    Hi, I have not been able to go anywhere most the day, browser error says no connection but my wifi signal is connected and strong. Tried both chrome and MS edge.

    Rebooted the modem, router, cleaned my cookies, checked all the connections. Checked and I still have 6 gb of data left for this month.

    Any clue?

    Hopefully it is a HW connection issue - that is easier to fix. Unplug every plug between modem and computer , computer and router, router and modem, then replug them all. reboot then reset the router.

    If that doesn't work, did your anti-virus update yesterday (and need to reboot)? I've had times that the security suddenly decided that internet browsing wasn't allowed so turned off service to that (still had email though). This was several years ago so I don't remember exactly how I fixed it, but it was within the software security settings.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!! I have done many of them and will go back through connections again tomorrow. Hughes Tech Support said I need to try it plugged into the modem to eliminate router issues. I will have to dismantle my desk and move my computer (ethernet/modem/sat cords not long enough to reach), big task, but I will try to get it done, I am going into internet withdrawal :eek:. It will work for me for a minute here and there, but not most the time. (Errors out saying webisite is wrong or taking too long to respond) Could be plausible if were not ALL websites I visit.

    I'll update another day:)

    Thanks all :)

    I have to dismantle my pc and move it, then reassemble to the modem/router hardwired for tech support to continue and I have not done that yet :emb: It goes up and down constantly. I think I am starting to see a correlation with the wind and my downtime.

    Sigh, I will get it done eventually.

    All you are the best!

    Sounds like a connection issue outside
