Hi jrbrownie, Did you make any recent changes to the laptop? Please perform a power cycle and check if it resolves the issue. Please follow the steps below. Restart the Router & Internet Modem 1. Shut down the computer. 2. Switch off the modem followed by the router and also unplug their power cables. 3. Wait for 30 seconds. 4. Plug the power cords back into the modem and the router but don’t switch them on yet. 5. First turn on your modem and wait for it to initialize (let the lights become stable). 6. Then switch on the router and let the blinking lights stabilize. 7. Now turn on your computer.  Please note that for power cycling, it’s important that you switch on the devices only in the specified order. Also try disabling your antivirus/firewall and check if it makes a difference.
I have a hard wired desk top and a laptop that has an internet connection via router.  Last few days the laptop has not connected to the internet, status shows there is a connection with excellent strength. Desktop works fine, smartphone- wifi works fine with fast/normal browsing speed. Connected the laptop to the modem to see if the internet would connect, and it still did not.
No internet connection to laptop, signal and connection status shows its fine
