Wi fi connected without internet access. Wi Fi without internet access - what to do. Video: what to do if the connected Wi-Fi network does not work

On Android smartphones and tablets, there is such a problem when, after connecting to a Wi-Fi network, a message appears with the inscription "The Internet may not be available. Connect to another network." As far as I understand, such a message appears on mobile devices from Samsung. I tested on Samsung Galaxy J5. But models S7, S8, A5 and others also suffer from this problem.

Also, near the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected, the error "The Internet may not be available" appears, and near the Wi-Fi icon you can see a small exclamation mark. It looks like this:

Of course, Wi-Fi internet does not work. There is a Wi-Fi connection, but no Internet access.

This error can appear on a wide variety of devices. And not only on Android, and not only on mobile devices. It just depends on the device manufacturer, operating system, version, etc., the message may be different. That is, the wording simply changes. On computers, for example, this is "No Internet access", or "Restricted".

Now I will try to explain why this is happening, and what can be done to solve this problem on Android devices. Including smartphones from Samsung.

Why is there a Wi-Fi connection on Android without internet access?

I'm pretty sure that in this case the problem is on the side of the access point. It is important to understand here that connecting to a Wi-Fi network does not mean connecting to the Internet. Wi-Fi network maybe without internet access. When, for example, the router is incorrectly configured and cannot connect to the Internet, when the provider has some problems, you did not pay for the Internet, etc.

In this case, it is very easy to check. Connect another device to this Wi-Fi network and check if the Internet is working on it. You can also connect your phone or tablet on which the "Internet may not be available" error appears to another wireless network. Through which there is access to the Internet and you are convinced of this.

Most likely, it turns out that there is no connection on any device. And this means that you need to solve the problem with the access point (router)... If the network is yours, then you can see the second part of the article. But first, just reboot your router.

If it turns out that the problem is only on one Android device, and with different networksthen try the following solutions.

Again I want to try to answer Daniel.

Daniel, I have TP-LINK TL-WR842N "Multifunction Wireless N Router" installed.
I purchased and installed it when I got tired of "messing around" with wires that constantly got in the way under my feet and not only for this reason.
Long before buying a router, I bought three "Wireless USB Network Adapters" TL-WN823N, for my three stationary computers
and distributed WI-FI internet from your "main" (most powerful) computer, to which the cable was connected high speed internet... All traffic went through my computer, which entailed inconvenience - after turning off my computer, I turned off access to the Internet for other family members and the load on my processor was noticeable.
By purchasing a router, I received a device that provides all my devices (personal computers, laptop, tablet and two smartphones) with equal and balanced access to the Internet in speed.
Following the directions in the Router's Quick Setup Guide, I created my own wireless network, with my own password (not to be confused with the high-speed wired password).
Here it is important that the router connects to the Internet automatically, which is signaled with green lights. If a large light bulb (LED) glows green, it means that the router is connected to the Internet and is ready to distribute the Internet, if it lights up yellow, something is wrong with the connection to internet service provider via cable (possibly not configured correctly).
The connection to the Wi-Fi network we created is the same for both the laptop and the phone - we look at the list of available wireless connections, select the network with the name that we entered when setting up the router, click "connect". At the first connection, the system will require you to enter a password - enter the password, again, the password that we “hammered” into the router when setting up (but this is not a password for a high-speed connection, you can forget that password, the router will always remember it).

Now about what all the fuss is for. As I understand it, you decided to connect the computer to the router using a wire, and other devices using Wi-Fi. I did not try, but immediately hung up the router in the far corner and have not touched it since then. I don’t remember why I didn’t try it the way you are trying to connect, or maybe even tried it, but I can assume that just like that, “from a run”, it will not work. I recently read articles on the internet, looking for an answer to the question of how to expand the coverage area of \u200b\u200bWi-Fi. So - it's not so easy. It is necessary to organize several networks and a hierarchical dependence of devices (the required number of routers).
From the description of the TP-LINK router it does not follow at all that those four yellow connectors are analogous to a HUB designed to connect several computers to the Internet as if they are part of the Wi-Fi network, and they are not repeaters or branches wired internet... It's called a wireless router after all ... ..
I managed to find on the Internet a description of the router in Russian and with pictures:
img.mvideo.ru/ins/50041572.pdf
Perhaps you will be able to learn something and I would be grateful if you later share the found solution (if you find it).
And I would not suffer for a long time and would buy a USB Wi-Fi adapter….

