Building on 's suggestion to check browser offline/proxy settings, the fastest way to fix a mystery "connected but no internet" problem is to isolate which link in the chain is failing: the laptop, the wireless access point (router), or the ISP. The sequence below is a short lab-style checklist that helps pinpoint the fault and gives next steps for each outcome.

From a Command Prompt run these checks to confirm addressing, gateway reachability and name resolution:

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ping <default_gateway_IP>
ping 8.8.8.8
nslookup google.com

Interpretation and actions:

  • If the adapter reports a 169.254.x.x address or no gateway: the laptop is not getting DHCP. Check the wireless adapter state, try a wired connection, and power-cycle the router. Verify MAC filtering or guest/AP-isolation on the router.
  • If the gateway ping fails but the adapter IP looks normal: the AP/router or its link to the ISP is at fault. Reboot the router, check its WAN status page, and test another device on the same network.
  • If ping 8.8.8.8 succeeds but DNS lookups fail: switch DNS to a known resolver (for test, 8.8.8.8) and flush DNS. That fixes name-resolution-only problems.
  • If pings fail to external IPs but gateway works: contact the ISP or inspect the router WAN settings and firmware.

Other practical checks not yet mentioned by posters: confirm the browser is not in Offline mode and that no proxy is set (Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings). Temporarily disable firewall/AV to rule out blocking. Try another device or boot from a Linux live-USB to separate OS/driver issues from network problems.

Note: unsecured wireless exposes devices to risks. Once connectivity is restored, enable WPA2/WPA3 and change the router admin password.

Hi,
if there is no message reported how do you know you are not connected to the internet ?
Maybe your explorer is setup to "off line" regime or - more probably - you are using your business laptop with proxy server settings ?
For our help you have to specify your problem more detail. Is there some message from your IE ? e.g. "IE is not able to find .... "
Regards midl :-)
