Why does windows 7 write without internet access? The laptop connected to Wi-Fi, but writes without access to the Internet
Very often, laptop users are faced with the problem of lack of Internet, although there seems to be a Wi-Fi connection. Usually in such cases a yellow exclamation point appears on the network tray icon.
Most often, this happens when you change the settings of the router (or even when replacing the router), replacing the Internet provider (in this case, the provider will set up the network for you and give you the necessary passwords for connection and further configuration), when reinstalling the Windows OS. In part, in one of the articles, we have already discussed the main reasons why there may be problems with the Wi-Fi network. In this article I would like to complement and expand this topic.
1. Checking your Internet connection settings
You should always start with the basics...
Personally, the first thing I do in such cases is to check if the settings in the router have gone wrong. The fact is that sometimes, during power surges in the network, or when it is turned off while the router is operating, the settings may go wrong. It is possible that someone accidentally changed these settings (if you are not alone working at the computer).
Most often, the address for connecting to the router settings looks like this: 192.168.1.1/
Password and login: admin (in small Latin letters).
If you are connected via PPoE(the most common) - then you need to specify a password and login to establish a connection.
Pay attention to the tab " WAN"(all routers should have a tab with a similar name). If your provider does not connect via dynamic IP (as is the case with PPoE), you may need to set the connection type L2TP, PPTP, Static IP and other settings and parameters (DNS, IP, etc.) that the provider should have provided to you. Please read your contract carefully. You can use technical support services.
If you changed your router or the network card to which the provider originally connected you to the Internet - you need to configure emulation MAC addresses (you need to emulate the MAC address that was registered with your provider). Each network device has its own and unique MAC address. If you don’t want to emulate, then you need to provide the new MAC address to your Internet provider.
Many people confuse different MAC addresses, which is why connecting and setting up the Internet can take quite a long time. The fact is that we will have to work with several MAC addresses. Firstly, the MAC address that was registered with your provider is important (usually this is the MAC address of that network card or the router that was originally used for connection). Most providers simply assign MAC addresses for the purpose of additional protection, some don't.
Secondly, I recommend that you install filtering in your router so that according to the MAC address of the laptop’s network card, it is given the same internal local IP each time. This will allow you to forward ports without problems in the future and fine-tune programs for working with the Internet.
1) Find out the MAC address of the network card that was originally connected by the Internet provider. The easiest way is through command line. Just open it from the START menu, then type in “ipconfig/all” and press ENTER. You should see something like the following picture.
2) Next, open the router settings, and look for something like the following: “Clone MAC”, “Emulations MAC”, “Replacement MAC...”, etc. all possible derivatives of this. For example, in the “TP-LINK” router this setting is located in the “NETWORK” section. See picture below.
3. Setting up Windows
We'll talk about settings, of course. network connection…
The fact is that it often happens that the network connection settings remain the same, but you have changed the equipment (some kind). Or the provider settings have changed, but you don’t have...
In most cases, IP and DNS in the network connection settings should be provided automatically. Especially if you use a router.
Right-click the network icon in the tray and go to Network and Sharing Center and shared access. See picture below.
Several network adapters should appear in front of us. We are interested in the wireless connection settings. Right-click on it and go to its properties.
We are interested in the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” tab. Look at the properties of this tab: IP and DNS should be obtained automatically!
4. Personal experience is the reason for the “no Internet access” error
At the end of the article, I would like to give a couple of reasons why my laptop connected to the router, but informed me that the connection was without Internet access.
1) The first, and probably the funniest, is the lack of money in the account. Yes, some providers charge money daily, and if you don’t have money in your account, you are automatically disconnected from the Internet. Moreover, the local network will be available and you can easily view your balance, go to the technical forum. support, etc. Therefore, simple advice - if all else fails, first ask your provider.
2) Just in case, check the cable that is used to connect the Internet. Is it inserted well into the router? In any case, most router models have an LED that will help you determine if there is contact. Pay attention to this!
That's all. Wishing everyone fast and stable internet! Good luck.
There are several reasons why there is Wi-FI without Internet access. Often the problems lie in routers and access points, but there are also cases when the fault is caused by services installed in the operating system.
Read on to find out the cause of the problem.
Problem Determination
First you need to find out at what stage of the connection the problem arose. To make sure that the problem lies in the router settings, you need to try connecting to the Wi-FI network through another Windows laptop or smartphone.
If the error disappears and the Internet connection is present on another device, the user will know what needs to be done Wi-Fi setup adapter in the laptop itself.
