Wifi connected but no internet

[Paulsteed]

Hello

Long story but here goes - hope someone can help.

I was trying to install software today on my laptop and a dll file was missing. All the advice i found said one of the things to check was that all drivers were up to date. I have spent this evening checking all drivers and updated where necessary. One required me to restart my lap top which i did.

When the laptop was signed back in, I kept getting "No Internet, secured" against my broadband router. I checked phones and Ipad and all are connected fine to the wireless network. I am currently using a wired connection to write this, but i did check and when turning my phone into a hotspot, I was able to connect my laptop to that.

Here are the necessary bits:

Laptop is a HP Pavilion AF284NV

I have done a network reset on my laptop

My router is a Talk Talk DG8041W

Status light is white/blue (however you see it)

Wireless adaptor is an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless - AC3165

We have 2 phones, 2 Ipads, 1 TV and 1 Xbox all showing a connection and working on wifi.

As my laptop has restarted, I can't even roll back the driver. Please can someone help shed some light on what could be wrong.

Many thanks

**** Update****

30 minutes after posting the above, my wifi has started to work. Would still be interested to know if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

Hi @Skynet_TX

Hi @Paulsteed ,

Have you tried deleting / forgetting the wireless network from your laptop, restarting the laptop, and then scanning for and reconnecting to your Wi-Fi network ?
