    I cannot connect wirelessly to the internet anymore


    Hi there


    I am on a laptop which is only a month old. I've had no problem connecting with the internet until now. Switched off the laptop last night and it had been fine, turned it on this morning and i can no longer connect wirelessly to the internet.


    Im on windows 10, in device manager it says the device is working properly realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller. When i click to connect wirelessly it doesnt show any wireless connections and just says "Change settings such as making a metered connection". No windows updates have occurred that could have caused a problem, and i havent installed any additional software. Connecting with an ethernet cable connects no problem.

    :)

    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,

    I cannot connect wirelessly to the internet anymore

    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.
