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
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?
I see
if i skip this step, it gives up
First all all, please unplug all cords from your modem and router for 2-3 minutes. Give it a time to restart
everything is wireless. i can turn off the computer, will that do?
i have turned it off
I see. It is needed to restart router and computer
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?

It is a standard step of the regular procedure in your case.
i will do this, thanks. talk to you soon, or not, if it works.
Alright, thank you for understanding. I will be waiting
This fix actually worked, after I re-started my computer a couple of times. Thanks for your help, and I will remember how to do this the next time.
