Hey everyone, I just upgraded my GPU and had to disconnect everything. Now my PC connects to my home WiFi but it says there's no Internet access. This isn't happening on my phone or laptop, which both connect just fine. My internet provider is Exceed through DirecTV, and I have a Netgear router. I'm not sure about my motherboard or the wireless antenna at the moment. I did a speed test on my phone, and it showed 13.1 Mbps download and 3.21 Mbps upload. I've also tried using Ethernet, but my home Internet is pretty slow, so I rely on a hotspot for gaming, and my PC won't connect to it via Ethernet. Any help would be appreciated! Sorry if my formatting's a bit off; I don't use forums much unless I need help.

It sounds like your PC might be having some trouble finding the right connection settings after the GPU upgrade. Have you tried rebooting your router? Sometimes, just powering it off and back on can clear up strange issues like this. Just a thought!
First things first, if you're connected but have no Internet, it could be an IP issue. Try running **ipconfig** in Command Prompt to check your IP address. If it starts with 169.x.x.x, that indicates a problem with your connection to the router. Resetting your router or checking your network settings may help you get back online. Let me know what you find out!
I don't know how to run that command, can you help?
I haven't tried that yet! I'll give it a shot.
