connected to wifi but cant connect to the Internet? - Beans - 04-08-2014 04:19 AM
My laptop shows that im connected to wifi but for some reason when I open google Chrome or ie google chrome says "this webpage is not available", & ie says "this page cant be displayed". I ran my anti virus program & there's no virus. I rebooted my laptop, & even did the cmd thing. 1 thing i have noticed is that the imap, which tells you the degrees outside, still works. Can someone tell me what else I can do?
P.S. I forgot to mention that all other devices in the house work fine with the wifi. Its just my laptop.

Check your browser and make sure its not in offline mode. I don't use chrome but I think most browsers have this option.

power cycle.. Remove all the power sources & cords on the router etc, everything.. Then put it back..

Refresh your router and if it is still not working, feel free to contact your internet service provider for assistance. Goodluck!

Hi,
All you need to do it to change your WiFi broadcasting channel. Open up your router`s setup by entering the default gateway IP, enter username password if prompted ->go to WiFi or Wireless Lan setting and make sure that broadcasting is b/g/n mixed mode, then check what broadcasting channel is selected starting from 1 to 11/13, in case of extreme start or end make in middle like 6 or 7 and in case of any middle number like 6 to 8 make it either 10 or 3. By changing the broadcasting channel shall hopefully stop any interference with other frequencies.
Good Luck
