(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have 2 laptops and 1 randomly won't get onto the internet. I've tried resetting the router, and I did the 2 windows recommendations in "Automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter 'Wireless Network Connection'." & "Reset the network adapter 'Wireless Network Connection'." It has 4 bars of connection and says "Local Only" for the connection status.

Any help is appreciated.

You talkin to me?
What service provider are you using?
Mot likely you can enable another wireless connection by typing in your IP address into the internet bar on a computer that does have connection to the internet.
You will be prompted to input a username and password for your router. after that just try to find the location of the web restriction. you can enable another device to be use'd for wireless connection.

Hope I helped, I've had some problems with this as well. <3

disabling firewalls can often help in this situation

yeah go to the url and type in your IP adress, to get your ip adress to run, type in cmd and type in ipconfig, and it shows your ip

Relating to the IP adress suggestion, what IP address do I put in? My desktops?


EDIT: I've tried using an ethernet cable to get internet directly from my router and that doesn't even work.

Have you accidentally disabled that connection for the laptop, I did something like this in the past and it was because under connection settings I clicked disable connection and it just made it so that my laptop never acknowledged my internet connection. I would tell you how to fix it if that's the problem but I can't honestly remember.

You can try this, Go to command and run as admin.. Then type ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew and it may help... Or it could be your router =(
