connectivity

I cannot connect my laptop to my internet.

It states it is available but I have limited access.

I brought my laptop to my workplace and it connected to the internet just fine

so I am thinking it is something with how I have my router set up?

Everything else connects to it just fine (chromebooks, phones, etc)

It used to connect just fine and then suddenly doesn't do it anymore.

Any suggesstions?

  • On the laptop that is having the issue, check if it is getting a proper IP address. Also if possible, on a different system, head to the router page and check the atached devices page to see if something else is using the same LAN IP.

     

    If that happens, then it could mean an issue with the laptop not proprly getting an IP or trying to use the wrong one (e.g., if a static IP wasever set in the IPv4  settings).
