Ethernet/WiFi connected, but no internet access

[Pestilence21]

so ive been working for the past 4 hours trying to figure out why all of a sudden my pc decided to not allow me to access the internet. My rig is connected by ethernet and by a WiFi card. I have uninstalled/reinstalled drivers for both multiple times and restarted my router multiple times. i am out of ideas at this point. It shows that my they are both connected but i also states "no internet". When i pull up chrome, it says that the DNS address could not be found then it switches to a page that says "There is no internet connection". when i check ipconfig in the command prompt, it shows that both are connected with an ip address, ect... odd thing out of all of this is i can connect to the internet when i boot my computer up in safe mode. I have windows 10. This problem is seriously aggravating me as it was working this morning. Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Since I didn't see you mention anything about it but have you tried to hard reset your router already?

my modem is one of those combo modem/routers... all my other devices connect to the wifi so thats how i know i can pinpoint it to something wrong with my pc

Try it out as we may have the same issue. I had the same problem before and this method worked out for me. My Issue was other devices can connect except my pc on a LAN wire, so give it a shot. No harm in trying.

I tried it, unplugged and plugged it back in, changed the ethernet cable from one of the powerline wireless extenders that u use and still nothing. It was working perfectly fine yesterday morning and then at night is when it got all screwed up.

Plugged it directly to the MOBO?

Thank you for your replies BruhLovin. I ended up doing a system reset and it fixed whatever the problem was.

Well I'm just glad you managed to work it out on your own 😀! Since, no one was tryign to help you out. Probably culprit could be software, not your hardware. Corrupted files, perhaps? Well anyways, glad it's working now! Cheers mate!

My search to solve this issue became an unexpected quest. I will tell how I resolved this issue on my network in a moment.
First, I feel I need to explain, I tried everything, from Resetting the TCIP Stack. DNS Flush, DNS Release/Renew, Wisnsock reset, updating Driver, uninstalling drivers, uninstalling hardware - reinstalling hardware and drivers, Microsoft hot-fix for Windows 7, downloaded software which was ''supposed'' to fix the problem, deleting the Network, reconnecting to the Network, changing all the connection settings on the Adapter, disconnecting, reconnecting, changing channels on the router, rebooting the router to gain access on the devices for 5 hours tops, called At&t SEVERAL times, got a NEW router, ethernet cable, and new Phone Jack, had At&t come to house 3 times - one time which I actually almost got into an argument with the technician who tried to blow me off, another of which actually had the nerve to tell me he had been working for At&t for 17 years that told me my Router was ''just not'' capable of handing so many devices (10-12 maxed), etc.

Whew. Ok so what ended up fixing this for me was changing THE MODE on my router (Netgear 7550) to 11g only.
It's a new router, MODE set to MIXED 11b, 11g, and 11n as the default. Hope this helps SOMEONE out there.
