[SOLVED] PC Internet Connected, but NO INTERNET.

[kevintandel]

Hey everyone,

Lately, the internet connection on my PC has been really weird. I am connected to the internet via Ethernet and all my other devices are connected through Wifi. All the devices work perfectly fine, except recently, my PC.

What happens on my PC, is that I am connected to the internet, but the internet doesn't actually work, (It even says connected) while it works perfectly fine on all other devices. I can't load up any websites, games, anything online basically.

Now, it may seem like the problem is with my PC or the Ethernet cable, but it's not. This happens randomly throughout the day and lasts around 30 minutes. Then the internet is online again and I can use it on my PC. In fact, I'm writing this from my PC. I think there's some setting or update that's made my internet un-connected. As I said, I am always connected and always have the internet on every other device - but my PC basically stops using it sometimes.

Started around a week before.

Hopefully, someone can help

Thanks!

Have you checked any power saving settings on your NIC (Device manager)?
