  1. Media disconnected, cannot connect to this network


    I’ve been trying to fix my laptop for some time now.

    I have a LG with windows 10 on it.

    Last week i had a problem and the wifi was not connecting, i spent some time trying to fix it and it worked.

    Now, its not connecting again. When I put the password it says that cant connect to the network.

    Tried to do ipcomfig/release reset a bunch of stuff that I found in here. Nothing seems to work.

    The mesage I get is that the operation cant be executed in Ethernet while the media is disconnected.

    The operation cant be executed in local connection 9/10 while media is disconnected.

    Please, if someone know how to fix this.

    :)

    IPCONFIG /ALL reveals Media State = Media Disconnected for many users

    It is perfectly clear.

    Look at my screen shot. The "Ethernet adaptor Local Area Connedtion" doesn't say media disconnected.

    That is because there is a cable connected to that connection. That is where my internet and network is coming from. Because that connection doesn't say media disconnected, I have network access and internet access. If I unplug the network cable from my machine, and run it again, it changes to media disconnected.

    When you add the /all switch to ipconfig, it shows you every network connection.

    The isatap and tunnelling connections that it lists are NOT releated to your ISP. They are actually virtual connections created to handle sending IPv6 packets over a private IPv4 network. It only really applies to very specific conditions, and for the most part will always say media disconnected. You should ignore these, as they have nothing to do with if you are actually connected to a network or the Internet.

    I don't see how this is hard to figure out. If the cable isn't plugged in, or you aren't connected to a wireless network, it will say media disconnected.

  4. Media disconnected, cannot connect to this network

    Media disconnected and cannot connect to anything

    Hi,

    I tried all the steps. When i was doing this

    • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
    • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
    • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
    • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
    • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
    In the third step, ipconfig/ rease no operations can be performed as media is disconnected. This error comes for Bluetooth, wlan and wifi all.

    I tried troubleshooting network adapter also but in vain.

    Please let me know the next steps.
