Windows 10: No Internet, Secured

I have a issue with my internet on my Laptop. I have a:

- Toshiba Satallite C50-B
- Operating system is Windows 10 Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.674)
- Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter

A few weeks ago when I went to use my laptop it could not connect to the internet - note, all of my other devices can still connect fine.

My laptop can identify Wifi networks available. But for my home network it says 'No Internet, secured'.

I have searched for fixes in the internet using my phone. I have tried the following:

- re-starting my laptop. Didnt work.

- using a driver utility to update my drivers. This doesnt work as the laptop needs internet to access new driver ipdates.

- resetting my wireless network adapter. Didnt work.

- using a cable instead of wifi to get internet. Didnt work.

- resetting my wifi modem. Didnt work.

- searching for drivers on toshiba website for my laptop. The toshiba site no longer appears to support my model of laptop as i couldnt find my model on their website.

- downloading network adapter drivers from other websites onto my phone then transferring them o to the laptoo for download. Didnt work.

I understand a large number of people have encountered this issue but I havnt found a fix for mine yet. Is anyone able to help me?

Thank you

Nathan

Wi-Fi is on // No connection (after Windows Update)

On Oct 13 windows updated.

The update must've invited malware into my computer. I tried to run my antivirus after the update but it said there's no connection. Google chrome lost connection as well and then I got a pop-up saying that Windows Defender found and blocked a "Severe Trojan
threat". So I deleted it and I still don't have connection... (weirdly) the only thing that works is the Explorer app. I have internet; the Wi-Fi works just fine but, everything else doesn't connect. It's something internal that must be causing
the problem and it all started after the update.

P.S.

It also changed my network from private to public so I had to fix that.

And YES, I did allow these programs through the Firewall so that's not the problem.

still isn't working.

 

Hi, if you search the forum for your error message you will find some relevant threads where this has been discussed. Some have evidently struggled with it.

E.g.
Windows Wi-Fi doesn't have a valid IP configuration - Page 3 - Windows 10 Forums
(perhaps the last 3 or 4 posts)

See this- same device:
Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter driver version - Microsoft Community

Note- of course you could try:
System Restore (if available and applicable)
Using an ethernet connection if you need access while fixing this
