Windows 10: Laptop connected to wi-fi/ethernet but no internet. Others laptops and devices in the same...

Hello guys. My girlfriend's work laptop it is not getting internet in our home but it works in her work place. My personal laptop, our phones and other devices connect to the wi-fi and they work with no problem.

The wi-fi get connected but it seems no internet. We already tried an ethernet cable and also no internet. We tried both wireless network the router has, 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 ghz and also no internet.

I actually don't know what to look for it. I'm not sure if it is a Windows problem or something wrong with the router. The weird thing is because she says the internet works in her job/company.

The router is provided by my ISP. I am concerned if I reset router I would have to call tech support from my ISP to configure the internet again, some ISP works like that, and I will actually lose the internet in all my devices in home.

Any tips about what I could try it?

Using Wi-Fi. Need to share this connection over ethernet.

NOTE: I do not have physical access to the modem/router that broadcasts the WI-FI I am using.

The laptop I am using is connected to the internet over wi-fi.

I have a PC that does not have wi-fi capability. I have a switch so I can connect my laptop to the PC over ethernet.

I want to share the internet connection that my laptop has with my PC.

I have Googled but results are focused on hot-spots etc.

 

Different Network Connection From the same Wi-Fi

Hi,

Thank you for providing the details.

As mentioned above in your post, the Desktop is connected to the Ethernet
and Laptop is Connected to the Wi-Fi. It is not possible to connect to the same Wi-Fi networks. If both Desktop and Laptop are on Wi-Fi devices then you could try connecting it to the same Wi-Fi network.

• Did you try the below step provided and what was the result?

I would suggest you to create a new HomeGroup and check if it helps.

Ethernet/ Wi-Fi Conflict??

My Windows 10 desktop is immediately next to my XFINITY Xfi modem. The computer has a wired Ethernet connection and is also connecting by Wi-Fi.

The computer often drops its internet connection while a laptop in another room (connected only by Wi-Fi) stays connected reliably.

Could there be a conflict between the two connections causing that? Would I be better off disabling the Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection?
