# Wi-Fi Connected but No Internet? How to Fix It on Windows

Restart the modem, then the router, then the computer. If other devices work but this PC doesn’t, its network settings are the problem: renew its address, clear its DNS cache, remove leftover VPN or proxy settings, and use Network reset if needed.

- **Starting price:** From $100

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Check whether other devices on the same network work
- Restart the modem, then the router, then the computer
- Open a browser to see if a sign-in page appears
- In Command Prompt, run ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns
- Turn off any proxy in Settings › Network & internet › Proxy
- Use Network reset in Settings › Network & internet › Advanced network settings

Common causes

- The internet connection itself is down
- The computer has a bad address or DNS setting
- A proxy or VPN setting left behind by software
- Security software blocking the connection
- A hotel or guest network waiting for you to sign in

## When it’s more than a quick fix

If nothing on the network works after restarting, call your internet provider. If only this PC fails after a network reset, it needs a closer look.
