Wifi, but no internet

Good question on my YouTube channel this morning.

I can see I have a wifi connection, but I can't get to the internet.


Just because you have wifi, doesn't mean you have internet.  Wifi only carries the Local Area Network connection.

  Here's a quick way to tell.
1.  If you have a Windows machine open a CMD prompt (search CMD, then open).   Try the command PING 8.8.8.8.   If you get Replies then you have an internet connection.    If you get request timed-out, then the while you may have a network signal,  but it's not getting an Internet connection.
2. Next check for DNS -  Try the command PING yahoo.com - If you see replies, then you have DNS .   However, if you see something else like "could not resolve" or "requests timed out".  DNS may be the issue.   You'll need to work with a support person to get your DNS straightened out.
