Check out Why can't I get online? and try some of the basic troubleshooting steps
mentioned there.
Restart your modem and wireless router. This helps create a new connection to
your Internet service provider ISP. When you do this, everyone that is connected
to your WiFi network will be temporarily disconnected.
The steps you take to restartyour modem and router can vary, but here are the
general steps:
1. Unplug the power cable for the router from the power source.
2. Unplug the power cable for the modem from the power source.
Some modems have a backup battery. So if you unplug the modem and
lights stay on, remove the battery from the modem.
If you had to remove the battery from the modem, put it back in.
4. Plug the modem back into the power source. The lights on the modem will
blink. Wait for them to stop blinking.
Wait a few minutes for the modem and router to fully power on. You can
usually tell when theyre ready by looking at the status lights on the two
devices.
Generate a wireless network report. This report can help you diagnose the
problem, or at least provide you with more information to give to others who
might be able to help.
1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command prompt, press and hold
or rightclick Command prompt, and then select Run as administrator >
Yes.
This creates an HTML file that you can open in your web browser from the
location listed under the command prompt. For more info about the network
report and how to analyze it, see Analyze the wireless network report in Fix WiFi
problems in Windows 10.
Make sure its not a problem with your cable modem or Internet service provider
ISP.
1. If it is, contact your ISP. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command
prompt, press and hold or rightclick Command prompt, and then select
Run as administrator > Yes.
Look for the IP address listed next to Default gateway. Write down that
address if you need to. For example: 192.168.1.1
If the ping is successful and you see results similar to the results above, but
cant connect to the Internet on your PC, there may be a problem with your
modem or Internet service provider ISP.
Run the Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands
The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems.
Using this troubleshooter, then running some networking commands afterwards if
needed, can help get you connected.
1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and then select

If Windows cant find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturers
website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't
connect to the Internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save it to
a USB flash drive, so you can manually install the driver on your PC. Youll need to know
the PC manufacturer and model name or number.
Do one of the following, depending on what kind of file you downloaded from the PC
manufacturers website:
If you downloaded an executable .exe file, just doubleclick the file to run it and
install the drivers. That should be all you need to do.
If you downloaded individual files,and at least one file has an .inf file name
extension and another has a .sys extension, do the following:

The steps to turn off antivirus or malwareprevention software depend on the software
youre using. Check the documentation for your software to learn how to turn it off. Make
sure you turn it back on as soon as possible. Not having antivirus or malwareprevention
software turned on makes your PC more vulnerable to hackers, worms, or viruses.
If youre not sure what antivirus or malwareprevention software program you have
installed, Windows might be able to tell you.
1. In the search box on the taskbar, type System and security, and then select
Review your computers status and resolve issues.
If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it's listed under Virus protection.
For malwareprevention software, look under Spyware and unwanted software
protection.
Make sure you turn your antivirus or malwareprevention software back on as soon as
you can to make sure your PC is better protected.
Before uninstalling, make sure you have drivers available as a backup. Visit the PC
manufacturers website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If

doesn't automatically install a driver, try to install the backup driver you saved
before uninstalling.
This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from a previous
version of Windows to Windows10, as well as fix problems where you can connect to the
Internet but not to shared network drives. It removes any network adapters you have
installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are
reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.
Note
To use network reset, your PC must be running Windows10 Version 1607 or later. To see which
version of Windows10 your device is currently running, select the Start button, then select
Settings > System > About.
1. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet >
Status > Network reset.
2. On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes to confirm.
Wait for your PC to restart and see if that fixes the problem.
Notes
After using network reset, you might need to reinstall and set up other networking software you
might be using, such as VPN client software or virtual switches from HyperV if you're using that
or other network virtualization software.
Network reset might set each one of your known network connections to a public network mode.
In a public network mode, your PC is not discoverable to other PCs and devices on the network,
which can help make your PC more secure. However, if your PC is part of a homegroup or used
for file or printer sharing, youll need to make your PC discoverable again. To do this, go to
Settings > Network & Internet > WiFi. On the WiFi screen, select Manage known
networks > the network connection you want to change > Properties, and then turn on the
switch under Make this PC discoverable.
