If your Windows 11 PC shows that WiFi is connected but there is no internet access, this issue can be frustrating—especially when everything looks fine at first glance.
In most cases, the problem is caused by network settings, drivers, or temporary system glitches, not your internet service provider.
Here are safe and effective fixes you can try.
According to Google’s official Android support documentation, network settings can affect WiFi stability.
1. Restart Your Computer and Router
Start with the basics.
- Restart your Windows 11 computer
- Power off your modem and router
- Wait 30 seconds and turn them back on
Temporary network conflicts often resolve after a full restart.
2. Run the Windows Network Troubleshooter
Windows 11 includes a built-in tool that can automatically detect problems.
- Open Settings
- Go to System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters
- Click Run next to Internet Connections
Follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Disable and Re-enable the WiFi Adapter
Refreshing the network adapter can restore connectivity.
- Press Windows + X
- Select Network Connections
- Click Advanced network settings
- Disable your WiFi adapter
- Wait a few seconds, then enable it again
4. Reset Network Settings
If the issue continues, resetting network settings may help.
⚠️ This will remove saved WiFi passwords.
- Go to Settings → Network & Internet
- Select Advanced network settings
- Click Network reset
- Restart your PC
5. Update Network Drivers
Outdated drivers can cause internet issues.
- Open Device Manager
- Expand Network adapters
- Right-click your WiFi adapter
- Select Update driver
Restart after updating.
