  1. Wifi looks to be connected but no Internet access


    I've been having an issue with my computer's wifi for almost a year now. Every few days, my computer will stop being able to connect to the internet. When diagnosing my network settings, nothing is ever found. It also does not say anything is wrong with my wifi, there is no "no internet access" note on my wifi, the bars are still full, everything looks normal, but it does not work. Google will only say that there was a network error when opening a new tab or trying to visit a website.


    One more strange thing is that my internet is not completely cut when this happens. If this happens while I am on a Discord call, the call will not be cut or affected in any way, yet using the internet still does not work.


    My wifi does not seem to be the issue, because it still works with other devices. I have also tried changing which wifi I am connected to, but the new connection also does not work.

    The only temporary fix to the issue I have found is restarting my computer. Everything will work fine then for a few days, then it will stop working again.


    What I have tried already:

    -Googling my issue

    -Changing wifi connection

    -Restarting my computer

    -Troubleshooting network problems

    -Resetting Network settings

    -Factory reset of my computer


    If it matters at all I am running Windows 10 Home 1909 on an Alienware 17 R5


    Thank you for any assistance!

    :)

    Randomly losing internet connection on a wifi network

    Is that ipv4 pool for DHCP? I usually set fixed IP addresses outside dynamic pool (so above .64 in your case)

    Other solutions: like Superfly suggested, new wifi adapter (USB solutions in your case), and found one old HP thread... uninstalling HP hotkeys worked for someone - looks like app was messing with physical key...)

    Lumia 610 connecting to wifi but no internet access

    You can try these troubleshooting steps:





    1. Move closer to a WLAN access point to get better WLAN signal.

    2. Check that you do not have MAC (Media Access Control) address
    filtering on in the access point settings. If your WLAN network uses MAC address filtering for security. You will need to know the MAC address for your phone, and then add it to the access list for the network before you can connect. To find
    the MAC address for your phone, do the following:



      • Press Start, then swipe left to the App list.
      • Select Settings > About > More info.
      • If there are many WLAN access points nearby, try to use a different wireless
        channel in your WLAN access point.
    3. If you are using a public WLAN access point, it is possible that all
    IP addresses
    are in use. Try to create a connection again later.

    4. On your Lumia phone, delete non functioning WLAN access point (internet connection) and connect it again:
