Ok so heres the problem...since I havent tried to use my wifi because I had moved to a new place and was using at&t mobile internet card that was working fine. (before the reset the wifi was in tact and worked like cake) when I moved again I attempted to log on to my neighbors router (with permission and the number that is on the router as the web) now heres where the problem comes in...i can connect but with local access only no internet access...i thought maybe it was the wrong passkey at first but every other laptop in this house plus our xbox and even phones can connect but not my laptop I tried my phones hotspot aswell same thing showed up local access only limited connectivity...the signals are there and strong so I tried tethering my phone again shows connected but on the map it shows a green line between my pc and the router or hotspot but a red x between the router or hotspot and the internet
Heres what ive tried
