I turned off my PC last night and now that I've powered it back up, I'm having issues with connecting to the internet. My WiFi network shows that I'm connected, but I can't access any websites. I can't use a LAN cable, so I'm hoping for some guidance on how to fix this. If you need more information, just let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!

Another quick fix could be to forget your network and then reconnect. Sometimes, just re-establishing the connection can resolve the issue.
It could be an issue with your Internet Service Provider or even specifically with the DNS settings. Have you tried calling your ISP? They might be able to provide insight into any widespread issues.
If you have a modem-router combo, unplug the power cord, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. Wait a couple of minutes and see if you get online. If you have separate devices, do the same with the modem. Also, check if other devices can connect to the WiFi. If they can, reboot your PC and ensure your WiFi is enabled.
If possible, consider getting a longer ethernet cable to check your router's connection directly. There can be many potential problems when it comes to internet access.
First things first, try restarting your computer. If that doesn't do it, run the network troubleshooter, restart your network adapter, or even reinstall the WiFi driver from the device manager. Power cycling your modem/router can also work wonders. There are quite a few options to explore!
