consistently goes out while connected to ethernet

I use windows 10 and im using AT&T fiber ethernet, I have had no internet issues prior to using ethernet. My computer does not have built in wifi so the only thing i can use is ethernet, Watching youtube or playing games will always every day make my internet go out for literal seconds to minutes at a time. Sometimes it gets so bad I have to restart my pc because it will not connect back to the internet. My computer is the only device in my house with this issue and im connected to the ethernet 5gb to my router

Computer says not connected to Internet even after connected to Internet

Hi Mark,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that applications show that you are not connected to Internet. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• How is the computer connected to Internet i.e. Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made on the computer prior to this issue?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I would suggest you to try changing the network connection i.e. if the computer is connected to Internet through Wi-Fi, try using Ethernet and check if that helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer


@dk1971

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
   NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

Hi SanJ16,

You may try the following steps on your laptop and check if it works.

1. Open ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Network and Internet’.
   
2. Click on ‘Ethernet’ and tap ‘Properties’ for the network connection.
   
3. Set it to ‘Private’ and turn on ‘Make this PC discoverable’.
   
4. Close settings when finished.
