Question

What do I do if I have done everything on the list, but when I open my browser, it still says DNS cannot be found?

Community Answer

Wait. Your internet provider is most likely having some trouble and their DNS server will not be available until they fix it themselves. If you want to verify this, or find out when the problem will be solved, call them.

Question

My WiFi is not working on my laptop but still works on my phone. How do I resolve this?

Community Answer

These are the steps I have taken to resolve this issue. 1. Connected my laptop to the router with RJ45 cable, and tested a website -- works fine. 2. Removed the cable and tried wireless -- Error. 3. Deleted the wireless profile from my laptop (Network and Sharing Center --> Manage wireless Network --> select the network --> Remove). 4. Wireless network connection and select the wireless --> Enter the wireless password.

Try accessing the Common Prompt menu: type "cmd" to call out the Common Prompt menu at Run / Search. Then, key in "ipconfig" at the Common Prompt screen and press the "Enter" key. Your IP numbers will show as xxx.xxxx.xx.xx.

Question

I can use WiFi just fine, but I when I use an Ethernet cord, my computer keeps jumping from WiFi to Ethernet. What should I do?

Community Answer

First, disable the WiFi adapter while using/troubleshooting the (wired) Ethernet adapter. If that doesn't help, then try a few different Ethernet cords before changing any network settings. Used sparingly, System Restore is your friend.
