I have this new job working remotely at home, however, my computer needs to be connected to the router via ethernet cable. My computer didn't have an ethernet port, so i bought an Insignia USB to Ethernet adapter and plugged one end to the adapter and the other end to the box. There are green lights on each end but when i go and choose the ethernet connection it tells me that unidentified network / no internet access. I ran IPCONFIG to see and this is what it tells me:
When i run troubleshoot it tells me to plug the cable into the "ethernet" in which I did and i purchased 2 new cables and it is telling me the same thing. Please help me figure this out!
