My PC has lost its internet connection—help!
Asked by

Hey everyone, I'm having a rough time with my PC. I suddenly lost internet access and I've been troubleshooting for about two hours already. I've tried all sorts of things, like toggling the network adapter on and off, deleting and reinstalling the adapter, changing the DNS settings multiple times, resetting the network, restarting the Wi-Fi, and even clearing the old DNS cache. I've reset TCP/IP and temporarily disabled IPv6 as well. Despite all this, there's still no internet, and it was working just fine yesterday. I really don't think it's a problem with my antivirus or firewall. Any ideas on what else I could do?

Have you tried using a different device to see if the internet is working there? If you have a USB drive with 8GB or more, you could create a bootable Linux system (Ubuntu is a good choice) to check if the network works outside of your current system settings.

Did you reboot your router or modem? Sometimes a simple restart can fix connectivity issues.

If you're still having issues, consider checking if there might be malware affecting your system. It could be worth running a scan with a trusted malware guide.
