    It looks like you have a good ip address though: IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.109(Preferred)

    What happens if you ping 192.168.1.1 which should be your router address.

    My router address is 192.168.2.1 and this is what I get:

    >ping 192.168.2.1

    Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
