Cannot Connect To The Internet

18 Jan

Problems/symptoms:
1. I am unable to connect to the internet.
-The task bar displays a yellow shield with an exclamation point mark on the internet connectivity symbol.

Solution:
-Sometimes, simply, resettingĀ the router and the modem will fix the problem which was what I needed to do in my particular situation.

 

When my internet was not working correctly, I would get “This webpage is not available” from chrome.

After powering down the router and modem, and powering them back up, the internet started to function again.
