The network is not identified. Unidentified network without internet access. You have a direct connection to your provider

In the PC IP address text field, you need to set the address of the router (router).

In the “Default gateway”, “DNS server” text field, enter the router’s internet protocol address (the same IP address of the router). At the end of everything, we confirm our actions by clicking on the “Ok” button.

Second way.

We need to go to the router settings interface and set the range of IP addresses assigned by the router automatically. Make sure that it does not include the PC IP address that we specified manually.

Type URL – 192.168.1.1 in your browser, log in and the router’s admin panel will open in front of you.

There we need to find “Local Network” and go into the DHPC server settings.

In the “Starting address of the IP address pool” item, enter an arbitrary address that follows the PC address that we set manually (192.168.1.2). Finally, click on the “Apply” button.

I entered the following numbers - 192.168.1.5. Now the router automatically sets addresses for each device, starting with it.

If you do not know the IP address of the router, then take a look at it. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates at the bottom all the data about the device, including the IP address.

If you encounter the designation networks “without access to the Internet” - this means that your network does not receive packets from the outside. The question arises, what to do and how to fix this problem? There is no universal solution; you will have to try each of the presented methods until the cause is determined and the unidentified network is eliminated.

Possible problems with the provider

The first step in these situations is to call your service provider to find out if you have Internet access. The provider may be undergoing technical work or an unexpected breakdown may occur. To avoid messing with the settings in vain, find out the involvement of the supplier.

Call the company's call center, look at the official website or page in social networks. As a rule, they write about current problems there. If information is missing, look at comments from other users. You may not be the only one who has encountered the problem that your computer does not connect to the network. You won’t be able to solve problems with your provider, so you can only wait.

Problems with the cable or connector

Next, inspect the LAN cable. Make sure the plugs are in good condition and not physically damaged. Inspect the wire insulation and check for kinks. You can try replacing the LAN cable connecting the router and computer. If a direct connection is used, then go beyond the partition and onto the platform, checking the entire length of the wire. If you find any damage, of course, immediately call the online managers. They should send a technician to replace the network cable.

Options for router problems

The second most common source of the “no network access” message is your router. The list of common problems includes:

• choosing the wrong connection type;
• specifying incorrect IP address or login password data (when using ADSL, L2PT or similar connections);
• there are any restrictions in the settings;
• hardware problem (capacitor swollen or boards burnt out).

In the latter case, you only need the help of specialists or the purchase of a new modem. All software flaws can be eliminated independently, provided that the correct actions are performed.

When your computer does not have Internet access, reboot your router and PC. During operation of devices, minor failures may occur that are not critical. Rebooting resolves these issues. On your computer, just press the button that is responsible for this function or select the corresponding menu item in the “Start” section.

With a modem, everything is simpler: press the Power button to turn it off, and then turn the device on again. If there is no such key, simply unplug the power supply from the outlet.

Settings in the web interface

Setting the wrong parameters in the modem results in a network without Internet access. The solution is quite simple: go to the web interface and set the correct parameters. Below we will describe these steps in detail.

How to log into the web interface?

Connect to the modem via LAN cable directly. To enter the system menu, you need to find out the authorization data (login, password and address to which the transition will be made). You can find this data on a label glued to the device body. The fields are called IP Address, Username and Password. On some models they are translated into Russian.

Logging in takes a couple of steps:

1. Open your browser on your PC ( Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera or standard). Write the IP address to log in in the address bar and press Enter.
2. On the authorization page, fill in the fields (the first is the username, and the second is the password). Click "Login".

You have to get on home page router settings.

Checking Internet connection settings

Most routers allow multiple connection types. Each of them requires its own parameters:

Problems on PC or laptop

Try connecting the router to other devices, such as a laptop. Correct operation and the absence of the “no Internet access” error indicates problems in the personal computer/laptop that is used to access the Internet.

Diagnosis of problems

Operating Windows systems have standard means Troubleshooting They are not always able to restore access, but often cope with connection problems local network. To start the procedure, follow the instructions:

If no faults are found, run additional items (“Homegroup” and “Network adapter”). The system will analyze other parameters and possibly find faults there.

Setting up IPV4

Despite the global transition to IP version 6, classic IPV4 is shared, so incorrectly setting addresses can lead to access errors. You can configure the protocol through the operating system interface:

You can also request addresses from your provider. When using a static connection, you often need to set parameters in the OS itself.

Reinstalling the network card driver

For the correct operation of the hardware in the system, a special driver (specialized software) is used. After Windows installations Through its database it tries to find drivers in order to install them independently, but not always successfully. The software versions included on the disk are usually outdated, so we recommend updating the driver via the Internet.

