How to Fix “No Internet” Error on Wi-Fi (Even When Connected)

Is your device connected to Wi-Fi but still showing “No Internet”? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. This issue is common in Windows, Android, and even smart TVs. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best ways to fix the 'no internet' Wi-Fi problem in 2025.

🔍 Why Does This Happen?

Even when you're connected to Wi-Fi, you might not have actual internet access due to:

  • IP address conflict or incorrect DNS
  • Router issues
  • Windows network bugs
  • ISP outages

✅ Method 1: Restart Router & Device

  1. Turn off your Wi-Fi router
  2. Restart your laptop/PC or phone
  3. Wait 1 minute → Turn on router again

Sometimes a fresh boot solves temporary glitches.

✅ Method 2: Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi

  1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi
  2. Tap your network → Select “Forget”
  3. Reconnect and enter the password again

This resets the handshake between your device and router.

✅ Method 3: Use Windows Network Troubleshooter

  1. On your PC, open Settings > Network & Internet
  2. Click on Status
  3. Select Network troubleshooter and follow the prompts

This can auto-fix DNS and IP issues.

✅ Method 4: Change DNS Manually (Google DNS)

  1. Go to Control Panel > Network Connections
  2. Right-click Wi-Fi > Properties > Select IPv4
  3. Enter DNS manually:
    Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
    Alternate DNS: 8.8.4.4

✅ Method 5: Reset Network Settings (Last Option)

For Windows:

  1. Go to Settings > Network & Internet
  2. Click Status > Network reset

For Android:

  1. Go to Settings > System > Reset options
  2. Tap Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth

This will erase all saved networks, so reconnect manually after.

💡 Pro Tip: Check Your Internet Provider

If none of the above methods work, the issue might be with your ISP (internet service provider). Use your phone’s mobile data to check their status page or call support.
