    Why does wireless icon say no Internet connection?


    I just switched to Windows 10 from the Apple/Mac OS world, and am still learning my way around.


    Why does my home network connection say No Internet, Secured, or just Secured sometimes? I have one of those networks where one of them is 5G at the end. I have tried both of the two connections (5G and non-5G) but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have a antivirus program, firewall and Windows Defender. Do I actually need all of these on?


    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Wireless icon shows red x and says connected to internet

    Hi Kamil,

    To resolve your concern regarding the red (x) showing on your wireless icon, we suggest that you clear all preferred wireless networks from your network configuration by following the steps below:

    • Click on Windows + I to launch Settings, and then choose
      Network & Internet.
    • Choose the WiFi tab, and then scroll down to find Manage known networks. Click it.
    • You will see a list of old wireless networks. Choose each and click on the
      Forget       button to delete all of them.
    • Go to Network Connections, and make sure your wireless adapter is enabled by right clicking and selecting
      enable.
    • Make sure your WiFi router is working properly and there’s no network problem with your local area network.

    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.

    Wireless icon shows red x and says connected to internet

    I have a following problem:

    Wireless icon shows red x and says connected to internet. And it is true, my PC is fully connected, but icon is showing something else.

    OS is the latest version Windows 10 and this problem started after reinstallation of software for wireless USB adapter. Icon on welcome screen with password field input is OK, there is not red cross.

    Thanks for help

    Why does wireless icon say no Internet connection?

    Wireless connection available but says "No internet, secured"

    What if there's no - Wireless lan listed? Everything else is there and I tried your steps but it didn't work. Still have WiFi no internet, secured message.
