If you’ve ever experienced difficulty trying to connect to the internet even with your Wi-Fi connected, you’d agree with me that nothing can be as frustrating. But here’s the good news: It can be fixed. This article will enlighten you on what to do when next you’re faced with a “Wi-Fi Connected But No Internet” situation.<\/p>

Why is Wi-Fi Connected, But no Internet Connection?<\/span><\/h2>

In fact, the issues with network connections are not quite as hard as you believe they are. There are a number of reasons why the Wi-Fi connection to the Internet failed, including the following:<\/p>

  1. Issue with an IP address.<\/li>\n\n
  2. The Wi-Fi router\/modem does not have Wi-Fi connectivity.<\/li>\n\n
  3. Your Internet connection has been cut off because of your antivirus software or another security app.<\/li>\n\n
  4. Insufficient payment for the broadband tariff<\/li>\n\n
  5. The adaptor for the network has to be updated.<\/li>\n\n
  6. Your wireless router or modem likely has a setting that, by default, disables Wi-Fi.<\/li><\/ol>

    As can be seen, there are several reasons for not having a connection to the internet, and the aforementioned list is only a small sample of the typical issues that arise with networks in everyday life. The most typical cause of a Wi-Fi connection but no Internet is a conflict involving an IP address. In the following section, some potential solutions to the widespread problems will be presented.<\/p>

    Wi-Fi Connected But No Internet: What to Do<\/span><\/h2>

    The next time you encounter this connection, do the following:<\/p>

    #1: Check your Internet service provider.<\/span><\/h3>

    If none of your devices can connect to the internet yet your WiFi indicator remains lit, the most obvious explanation is that your internet provider is down. It’s usually a good idea to double-check this before rebooting and rearranging cables. Turn on your phone’s cellular data and search your internet provider’s customer-facing website or social media pages to discover whether there is an outage in your location.<\/p>

    #2: Reboot your modem and\/or router.<\/span><\/h3>

    Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?” It’s a solution so obvious that it’s become routine. When you don’t have an internet connection, it’s an easy repair, and you should always start with the simplest options first. Turn off and unplug your router if you only have a router and no modem. Allow it to rest for a minute before plugging it back in and turning it on again.<\/p>

    If you have a router and a modem, turn them both off, unplug them, and wait a minute or two. After a minute, connect the router and then the modem. It usually takes five to ten minutes for these gadgets to reset and power back up. Then go back and check to see if your devices are still connected.<\/p>

    #3. Double-check your router settings to ensure you have the correct permissions.<\/span><\/h3>

    When there is no internet connection and your internet provider or router is not the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with your network permissions. Every home WiFi network contains “Media Access Control” (MAC) identifiers that allow specific machines to connect to your network. If these permissions are not appropriately specified, your devices may reboot automatically. As a result, you must determine whether this system is in “approve” or “deny” mode.<\/p>
