Windows 10: Internet Slowdown on my Desktop - Ethernet Connection

A few days ago, I lost my internet connection on my HP desktop, where I use an ethernet cable. I contacted Verizon, and after some tests it was clear that the modem/router was not the problem as my other devices could access the web just fine via the WiFi connection. So it was clear that Windows 10 was the problem.


I did a network reset, and while I was able to get an Internet connection after doing so, the connection is weak and the downloads are very slow. Again, I don't believe it's a Verizon problem, so what can I do to get my browsing back to normal?


When I go into Network and Internet Settings, and click on Status, I get a "You're Connected" message with the name of the Verizon router/modem. But when I click on "Ethernet" I get "Unidentified Network - No Internet", which makes no sense - this happened at the same time I lost the internet connection a few days ago.

share internet connection in pc desktop &laptop

Operating systems on each computer?

If the desktop has two ethernet connections, you can set it up so that one has the modem (internet) and the other is connected to the laptop (cable from desktop to laptop).

If you want wireless, you will need a router unless you have a wireless connection and ethernet connection on the desktop, in which case you can do the same above, only instead of cable from pc to laptop, its wireless connection from pc to laptop.

 

Changing internet type on a internet passthrough ethernet connection

Hi SanJ16,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



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.
   

Hope it helps,

 

Desktop with Ethernet cannot connect to Internet but phone can


A few days ago my Windows 10 desktop suddenly stopped being able to connect to the Internet. It was literally a case of it worked fine - nothing was changed or downloaded and then two hours later I could not load any web pages. My desktop does not have a wireless card and it is connected to the Netgear router via an Ethernet cable. I tried re-installing the modem router via the Smart Wizard software and got an error saying the cable or router could not be located. I could connect to the router page via 192.168.0.1. I contacted my ISP and they confirmed they could see me connected.

Today, I got a brand new Netgear router, plugged it in but still my desktop could not connect to the Internet. I can confirm the router is working perfectly because I was able to the connect to it via my phone and laptop wirelessly. I am now on the Internet but my Win10 desktop is still not working.

A new network was created when I plugged in the new router but as before in Network Connections screen I have:-

Local Area Connection - Device Name: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller - Connectivity: No Internet Access.

In the screen from right clicking the start button and choosing Network Connections if I click the Local Area Connection I get IPv4Connectivity: No Internet Access.

I checked and no updated from anything were downloaded during the three hour period when it was working to not working. In Device Manager the Realtek is working fine, it is enabled.

I cannot download anything on my desktop because it will not connect to the Internet. I cannot use the 192.168.0.1 screen int the browser to access the Netgear router page. I'm totally totally stumped *Sad. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks,
