    Also, there are no yellow ! in device manager under network, but I am getting was getting these other errors

    But oddly enough it now has seemed to fix the problem after sitting dormant for the last 2 weeks lol this technology is just always totally un-explainable sometimes lol

    I guess I'm gtg for now. Thanks for the help.

    Ugh now I can't attach pics because of a stupid security token - why is technology such a pain in the AS*!!

    Ok this is really beyond frustrating.


    So after it started working just fine out of the blue the last time, it has now begun to be really difficult.


    I went to mcdonalds the other day and connected just fine. Then I bring it home and no dice.


    It will connect to my home wifi, but I get a yellow ! and can't connect to the internet


    Then I tried to go to back to Mcdonalds and it connects with no yellow ! but I can not actually browse anything or even bring up mcdonalds terms of service.


    WTF is the problem here, this is ridiculous I have this much problem connecting a laptop to the internet in 2018.

    Hmm. Hopefully this works:









    I don't get so so much stuff says disconnected? What makes even less sense is it's worked fine at least at one point.

    Disable ipv6 on all adapters as it not used unless you use homegroup but it creates loads of tunnels adapter remove all then



    • Open Start Menu
    • Type In: Device Manager
    • Select Device Manager
    • Click the View menu from the top
    • Select Show Hidden Devices (Must be check before continuing)
    • Scroll down and expand Network Adapters
    • Right-Click a duplicated Microsoft 6to4 Adapter or Microsoft ISATAP Adapter
    • Select Uninstall
    • Click OK for the pop-up warning message
    • Repeat and repeat for each of the unwanted duplicated adapter
    • Close Device Manager when finish

    Does the port on the router show the cable connected?


    The problem is often a side effect of runing vpn as a test disable or remove vpn see if that cures it

    There are 4 different Microsoft ISATAP Adapters, 1, 2, 3 & 4


    Which one(s) should I disable?


    So if I plan on using a VPN, what is the solution to fix this with that in mind?

    Get rid of all the adapters. The VPN is a test to see if that's the problem or at least rule it out its often a setting in the VPN as it's not seeing cable as a connection. Cable would normally go straight out but with VPN it doesn't it goes via VPN but that's not seeing it as it's looking for wireless

    Ok so wait, I was trying to connect to the wifi, you're saying to physically plug it into the router to see if I get access?


    I deleted all 4 of those & even restarted and tried to use the wizard to push through and connect to the internet, but still no dice.


    What next?