The first and most reliable method is to download necessary software from the manufacturer's website. Find the “Drivers/Utilities” or “Support” section, select your network card model and OS version. Then download the installer, and then simply run it on your computer.

An alternative, but less effective option is to update through standard operating system functions:

1. Right-click on the “My Computer” icon. Select the "Properties" line.
2. On the left side of the window, click on “Device Manager”.
3. Find your network adapter. Click on it with RMB and “Update drivers”.

You can also find specialized utilities created to search for the latest versions of drivers for any hardware. A popular software is Driver Genius. The user only needs to start the scan. The utility will find all components that need updating. The functionality allows you to update only selected system elements. The software is supplied in Russian.

Changing the MAC address of the network card

Some Internet providers use a connection bound to a MAC address. This is a unique identifier that is assigned to any network equipment. At the hardware level, an ordinary user will not be able to change the MAC address, since this requires programmers. However, you can change it at the software level, which is enough to connect to the network.

The change is carried out according to the following instructions:

Please note that the MAC address consists of 12 digits in hexadecimal notation. To check the correctness of the change, enter the command ipconfig /all in the console.

There is a second method of changing through the registry. You need to follow the path of the network card, and for the corresponding component change the value in the NetworkAdress field.

Firewall check

The problem why the Internet is not yet available may be due to the firewall. This is a built-in defender in Windows that blocks unwanted connections. If your system has an antivirus, you can safely disable it:

Clearing the DNS cache and resetting TCP/IP protocol settings

Errors may occur in files related to the TCP or DNS stack. It is recommended to reset the cache for these components:

Enabling FIPS Compliance Mode

In some cases, on OS Windows 7 or later, you will have to activate the compatibility mode with federal FIPS standards:

• Go to the “Status” of the adapter. Click the Wireless Properties button.
• Next, go to “Advanced Settings”. Check the box next to “Enable compatibility mode...”.

If this feature is enabled, try disabling it.

If the cable goes to the PC directly (without a router)

When connecting the Internet directly to a computer, all methods are relevant except for the section on setting up a router due to the absence of the latter. We also recommend that you re-create the connection using the “Create a new connection” item.

I have access to the Internet, but the error does not go away

The reason for this situation is often a connection through a proxy server. You need to get into the local editor group policies. Click “Run” through Start, and then enter the command shown in the image.

After that, activate the “Disable active probing for the network connection status indicator” option. In Windows 10, this option is called differently (“Disable active health checks” network connections"). At the same time, remember that in case of real problems with access information messages will not appear.

These are all current methods on how to get rid of an unidentified network. If you are a beginner and have no experience setting up a router or operating systems, we recommend that you consult a specialist. Unprofessional intervention can only worsen the situation.

Sometimes there may be no Internet connection and the following message is displayed in the tray: “ Unidentified network without access to the Internet." The problem can occur for various reasons. The article below details what you need to do to fix such problems.

Very often this happens when the PC owner configures access to the Network or Wi-Fi router, and everything is reset. The incident is blamed on the Internet service provider or the personal computer, for example, when reinstalling Windows.

It looks like this. There is no Internet connection, sites do not load normally. In the lower right corner, near the time, a yellow icon is displayed, and there is an exclamation mark inside it. By clicking on the icon, the text of the message will appear. When Internet access is configured through a router, the text of the message will be slightly different: “No Internet connection, protected.”

Note! There are many reasons for this problem. And not every one of them can be eliminated easily and in a few minutes, but it’s worth a try.

Reasons for the message

To understand the origin of this problem, you need to check and find out whether other devices can work through the router. If home network It functions properly on another PC, which means the problem is not with the provider. If not, then there are two possible scenarios:

• there is a “No Internet access” alert, the unidentified network is not in the list of connections;
• the notification is displayed in full.

Note! The first option indicates that the problem arose due to the Internet service provider, the second indicates problems with the router.

If the problem is caused internally, you can try the following:

• Reboot the device that issues this alert. This should be a restart, and not turning off the device completely and turning the device on again.
• The router needs to be rebooted if it is used to search for a network. To do this, it is recommended to disconnect it from the network, wait about 10 seconds, then connect it again.
• The device may stop connecting to the network after such manipulations as updating the system, resetting and reinstalling while saving data, or setting up a new antivirus program downloaded from an unknown source have been carried out. Then you can try turning it off for a while. The same situation may appear when using third-party VPN programs. But then you will need to remove them for a while to check if this is the reason.