In the event that access to the network was not obtained from any device, you will need to look for problems with the router, access point, modem or Internet provider.
It is also worth trying to connect the network via network cable, bypassing routers. This will allow you to identify problems more specifically.
If you have access to the Internet via cable, then you should change the settings of the router or access point itself; if not, the problem is with the modem (if available) or the provider.
Disabling network access on the provider side
Sometimes, due to malfunctions or technical work, you can see a yellow triangle, which notifies the user of a limited Internet connection.
In the case where the equipment settings were not performed, but access was nevertheless lost, most likely the problem is on the provider’s side.
In this case, you need to find the company’s phone number, which is usually written in the contract, and call and ask about the reasons for the malfunction.
Advice! But don’t immediately rush to dial your provider’s operator; first reboot the router, since technical support will suggest doing just that first.
If the resource has loaded and access to Personal Area received, this will mean that the Internet connection is intentionally limited by the provider, possibly for non-payment.
In the event that the site does not work, you should call the technical support operator.
Operating system settings
If the access points are visible in the system on the laptop, reinstalling the driver will not be required.
When the Wi-Fi adapter is successfully connected to the network, but there is a yellow triangle in the system tray indicating a limited Internet connection, you need to disable the antivirus and Windows firewall, which, if configured incorrectly or malfunctioning, can cause a similar problem.
The best option for checking the functionality of the Internet would be to boot the system on a laptop in safe mode with support for network drivers.
To do this, you will need to go to system settings by pressing the key combination in Windows “Win + R” and run the msconfig request.
After this, the “system configuration” window will open. In it you need to go to the “boot” tab, where you will need to check “safe mode” with the “network” parameter.
If this option allows you to access the Internet, you need to start the laptop in normal mode, removing the previously installed parameters, and then, one by one, disable applications that affect the operation of the network. Most likely, these may be recently installed or updated programs.
You also need to scan your computer for viruses. The best option for this would be the Dr.WebCureIt! For Windows, since it does not require installation, it is free and always contains an up-to-date database.
Setting up the router
If Internet access is not available on several devices, the problem is in the settings of the router, which is distributing the connection incorrectly. This may occur when resetting the settings for the current provider.
To restore them, you will need to open the setup description on the website of the company that provides the Internet. Also, all the necessary parameters for entering into the router are often attached to the contract concluded when connecting services.
If the router was purchased independently of the provider, the instructions for it most likely will not be present on the website. You will need to find it on the equipment manufacturer's website. Also, documentation is always present in the box with the router.
Sequence of actions for making settings on the D-Link DIR-600 router:
- open parameters by entering its IP in the address bar Windows browser or other OS;
- enter your login and password (the default value is admin);
- in the wireless network wizard, configure the name and password of the Wi-FI connection;
Name Wi-Fi networks
- by going to the tab in the lower horizontal menu “Advanced settings”, click on the WAN item located in the network section;
- If there is a connection profile, double-click on it to make settings; if it is missing, add a new one.
- in the window that opens, enter and save the settings that are indicated on the manufacturer’s website.
Also, for this router model, a simpler setup option is available by clicking Click’n’Connect in the main menu. However, it may not work correctly with some providers.
Restricting access on public routers
When you come to some coffee shops and connect your laptop to Wi-FI, you should not run programs to download torrents, since the network automatically turns off and is no longer restored even after rebooting the router, and access will re-open only after a day.
This limitation is set to ensure that visitors do not overload the already poor quality Internet access.
Installed system traffic filtering adds the mac address of your Wi-Fi network adapter on your laptop to the blacklist for a while. But there is still a solution to this problem.
Since we do not have access to the coffee shop equipment, the only option left is to replace the mac address on our equipment.
Changing mac addresses Windows
On most equipment with the Microsoft WIndows operating system, the best option changing the Mac address is editing the registry. Despite the visual complexity, it does not require much time.
Creating a new registry setting
- create a string parameter named NetworkAddress in this folder;
- by double-clicking on it, add the value of the new mac address, represented by 12 hexadecimal digits (for example, “406186E53DE1”);
- Restart Windows to apply the settings.
After this, the adapter will no longer be on the black list, and therefore you will be able to successfully connect to the Internet.
conclusions
There are many problems and solutions for them. Having found out which equipment the malfunction occurred with, it will be possible to find the best way fixes the problem.
Hello.
Without various kinds Windows errors would probably be really boring?!
