I've been having a bit of trouble with my new PC. For some reason when I wake it from sleep, it shows a globe icon bottom right, with a disabled sign next to it. When I click on the icon it brings up the wireless networks and shows the network I am attached to as "Secured, not connected".

Is anyone able to help please?

Thank you. I've just tried this and the issue still remains.

Just to ask as you didn't say specifically - can you use the internet when it says "no internet" ? Can you open a browser and open a web page?

Open a command prompt (or PowerShell session) and enter the following commands one after another (allowing each one to complete first), let me know which on is the first to show an error or timed out message. Note: You will need to know the IP address of your router (probably 192.168.1.1)....

1. ping 127.0.0.1
2. ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router address is)
3. ping 64.4.141.247
4. ping uuplus.com

Clearly your router's IP address is not 192.168.1.1, I did say you need to know what that address is. But let's try a different approach then, open a command prompt (or PowerShell session) and enter the command ipconfig /all. You may get a long list of output, you need to scroll through to find the entry for your network adapter. When you find it look for the Default Gateway address, that's your router address. You might want to post the relevant part of the ipconfig /all output here, it will look something like this...

The reason it's important to ping the IP address of your router is so we can see whether the PC has lost contact with the router or not.

You might also try disabling the Windows Fast Startup feature, it's known to cause resume from sleep problems on some boards.

Are you connecting via dhcp?

your subnet doesn’t look right?

what router do you have?

ah, it’s a garbage ipv4 address.

try this in an elevated cmd prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns

DHCP - assuming you mean router supplying IP addresses, yes.

Router - Linksys Velop Mesh

Just tried the ipconfig command you gave - "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache" was the reply.

Not sure what that all means. Nothing seems to have changed yet as far as I can see.

The problem is that on resuming from sleep your DHCP lease isn't being renewed, the Autoconfiguration address you see isnt a 'real' IP address and it won't allow you to connect.

I've no idea why DHCP isnt renewing your lease yet but I'll start looking.

Later Edit: can you please open Device Manager, right-click on your network adapter and select Properties. In the Properties dialog select the Advanced tab and make sure that the ARP Offload feature is Enabled. It's ARP offload that maintains your DHCP lease whilst the PC is sleeping.....

Thank you. Just Googled for fast sart up and found the setting in Control Panel - it was already turned off.

ARP offload setting is also shown as "Enabled".

Can you connect to the Internet and then run that ipconfig command again, posting the results here please? I'd like to see what your DHCP lease time is.

It would be helpful if you could cable attach the PC temporarily to see whether you have the same problem waking from sleep then. That will tell us whether the problem is a WiFi issue or a deeper network issue.

Here you go. Often the only way to get it to connect it to go through the troubleshooter but it doesn't always solve it.

I'll try and rig up the ethernet cable shortly too and see how that performs.

I think it may be a driver issue.

when you’ve got it cabled, go into device manager, find the WiFi adapter, right click and delete including bundled software, then reboot.

windows will find the relevant driver and reinstall.
Then test again on WiFi.
