I'm having an issue with my Windows 11 computer that's connected to the router via ethernet cable. While my other devices are working fine on the WiFi, my PC shows that there's no internet connection. At boot, the ethernet icon flashes a few times but then goes to a 'no internet' status. In the network settings, it's fluctuating between 'unidentified network' and 'network 4', both indicating no internet. I noticed that data is being both sent and received normally, and the connection duration is climbing up. Here's what I've already tried: rebooting both devices, performing a network reset, switching LAN ports, updating the ethernet drivers, manually setting DNS to 8888 and 8844, restarting the ethernet drivers, and ensuring there's no firewall in place. Unfortunately, I don't have another device to test the ethernet cable. Any suggestions?

One thing you could try is setting a static IP address for your PC. Sometimes, just disabling any firewalls helps too. See if that makes a difference!
I’d recommend not changing too many settings just yet. Leave your network card on auto and DNS on auto too. Run the command `ipconfig` in the command prompt and share the results here. That’ll help us understand where the issue might be!
Good idea! Let's get a clearer picture of the current network status before making more changes.
