Why does Wi-Fi say connected but no internet?

Short answer: Test another device to separate a device problem from a network outage.

Try these steps

  1. Try two unrelated websites and another device on the same Wi-Fi.
  2. If all devices fail, check your internet provider’s outage information and the modem/router status lights.
  3. If only one device fails, reconnect Wi-Fi, restart it and use its built-in network troubleshooter.

When to ask for help

For a business network, contact IT before restarting shared equipment or changing network settings.