Below is information about the reasons for the appearance of an unidentified network without access to the Internet in Win 7 and what to do about the problems. But it will be difficult for a beginner to correct situations without knowing additional information and skills, but you can try.

Troubleshooting if the connection is made directly

There are several options for what to do with the “Unidentified network without Internet access” error for Windows 7.

Invalid IPv4 protocol values

In this case, the network address cannot be obtained from the system type, since it is specified incorrectly.

Note! As a rule, this is accompanied by a suspiciously long identification time during the next connection to the Internet. At the same time, the PC owner could not change the data in the settings of his device. A malicious program can restrict access to the Internet.

To get everything right, you need:

1. Go to the “Control Panel” section, then to the “Network and Sharing Center” item, where you find the “Change adapter settings” button and click on it.
2. Then you should find “Unidentified network” among the proposed connections and click the mouse. Select “Properties” from the drop-down menu.
3. There, click on the “Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4” section, where just below click on the “Properties” menu.
4. All that remains is to check the status of receiving automatic IP and DNS server addresses (but only if the network is not corporate), it should be active. Or analyze the correct configurations if the connection occurs through a router and the provider requires you to specify them.

Note! You can also try manually setting other settings. For example, change the IP type by changing the last digit. However, numbers close to one are not recommended. It is important to enter the router address in the default gateway field, and specify Google DNS addresses with the addresses of the DNS servers. The preferred DNS server is 8.8.8.8, the alternative is 8.8.4.4. It is also advisable to clear the DNS cache.

When something changes, you will need to click on “Save”. If this was the cause of the problem, Internet access should resume.

TCP/IP problem

A problem in TCP/IP means that there is a software problem in the Internet protocol. To eliminate them, you can reset the TCP/IP settings.

To do this you should:

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator. To carry out these actions, select the “Start” button and enter “ Command line", right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".
2. Enter the text there: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt and press the Enter key.

There is another way - to enter the commands presented below sequentially:

• Netsh int ip reset;
• Ipconfig /release;
• Ipconfig /renew.

The reason is DHCP

The Internet may disappear for this reason when the Internet connection cable is used for the first time. This is due to the fact that the PC cannot obtain a network address.

Note! To solve this problem, you need to set the Network Address for the network adapter you are using.

1. Open the “Network Adapters” folder, select the “Properties” tab for that network Wi-Fi adapter or map, which is usually used by clicking on its icon with the mouse.
2. Select the “Advanced” tab.
3. Find the “Network Address” (it can be represented as Network Address), where you should specify a 12-bit number. In this case, you can use any numbers and letters of the English alphabet from A to F.
4. Confirm the changes by clicking OK.
5. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

At the end, all that remains is to write on the command line:

• Ipconfig /release;
• Ipconfig /renew.

Solutionproblems connecting via router

The three most common causes of problems in the Network configured through a router.

Provider's fault

Perhaps, most often an unidentified network appears precisely because of incorrect operation of the provider. In this case, the user usually did nothing the day before: the settings were not changed, the drivers were not updated, and Windows was not reinstalled. Just five minutes ago everything was working and suddenly it stopped.

Note! There is only one solution to the problem - wait for everything to work itself out. But it is important to make sure that the failure is on the provider’s side.

To do this you should:

• call the provider's hotline;
• try connecting another computer, laptop or netbook to the cable. If the provider is to blame, then the network will not work on any of the devices.

When the local Ethernet connection is not configured correctly

In this case you need:

1. Visit the “Control Panel” section by clicking “Start”.
2. Find “Network and Sharing Center”.
3. After that, click “Change adapter settings.”
4. Select the required local network connection and open the “Properties” tab.
5. In the menu that appears on the screen, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4”.

What exactly needs to be changed there was discussed above in the section “Incorrect IPv4 protocol parameters”.

The drivers for the network card have crashed

It often happens that an unidentified network appears after Windows reinstallation. This applies in particular to laptops. At the same time, the device manager displays information that all the necessary drivers are already installed, but there is still no access to the Internet. Then you need to download the drivers from the official source - the website of the company that manufactured the laptop or motherboard, or the network or wireless adapter company.

Important! These drivers need to be installed manually, although Device Manager shows that they do not require updating.

Thus, the reasons for the appearance of a message about an unidentified network without access to the Internet, as well as ways to eliminate them, may be different. One of them should definitely help. The main thing is to thoroughly understand everything.

If devices connect to the Wi-Fi network, but the Internet does not work, you need to determine the reason. The problem may be in the Internet connection itself, in the router or laptop (or other connected gadget).

First you should check if the Internet is working at all. To do this, the network cable is connected directly to the computer. If the Internet connection does not appear, you should contact your provider. Otherwise, check the settings of the router and devices connected to the wireless network.

