I asked because a common issue is that a device can happily connect to the wifi from the router and the router can be connected to the Internet, but something on the device is blocking that from getting on to the router. It will then show the "no Internet" warning. This is pretty common on PCs where the Windows tried to protect the local network from nasty things in the outside world. Sadly, those "nasty things" can be the Internet.
I see no sign that you have followed the advice from FURRYe38 and asked for help in the right section for your hardware.
Some issues are generic to all routers, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems
Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.
Maybe someone there will understand what you are saying.- Easypeasy5Jan 21, 2022AspirantSorry I couldn't make you understand my problem. I'll try elsewhere. Cheers