Everything is fine, the laptop connects to Wi-Fi, but writes that without Internet access or the network is not recognized in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7? A common problem, and now we will analyze in detail possible solutions. It should be noted here that the main reasons for this situation are errors when setting up a router, a router that is not configured at all, something is wrong with the Internet provider, problems on the connected computer, laptop or other device. All this in order and we will consider.

The very first thing to do, even before checking all the options below, is to go to the router's web interface and see if your provider's connection is connected. If so, there is most likely something wrong with the connected device. If not, there is a problem with the router, wire, Internet. This is not necessarily the case, but it’s better to start there.

Option 1. The Internet does not work with the provider or the router needs to be restarted

You should pay attention to this option if before that you have the same Wi-Fi router everything worked. To get started, try simply unplugging the router and plugging it back in - there is a high chance that everything will work. A wireless router is also a kind of computer, and therefore it may freeze and not behave quite normally.

If rebooting the router did not help, go to the settings of the router (how to do this is described in each instruction for setting up the router on this website, open any one corresponding to your device model) and see the connection status. It is possible that the ISP has a problem with the Internet and you just need to wait until everything is fixed. It may also be that for some reason the settings of the router were reset (this also happens), in which case it will have to be configured again.

Option 2. You have not configured the router

Often you have to deal with the fact that a novice user connected the wires to the router (correctly connected), launched the Internet on a desktop PC - everything works. And it connects from a phone and a tablet - sites do not open, writes on a laptop that without access to the Internet.

Let me explain: the fact is that the router needs to be initially configured, and the fact that the Internet is connected on the computer does not say anything (after setting up the router on the computer, you do not need to start it at all, as this can lead to the problem described in this article). And the phone and laptop will connect to Wi-Fi in any case - to do this, you can simply plug the router into an outlet without connecting wires, that is, this also does not mean anything.

So, if you did not configure the router or configured it according to the instructions in the box, then find the instructions for your provider and model on the Internet (for example, on this site) and configure. If you set it up, do not start the Internet connection on your PC (if you previously launched a separate Beeline icon, Rostelecom, Dom.ru, the Stork program or something like that).

Option 3. There is no Internet on the laptop when connected via Wi-Fi

And now about laptops. It so happens that everything works on other devices, but not on a laptop. The status of the router says that the provider's connection is connected. In this case, first, check the wireless connection settings on your laptop, use it for this, just do all the steps for your Wi-Fi connection.

After that, especially if you have an unidentified network without access to the Internet via Wi-Fi in Windows 10, try removing the existing Wi-Fi drivers on the laptop (those that Windows 10 most likely installed itself) and manually install the Wi-Fi driver from laptop manufacturer's website for your model (not via Update Driver in Device Manager). In general, the same method is suitable for Windows 7 and 8 (8.1) - if you installed some "assemblies" and now the Internet via Wi-Fi works, then it does not or does not work all the time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now I will tell you what to do when there is no Internet via WiFi on the Android phone. Those. the connection to the network itself is there, the wifa icon is active, but it is impossible to access the Internet and messengers (Telegram, Viber, Skype) and other applications (Instagram, VKontakte, etc.) are not connected.

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 9/8/7/6: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Attention! You can ask your question to a specialist at the end of the article.

I will notice! If you are using a public WiFi network or a private corporate network, chances are they may be blocking some social networks and messengers. This is often practiced and you have to come to terms with the situation.

In most cases, restarting the smartphone or router that distributes the wireless network helps. Another reason may be a software error in the phone's operation and incorrect configuration of the router.

