Are you seeing "No Internet" or "No Wi-Fi Networks Found" on your laptop? Don't worry - this guide will show you how to reset your network settings in Windows and fix any connection issues in just a few clicks.

Common symptoms include:

Why This Problem Happens

This issue often happens because of:

Extra Tips to Improve Internet Connection

Run Windows Troubleshooter

Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can automatically detect and fix common issues.

Update Wi-Fi Drivers

Outdated drivers can cause connectivity problems. Visit your laptop manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.

Disable VPN or Proxy Temporarily

VPNs and proxy servers can sometimes interfere with your connection. Try disabling them to see if it resolves the issue.

Restart Your Router

Sometimes the problem is with your router, not your computer. Unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

Use Command Prompt Commands

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
                    

Restart your computer after running these commands.

Conclusion

After following these steps, your internet connection should work smoothly again. If the issue persists, check your Wi-Fi driver or router connection.