I don’t have to deal with one of them, and I have to deal with it. The essence of the error is as follows: access to the network is lost and a message appears in the tray next to the clock "Unidentified network without internet access"... Most often it appears when network settings are lost (or changed): for example, when you change settings on your provider or when updating (reinstalling) Windows, etc.
To correct such an error, most often, you just need to correctly set the connection settings (IP, mask and default gateway). But first things first…
By the way, the article is relevant for modern Windows operating systems: 7, 8, 8.1, 10.
How to fix the “Unidentified network without Internet access” error - step-by-step recommendations
Rice. 1 A typical message about such an error...
Have your provider's network access settings changed? This is the first question I recommend asking the provider in cases where you have the day before:
- did not install updates on Windows (and there were no notifications that they were being installed: when restarting Windows);
- did not reinstall Windows;
- did not change network settings (including did not use various “tweakers”);
- did not change the network card or router (including the modem).
1) Checking network connection settings
The fact is that sometimes Windows is not able to correctly determine the IP address (and other parameters) to access the network. As a result, you see a similar error.
Before setting the settings, you need to know:
- IP address of the router, most often it is: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 / password and login admin (but the easiest way to find out is by looking at the manual for the router, or the sticker on the device case (if there is one). Perhaps an article about how to go into the router settings will help:);
- if you don’t have a router, then find the network settings in the agreement with the Internet provider (for some providers, unless you specify the correct IP and subnet mask, the network will not work).
Rice. 2 From the TL-WR841N router setup guide...
Now knowing the IP address of the router, you need to change the settings in Windows.
- To do this, go to Windows control panel, then to the section network and sharing center.
- Next, go to the “ Change adapter settings", then select your adapter from the list (through which the connection is made: if connected via Wi-Fi, then a wireless connection, if a cable connection, then Ethernet) and go to its properties (see Fig. 3).
- In adapter properties go to properties " Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"(see Fig. 3).
Now you need to set the following settings (see Fig. 4):
- IP address: specify the next IP after the router address (for example, if the router has IP 192.168.1.1, then indicate 192.168.1.2, if the router has IP 192.168.0.1, then indicate 192.168.0.2);
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0;
- Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1;
- Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1.
Rice. 4 Properties - Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
After saving the settings, the network should start working. If this does not happen, then most likely there is a problem with the settings of the router (or provider).
2) Setting up the router
2.1) MAC address
Many Internet providers bind to the MAC address (for the purpose of additional protection). If you change the MAC address, you will not be able to connect to the network, and the error discussed in this article is quite possible.
The MAC address changes when you change equipment: for example, network card, router, etc. To avoid guessing, I recommend finding out the MAC address of the old network card through which your Internet worked, and then setting it in the router settings (very often the Internet stops working after installing a new router in the house).
Rice. 5 Setting up a Dlink router: cloning the MAC address
2.2) Configuring initial IP issuance
In the first step of this article, we set the basic connection parameters in Windows. Sometimes, the router may display " wrong IP addresses", which were indicated by us.
If your network still does not work, I recommend going to the router settings and setting up the starting IP address on the local network (of course the one we indicated in the first step of the article).
3) Problems with drivers...
Due to problems with drivers, any errors are possible, including an unidentified network. To check the driver status, I recommend going to device Manager (to launch it, go to the Windows Control Panel, switch the view to small icons and follow the link of the same name).
In Device Manager you need to open the " network adapters» and see if there are any devices with yellow exclamation marks. Update the driver if necessary.
That's all for me. By the way, sometimes such an error occurs due to the inexplicable operation of the router - either it freezes or crashes. Sometimes a simple reboot of the router can easily and quickly fix a similar error with an unknown network.
Best wishes!
An unidentified network without Internet access is an error that is given by operating system Windows when problems occur with . The most common causes of this message may be different problems, connected to the local network and the Internet. In this material we will look at the most likely causes of this problem, and also give some recommendations for eliminating them.
The problem is on the provider's side.
The most common reason for the “Unidentified network without Internet access” error to appear is problems on the ISP side. Therefore, if this problem occurs, do not panic and change all possible settings. This will only make the situation worse.
Instead, call your ISP technical support and report the problem. If the Internet provider confirms that the problems are on their side (for example, engineering works), then you just need to wait until everything works. If the provider reports that everything is fine with them, then you can start looking for the problem yourself.
Router freezes.
Any router can freeze or malfunction and stop serving normally local network. This happens especially often with inexpensive models routers.
