Could it be the weather? Sometimes--if everything checks out--it can be that. I should know: I live in the Northwest and internet disruptions are very common here because of the weather.
wow, loser answer Mrs. Ed. besides, first determine you have information superhighway coming to the cable you're plugging into your router. in case you do, then you definately're the two doing something incorrect with the router setup, or it could be greater complicated than that. in case you have a DSL modem, it needs to be in bypass via or bridge mode. that way the router can assign IP addresses because it pleases without conflict. and you're able to use an Ethernet cable. it somewhat is the only element which will paintings.
This will depend on weather your modem is connected via USB or Ethernet. I would first unplug your modem for 10-15 seconds, and plug back in, and restart your machine. If still no connection, check how your modem is plugged in. --USB: right click on 'My Computer' and go to the 'Manage tab. Open the tab labled 'Device Manager' and look to see if a modem is installed. If not, reinstall drivers, Reboot modem, and then reboot computer. --Ethernet: The first fix should have taken care of the problem. If not, you may have a defective ethernet cable. These can be easily replaced for usually $1 - $5. If you want to see if you are connecting to your modem, but not the internet, you may open up a browser and type in 192.168.100.1 and this will bring up the software inside your modem. (obviously if this opens, then you DO have connectivity with your modem) If you have connectivity with your modem, but not the internet, call your ISP. They're usually idiots, but its generally a problem on they're end.
