Hi,
I've been having network connection issues with a variety of wifi dongles in Windows 10. I'm at my wits end and have thoroughly searched through this forum and what seems like the entire internet for the solution, hopefully someone can help. I'm 99.9% sure it's not an ISP issue because my laptop(also running Windows 10) is fine and my tablet and phone also can connect to the network with no problem.
The machine I'm having issues with is a desktop that I built and did a clean install of Windows 10 Education edition on. I used a Nano 150 wifi dongle initially but the connection was unusable. Incredibly slow so I decided to buy a faster adapter. This adapter is where the problems started. It was a TP-Link AC1200 ArcherT4U. The computer would see my wireless network and say it was connected but I would be unable to load any websites. I could however ping google.com and get a response.
On running the troubleshooter the network, Windows told me Network Protocols Missing and in further details it said Windows Network Sockets missing. I replaced the Socket 1 and 2 in the registry with clean versions from my laptop that is running fine.
However I still cannot connect but now on running the troubleshooter it says DNS Server Not Responding.
I have (1) flushed the dns, (2) released renewed IP, (3) powered down the router and pc multiple times, (4) reinstalled windows twice (5) set the DNS manually to Google and OpenDNS
pretty much everything on the forum or online that people have suggested I have done. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm really getting quite frustrated.
Thanks for reading and again any thoughts would be fantastic.
