Internet Connection Problem? - Ohai - 04-08-2014 08:03 PM
Okay so on the seventh of February I used the computer just as I normally do, it's a pink sony VAIO laptop, and it was working fine. For some reason the next day it claimed to be connected to the WiFi, but not connected to the actual internet. I tried connecting to my iPhone 5S's personal hotspot WiFi, but it continued with the same message. I then tried connecting to my WiFi from different devices like my Dad's laptop and some tablets, and all were able to work properly and fully use the internet So I'm guessing the issue has more to do with my actual laptop. I did call my service provider and he came to the same conclusion, although the only solution my actual laptop detects is an issue with the router though it's weird for different Wifi to all have the same problem. I did try disconnecting the router etc just in case but no results. Not to mention how I tried a system restore and that came out with an error too What should I do?

Try turning off your router and turning it back on

Did you reboot the laptop? If so try updating the wireless adapter driving in the device manager. Or even uninstall it then reboot. Windows will reinstall it. I'm betting your laptop is on Windows 8. That OS is known for this issue. If it is just do a refresh to a date before it started happening.

First restart your router then you may can try by updating your WiFi driver.
