Howdy folks!
Guessing this is the right place for a network of one, basically.
So I had WiFi fine, and suddenly don't have it, along with no internet.
This has been intermittent for a while, and usually unplugging every thing and reconnecting has worked.
With Windows 10 I usually just follow the steps by Windows when reconnecting and has worked to restore Internet and WiFi.
Sometimes Windows will go through an automatic reset during that time, not sure what it's doing, but it worked.
So - symptoms and config:
Direct cable from ISP to cable modem,
wired modem to Belkin router,
wired router to computer.
Been working fine, nothing has been touched, no virus nor malware detected, just lost the internet, suddenly.
If I bypass the router, go through cable modem only, Internet's there.
If I use the router, shows I do have a secured WiFi connect, but no Internet.
I been through several Windows "Trouble Shooter" themes to no avail.
Oh, I should mention that sometimes, not all the time, when the router is connected I see one of the errors is "No valid IP address" regarding internet connect.
Is that older router going bad, or is my wiring wrong?