To understand that the problem is not in a specific laptop or other connected gadget of the user, you need to connect other devices to the router, such as a phone, tablet, etc. If other devices find Wi-Fi, but after connecting the network without access to the Internet (this is indicated on a laptop), sites do not load, then the problem lies in incorrect router settings. If the connection is successful on other gadgets and the sites load, then the problem is in the connection of a specific device.

How to solve a problem with a laptop, smartphone, tablet.

If only one device says “Unidentified network, without Internet access,” you need to double-check the wireless connection settings to the network. When setting up the router, the user could accidentally change the connection data. You can check that the settings on your laptop or computer are correct as follows:

1. You need to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

2. Go to the Network and Sharing Center.

3. In the open window, in the panel on the right, click “Change adapter settings.”

4. In the open window, right-click “Wireless Network Connection” and select “Properties”.

5. In a new window, select “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” from the list and click “Properties”.

6. In a new window, see if the “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS servers automatically” items are selected. If necessary, mark them and click OK.

7. Reboot the OS. After rebooting, the Internet connection should appear. If the network, as before, does not have access to the Internet, the connection may be blocked by antivirus programs or firewalls. Then you should turn them off.

How to solve a problem with a router.

Before setting up your router, you must first return to factory settings. To do this, press the button on the back panel of the router and hold it for 10 seconds. After this you need to go to the admin panel. To do this, enter the following address in any Internet browser: http:// or http:// (TP-link, Dlink). In the window that appears, enter your username and password to log in, usually admin and admin. To fix the router, you will need the WAN tab. Here you set up an Internet connection that connects to the router. SND providers use Dynamic IP, Static IP, L2TP, PPPoE, PPTP connections.

For example, Kyivstar uses Dynamic IP; the corresponding settings are set in the WAN section of this provider. If the provider uses a different connection, for example, Static IP, then the setting with Dynamic IP will not work; the router will not connect to the Internet in this case. To set the correct settings, you need to find out exactly what connection technology the provider uses. This information can be checked with the provider itself or viewed on the Internet.

Sometimes providers create a binding to the MAC address, which can also affect the operation of the router. In this case, you need to connect the router via cable to a computer whose MAC address is registered with the provider, find the MAC Clone tab, click Clone MAC Address, and then Save.Update.

There are also situations of the following nature. The user decided to change the Windows 8 OS to the Windows 7 OS. Before the reinstallation, everything worked fine, but then problems began with connecting to the wireless network, the message “Unidentified network” appeared, that is, the Internet stopped working. To solve this problem, you need to go to the Network and Sharing Center, select Manage wireless networks.

Right-click on the network that you cannot connect to and select Properties. In the Security tab, click on the Advanced settings section. In the menu, check the Enable Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) compatibility mode for this network. This update should help resolve the connection issue.

Hello, friends. And again I will write about wireless Wi-Fi networks and router configuration. The article about this raised a lot of questions. And as a rule, these are questions like: everything works, but Wi-Fi network without access to the Internet, or the Internet works via cable, but not via Wi-Fi. Well something like that.

Today, I decided to deal with this problem, I understand why such problems can arise.

Here are a few more questions from the article about setting up the TP-Link TL-WR841N router:

Or, Oleg asked the following question:

Hello, here’s the problem: everything is connected to Wi-Fi, you can connect to it both from the computer that distributes it, and from other devices, it sees it and connects, but without Internet access, write in a PM or here I will be very grateful, I’ve been suffering for days but nothing. Help.

So I decided to delve into this topic. Oleg has already configured everything, and everything works for him, but first things first.

I think the problem that we will now solve is clear, and it’s the same for you: after setting up a Wi-Fi router, the Internet via Wi-Fi does not work, or only works via a cable from the router, or does not work at all through the router. We will consider this issue using routers from TP-Link as an example, although I have a specific model TP-Link TL-WR841N, but still, I think that they are not very different in configuration. In principle, if you have some other router, then read it anyway, it might come in handy.

Wi-Fi network without Internet access. What to do?

If a problem has already occurred that the device connects to the Wi-Fi network, but the sites do not open, then first of all we need to find what’s wrong. On the Internet itself, on a router, or on a laptop, tablet and phone.

Checking the Internet connection without a router

Let's go in order. First, we check whether the Internet is working, otherwise you never know. To do this, simply connect the network cable directly to the computer, without a router. If the Internet works fine, then everything is fine, let's move on. If not, then solve this problem with your provider.

If everything is fine with the Internet, then there is a problem either with the router, or with the laptop, or other device that you want to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

We find out whether the problem is in the router or laptop.

