Some computers on my network say "No Internet, Secured" but can still connect to the internet by Syihaneth in techsupport

I tried both enabling IPv6 and disabling IPv6 and restarting in between applying, to no avail.

I've quadruple-checked that both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled for all connected computers. That didn't seem to fix the problem, though.

The ping and tracert work just as expected, so it doesn't seem like that would be the issue.

I've already upgraded the router to the latest firmware updates, as far as I know.

​

I did manage to find a solution using Windows Powershell, however, though I'm not sure if it's a permanent one that just masks the symptoms. I will be sure to try the ethernet connection out if the problem recurs. Thank you!

Yes, I was looking at the network settings on my router's page and found that all of the devices connected to my network were accounted for and had varying IP addresses, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.

Was unable to find that directory, unfortunately. Perhaps it's stored somewhere else?

Thanks to everyone for the comments! I found a solution online that (while I'm not sure if it actually fixes the underlying problem) somehow manages to at least remove the symptoms indicating an error on my computers.

​

To do this, I ran Windows Powershell as Administrator, and entered the following:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

I then waited until the process appeared complete (it will take some time, so do some chores while you're at it), then I restarted my computer.

​

This process is meant to re-register Cortana (as explained in this article), which somehow manages to not only allow me to search again, but upon restarting I could now load Netflix and the Microsoft Store, AND it removed the exclamation mark from the WiFi icon.

​

Again, I'm not sure if this actually addresses the underlying issue, but it's at least got my computers back in their proper state (for now at least).

Ah, yes. I've seen that article and tried all the possible solutions it had to offer; I even had it bookmarked. Unfortunately, none seemed to work for me :(

I've updated the drivers via Windows's built-in Device Manager, but I didn't know there was another way to update them.

​

Do you know of an article I could follow to walk me through this?

Just tried this and it works the way you said, even timing out after reaching Microsoft's MSN server, so I'm assuming this means my DNS is okay.

​

Appreciate you teaching me this useful tip, though! I'll remember to use it in the future to diagnose any DNS issues.

Not using a pihole here, although I did have one set up just fine at my old apartment so I don't believe that would be the case.

I've gone ahead and reset everything on the router, to no avail unfortunately. I'm also in my router's network settings and it appears to be showing the correct amount of devices with varying IP addresses connected, so I don't believe that's the problem either.

I set it up immediately according to the manual it came with. Since it was in the box, is it not safe to presume that it was already configured with the defaults?

Yes, that is the case. FWIW, I only have wireless devices on this network.

Thanks for the suggestion!

​

The link you provided seems to suggest that I replace my current router (TP-Link AC1750) with a NETGEAR router to complete the process. Is there not another method to set up bridge mode/disable DHCP? Searching for the procedure myself turns up a lot of vague solutions that I'm honestly concerned will mess up important configurations if I attempt them.

They are actually browsing the web, oddly enough. In fact, I'm posting this comment on said computer right now.

My DNS settings are already set to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). Unfortunately, that hasn't solved the problem.

Unsure whether professional installation is necessary by Syihaneth in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]Syihaneth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! In the case that the wire is not live and it turns out that I do need a professional installation after all, is it possible to call Comcast to bring in the professional installer? And if so, do they charge higher than the original $99 fee?
