no internet access but connected

February 13, 2019

If not, you should try restarting the wireless router along with your cable modem or ISP router, if you have one. First, connect your computer to the router using a Ethernet cable and see if you can connect to the Internet. If so, that means there is something wrong with just your wireless network connection.

What does it mean when it says connected no Internet?

Problems connecting to wifi - connected but no internet access. If you are connected, but don't have inrternet access it usually means either you didn't get an IP address from the wifi access point or router etc. It means that either they don't want you accessing the internet or your machine is not configured correctly.

Can WiFi be connected but no Internet access?

WiFi connected but no Internet: Start with the router. If the Internet works fine on other devices, the problem lies with your device and its WiFi adapter. On the other hand, if the Internet doesn't work on other devices too, then the problem is most likely with the router or the Internet connection itself.

Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?

Other devices operating on the same frequency (i.e. older cordless phones) can interfere and weaken the signal. Large household speakers placed in close proximity to your router can cause interference due to the large magnets inside. Try changing the Wi-Fi channel on your router.
