Thanks
Select the Start button > Settings > Network & Internet > Status. Under Change your network settings, select Network troubleshooter.
Let me know what will arise on the screen

Customer Replay

the troubleshooter wants me to plug in an ethernet cable -- but the system i have been using is wireless, do you want me to do this anyway?

Jolene Haston

I see

Customer Replay

if i skip this step, it gives up

Jolene Haston

First all all, please unplug all cords from your modem and router for 2-3 minutes. Give it a time to restart

Customer Replay

everything is wireless. i can turn off the computer, will that do?
i have turned it off

Jolene Haston

I see. It is needed to restart router and computer

Customer Replay

if i turn off the router all my devices will turn off, including the one I am talking to you on -- is this what you want? so i should just start a new chat if this doesn't work?
