How To Fix WIFI Connected But No Internet Access (Either Windows, 10, 8, Or 7)?
Here you will learn a number of ways to fix a WIFI
connection problem (it says connected but no internet access). This is often seen
by a yellow triangle on the WIFI icon and or seen when you click on your Wi-Fi
icon then see it saying “Wi-Fi-connected, but no internet access” and also not
getting you access to the internet when you browse a particular search term on
search engines… they are different possible reasons… this problem it could be a
problem with the service provider and a network configuration setting on your laptop…
Now let’s try to work on the problem and have our laptop connected
to the WIFI network again…
Before changing any setting on your laptop first check if this
problem is coming from your service provider (Wi-Fi router) …
To check the problem with the service provider, connect your
laptop with a network cable (which will be running from the laptop to the Wi-Fi)
if the triangle keeps showing after connecting your Wi-Fi with a cable this
means the problem is with your service provider (or Wi-Fi router) – I suggest
that you fix that with your service provider. However, if the yellow triangle disappears
then check your Wi-Fi router and test it with another laptop by connecting it wirelessly.
If the other device can connect, then your laptop network configuration
settings are corrupt (meaning we should now try to work on them) …
How To Resolve This Problem?
1. Run Network Troubleshoot
- To get the troubleshoot go to the Wi-Fi icon “right-click on it then click troubleshoot to begin.

Another way to get this troubleshoot is to go to:

- Followed by the same feedback and resolved automatically. Restart your laptop and connect it again to the Wi-Fi router to check if is fixed.
2. If that fails, Reset Network Adaptors
