    Desktop pc wont connect to ethernet. "Unidentified network" and "no internet mesages"


    I have many devices connected to my router's wifi and my desktop PC is connected to the router via ethernet cable.

    Last night, the pc just stopped recognizing the router and the network now comes up as "unidentified network".

    There are numerous other devices that have been using wifi internet all day. So the internet connection isn't the issue.

    I have turned both the desktop and the router off several times, left them off for prolonged periods, had them unplugged while powered down, even swapped the ethernet cable. So I'm thinking the router itself isn't the issue the only possible issue I could see is that we added our 11th device to the network yesterday, but there's not supposed to be a device limit on my router, and if there was, one would think that the ethernet connection would get priority over a wireless one..

    This leaves either a problem with my settings or a problem with my ethernet card. How to diagnose what's wrong and fix it?

    :)

  2. Ethernet Connection Shows "unidentified network and no internet access"

    I'm a student and I went and got my PC hooked up for the campus ethernet, the connection was fine for about 3 days and after that it started showing a message saying "unidentified network and no internet access" after that it just said network and no internet
    access, while if I hook a laptop to to the same cable it connects to the internet with no problem at all, but my PC says no internet access. Is there a way to fix this problem and my PC is using windows 10

    [Original Title: Ethernet]

  3. Unidentified Network - No Internet - Ethernet

    When I plug my Ethernet cord into my PC it says Unidentified Network - No Internet. I have searched everywhere for a solution, but none will work. I've tried updating the driver, troubleshooting, reseting etc, etc.

    I have used a wired connection before (at another house) and I had no problem and now it won't work at this one. However the same wired connection works on my laptop and even my xbox one, but not my desktop PC.

    By the way I am running windows 10.

    Internet Slowdown on my Desktop - Ethernet Connection

    Thanks Vijay. I went through your steps other than the repair upgrade, and there was no change. Before I do the repair upgrade, I want to check on another angle.

    I went into Networks and Sharing and realized that Windows is simply not recognizing my Verizon modem/router as the Ethernet connection. The slow internet access is due to the fact that the desktop is picking up the WiFi signal, and it's not strong on this
    device.

    For Ethernet, I get an "Unidentified Network" and when I click on Ethernet Status, the IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity lists "no network access". Looking at the Ethernet properties, the "Connect Using" lists Realtek PCle GBE Family Controller. Shouldn't it
    be the Verizon modem name? Also noticed that the Microsoft Network Adaptor Multiplexor Protocol is unchecked. Not sure if that matters.

    I think what I need to do is somehow configure the Verizon modem again, but not sure how.