Fortunately, this problem can be solved quite simply. You just need . To do this, you need to disconnect the router from the power supply for a few seconds, and then connect it back.
Invalid MAC address.
Quite often, Internet providers use a network card for user authentication. A specific MAC address is associated with a specific user. In this case, if the MAC address is changed, the user’s access to the Internet is limited and he receives the error “unidentified network without access to the Internet.”
Therefore, if you changed the MAC address or connected the Internet cable to another computer (which has a different MAC address), then you need to change the MAC address to the one to which your Account from the Internet provider.
In order to change the MAC address you need to go to the "" section.
After this, a window with connection properties will open. Here we click on the “ Configure” button.
After making all the settings, close all windows by clicking on the “OK” button. After this, the MAC address should change. If this was the problem, then the Internet should work.
Incorrect connection settings.
Another one possible reason The error “Unidentified network without Internet access” occurs due to incorrect connection settings. Most Internet providers use automatic delivery. Therefore, if you enable manual configuration of IP addresses and specify them incorrectly, the Internet will not work. Instead, you got an unidentified network with no Internet access.
In order to fix this problem you need to open the Control Panel and go to the " Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center" Here you need to click on the link “ LAN connection».
After this, a window with connection properties will open. Here you need to highlight the item “ Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click on the " Properties " button.
In the window that opens, you need to select the items “ Obtain an IP address automatically" And " Obtain DNS server address automatically».
After enabling these functions, you need to close all windows by clicking on the “OK” button. If this was the problem, then the Internet should work.
Incorrect router settings.
If your computer is connected to the Internet via , then the reason for messages about an unidentified network without Internet access may be incorrect settings on the router. In this case, you need to configure the router correctly. If you have difficulties setting up your router, consult your technical support your Internet provider. Perhaps your provider provides services for setting up routers. As a temporary solution to this problem, you can connect the Internet directly to your computer.
Again I want to try to answer Daniel.
Daniel, I have installed the “N Series Multifunctional Wireless Router” TP-LINK TL-WR842N.
I purchased and installed it when I was tired of “fiddling” with wires that were constantly getting in the way under my feet and not only for that reason.
Long before buying a router, I bought three “Wireless USB Network Adapters” TL-WN823N for my three desktop computers
and distributed WI-FI internet from your “main” (most powerful) computer, to which a high-speed Internet cable was connected. All traffic went through my computer, which entailed inconvenience - when I turned off my computer, I cut off Internet access to other family members and the load on my processor was noticeable.
By purchasing a router, I received a device that provides all my devices (personal devices, laptop, tablet and two smartphones) with equal and balanced speed access to the Internet.
Following the instructions in the "Guide to quick setup» router, I created my own wireless network, with your password (not to be confused with the password for accessing a high-speed wired connection).
It is important here that the router connects to the Internet automatically, which is indicated by green lights. If the large light bulb (LED) glows green, it means the router has connected to the Internet and is ready to distribute the Internet; if it lights up yellow, then something is wrong with the connection to Internet provider via cable (possibly not configured correctly).
Connecting to the Wi-Fi network we created is the same for both a laptop and a phone - look at the list of available wireless connections, select the network with the name that we entered when setting up the router, and click “connect.” When you connect for the first time, the system will require you to enter a password - enter the password, again, the password that we “hammered” into the router during setup (but this is not the password for the high-speed connection, you can forget that password, the router will always remember it).
Now about what all the fuss is about. As I understand, you decided to connect your computer to the router using a wire, and other devices using Wi-Fi. I didn’t try it, but immediately hung the router in the far corner and haven’t touched it since. I don’t remember why I didn’t try the way you are trying to connect, or maybe I even tried, but I can assume that it won’t work just like that, “from a running start.” Recently I read articles on the Internet, looking for an answer to the question of how to expand the Wi-Fi coverage area. So - it's not that simple. It is necessary to organize several networks and hierarchical dependence of devices (the required number of routers).
From the description of the TP-LINK router it does not at all follow that those four yellow connectors are an analogue of a HUB, designed to connect several computers to the Internet as if they were part of a Wi-Fi network, and they are not repeaters or branchers of the wired Internet. It's still called a wireless router.....
I managed to find a description of the router on the Internet in Russian and with pictures:
img.mvideo.ru/ins/50041572.pdf
Perhaps you will be able to learn something and I would be grateful if you later share the solution you found (if you find it).
But I wouldn’t suffer for a long time and would buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter….
