    My computer thinks I’m on an Ethernet connection...


    My PC was working perfectly fine on the internet for around an hour or so, but at one point my internet seemingly disconnected. I checked my WiFi, and my PC is showing the symbol that comes up when you’re connected to an Ethernet connection. When I go into the menu, it’s still coming up as being connected to my WiFi, but my internet isn’t working. It’s working fine on my phone, I’ve tried restarting and using the built in windows troubleshooter but I’ve had no luck.

    Ethernet Connection

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    We would like to ask additional information that will help us in resolving the issue.



    • What kind of computer are you using? Is it a desktop or a laptop?
    • Did you make any recent changes to your computer?
    • Have you tried troubleshooting the issue by yourself? If yes, what were the steps you have taken so far?


    I would suggest you to try the following and check:



    • Verify that the cable connects the modem to the wall jack is connected securely.
    • Verify that the cable connects the computer to the modem is attached securely at both ends.
    • Restart the router/modem.


    Follow the steps and let us know if it helps.