No internet due to a failure in Android itself on the phone

Reboot your phone. If a minor system failure was the cause of the problem, restarting the system will fix it.

After restarting when saving the error, you will need to "Forget the network" and then reconnect to it.

Forgetting the network and reconnecting helps eliminate the mismatch between the Wi-Fi settings in the phone and the router.

If removing the network did not help, check the status of the proxy server on your phone. It should be off:

1. Go to the "Wi-Fi" section of the settings and select a network to connect.
2. Check the "Advanced" item ("Advanced settings").
3. Make sure the Proxy Server field is None.

Another reason that the phone does not go online may be the wrong date. To check and change it:

1. Open the settings.
2. Select the "Date and Time" section.
3. Set the time and date manually, or check the "Network date and time" and "Network time zone" boxes.

After setting the correct date, connect to Wi-Fi. If the wireless network really works, you can go online.

Checking for Internet access

Before using your smartphone or router, make sure that everything is in order with the Internet. What could be wrong with him:

• You have not paid, so the provider has suspended Internet access. Make sure there is network access through the wire.
• In the settings of the router, there are restrictions on visiting certain sites or a limit on traffic (a common practice for open networks in public places).
• Problems arose on the provider's side.

After eliminating these factors, proceed to diagnostics to understand which device is hiding the cause of the problem.

The easiest way is to connect to the wireless network from another phone / tablet / laptop. If another device goes online, then the problem is in the phone, which cannot establish a correct connection.

Checking and configuring the router

If, as a result of a kind of diagnostics, you found out what occurs on all devices that connect to the same wireless network, then look for the cause of the error in the router settings.

Good afternoon! I shoveled the entire Internet, I could not find an answer. There are many step by step instructions, but they are all for routers ... The question is: I use my smartphone as an access point. I bought a WiFi amplifier to cover the entire apartment. I work on a laptop. The connection is good, stable, the speed is decent ... When you turn on the amplifier, it appears in the list of available ones. I connect - without access to the Internet! Smartphone, at this very time, also becomes without access ... Until I unplug the amplifier. In general, this is a resolvable issue, or am I not the right city? Is it possible to amplify the WiFi signal of a smartphone as an access point? Please tell me. Preferably step by step. Not good at this. Amplifier - TP-Link TL WA855RE. Thanks.

Is it possible to amplify the WiFi signal of a smartphone as an access point?

I think it's possible. But does it make sense. A smartphone is not a router. It is not designed to operate continuously in this mode. Not designed for the load that the devices will create.

Please tell me. Preferably step by step. Not good at this. Amplifier - TP-Link TL WA855RE.

I do not have instructions specifically for TP-Link TL WA855RE, but I do.

In short: you need to connect from any device to the WI-FI network of the repeater, go through the browser to its settings and connect to the Wi-Fi network that the smartphone distributes.

Sergey, thank you for your prompt reply! The fact is that to go in and connect is understandable! I go in, set it up, in different ways, connect without problems. BUT! Network without Internet access! Or limited access…. In general, there is a network, but there is no Internet. It seems that there is a conflict with the access point. And at the expense of using smart as an access point…. I do not know what the meaning is, but I have been using it for 4 years, almost around the clock. And at home, and at work, and in the car. The speed is excellent, everything flies, unlimited, plus a lot of minutes of calls around the country. On a laptop, 30-40 tabs are open at the same time .... The only negative is that at home there is a good 4g signal only in one room. So I am racking my head. or 4g signal to amplify, or wifi. I took a Wi-Fi amplifier, he's a repeater, I can't marry them with a smart yet ..)) He sees the access point, the laptop sees both of them, judging by the indicators, the contact is established ... I connect on the laptop to one or another point - " without Internet access ”! I turn off the repeater - I connect to the smart without problems. Now I'm leaving it ... I apologize for the many letters ... Any thoughts that might conflict? Can prescribe other addresses in the settings, etc. Now, by default, it is automatic obtaining IP ... There is an instruction! Possible reasons, studied, but this all concerns routers, settings ... And I have smart! Not like people ..)) Thank you, good luck!
