Windows 10: Wifi and Ethernet is not available, Firewall wont work either

Hello, can someone help me? Wifi and ethernet suddenly disappeared. File explorer is very slow to open. Firewall can't be turned on, for some reason my windows firewall is unavailable but everything else works fine except for the said issues. I've tried system restore but no luck. Tried going safe mode, still no luck.


I tried reset, going to safe mode and reinstalling network drivers, it still doesnt work.

Not connected to wifi- wifi networks available but wont show.

Hi, recently my PC stopped connecting to wifi, i thought nothing of it and just plugged in ethernet. Since ive moved house i need to use Wi-Fi but my pc wont let me see the available networks, infact it wont even pop the menu up when i click the symbol
on the toolbar. the drivers are there, ive uninstalled them and restarted, i even turned off firewalls but there seems to be nothing working. Anyone got another suggestion.

 

WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

Fart

Brandon,

I don't know what I mean. YES ON WIF i can connect to the internet, but you cannot connect to anthing plugged into the same WIFI ROUTER with CAT5 Cable ethernet. My MacBook Pro has WIFI and ehternet, ethernet wont work, but wifi will. My Dell does not have wifi, and I cannot connect to the network or internet at all. As I mentioned, I changed the WIFI Router about a week ago, problem solved, for 3-4 days, now ethernet to the new router does not work again.

 

WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

OK but why?

NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.