To do this, just try to connect not only one laptop to your router, but also a phone, tablet, or another laptop. If all devices find your Wi-Fi network, but when connected it will not have access to the Internet (this connection status can be seen on the laptop), or sites simply won’t open, then the problem is in the Wi-Fi router settings.

Well, if, for example, the Internet via Wi-Fi does not work on only one laptop, but other devices connect and open websites, then the problem is in the laptop (not necessarily a laptop, it could be ).

I hope you managed to find out what the problem is, in the router or in the laptop. And now we will look at how to solve, or at least try to solve, this or that case.

If the problem is with the laptop

If it turns out that you have a problem with your laptop and the network without the Internet is only on it, then you need to check the settings of the wireless network connection. Perhaps during the process of setting up the router, you changed some settings on the laptop, or you previously set up some other network. Personally, on my laptop with Windows 7, there are parameters by which the laptop automatically receives an IP address and DNS server from the router.

Everything works for me with these settings, my router is configured as written in the article. In order to check whether your wireless connection on your laptop is configured correctly, do this:

Connect to your network, the laptop should connect, but the notification bar icon that shows Wi-Fi will have a yellow triangle, meaning no internet access. Like this:

Then, in a new window, on the right, click on "Change adapter settings".

A window will open in which you need to select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click the “Properties” button.

Another window will open in which you need to make sure that the items are checked and “Obtain DNS servers automatically”. If not, then mark these values ​​and click “Ok”.

Restart your laptop, and if your Wi-Fi router is configured correctly (and, as we found out above, it is configured correctly), then the Wi-Fi network on the laptop should work and the sites should open.

Another important point: very often the connection can be blocked by antiviruses and firewalls, so try disabling them.

Update! I wrote a detailed article in which I separately discussed the main problems with connecting a laptop to Wi-Fi -

If the problem is with the Wi-Fi router

Before you start setting up your router, it is advisable to reset the settings to factory settings. To do this, press with something sharp and hold the small button on the back panel of the router for 10 seconds (more details in the article). Then you can configure the router as written in the article on setting up TP-Link TL-WR841N (link is above).

In solving a problem with a network without Internet access, we are only interested in the tab WAN. In this section, we configure the Internet connection that we connect to the router, setting up the provider, so to speak.

And if your provider uses a different connection technology, for example Static IP, PPPoE, or PPTP, then setting up with Dynamic IP, like mine, will not work for you. Because the router simply cannot connect to the Internet, it creates a network, but there is no Internet. And exactly The whole problem is in these settings.

For example, we can consider the problem that Oleg had, which I wrote about at the beginning of the article. He has a Beeline provider, in the settings on the WAN tab, opposite WAN Connection Type: he chose Dynamic IP and therefore his Internet did not work.

After I started to figure out what the problem was, it turned out that Beeline uses L2TP/Russian L2TP technology. After Oleg installed L2TP/Russian L2TP opposite WAN Connection Type, entered his username and password, and made other settings, everything worked. This is what the router settings for Beeline look like:

As you already understand, this problem is solved very simply. You need to call your provider, or look on the Internet what connection method he uses to connect. And based on the information you receive from your provider, you need to configure the router, or rather the WAN tab. Here is another forum address http://forum.tp-linkru.com/viewtopic.php?p=253#p253 where it is written how to configure TP-Link routers for some Russian providers, such as Beeline\Corbina, NetByNet, QWERTY, Dom.ru, 2KOM, etc.

If the provider binds to the MAC address

And further about binding to MAC address. Some providers do this, and it can interfere with setting up your router. Therefore, you need to connect the router via a network cable to a computer whose MAC address is registered with the provider, go to the MAC Clone tab in the router settings And click on the Clone MAC Address button, click Save.

Update

They shared with me one solution that helped overcome this problem when connecting via Wi-Fi. The person had Windows 8 and everything worked fine. But he decided to install Windows 7 and after that the problems started. The laptop connected to the wireless network, but “Without access to the Internet.” All the advice didn’t help, but this is what did:

Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center. Then, on the left select Wireless Network Management.

Right-click on the network that is having trouble connecting to it. Select properties.

Go to the tab Safety, then click on the button Extra options. Check the box next to Enable Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) compliance mode for this network

I hope that I was able to clearly and step-by-step describe what could cause a problem when the network works through a router, but without access to the Internet. And how to solve this problem. Perhaps I didn’t write about something, so I ask you to fill me in in the comments. After all, it is impossible to write about all the ways to solve this problem, because there can be a lot of reasons for its occurrence. Good luck friends!
