so the internet connection was fine with my laptop.
after i suspended it and brought it back up, tray icon says that i'm connected to internet but i cant access internet at all. i thought it maybe router problem, but i'm posting this thread with my phone with the same router. i also discovered that i just cant access internet with any other APs. i flushed DNS, enable and disable the adapter.
i don't have any wire connection (Ethernet) cuz i didnt even install the driver but i dont think that's the problem. Ran the diagnosis tool embedded in Windows, but as always no luck.
it's really weird cuz i didn't do anything that would change internet comnection setting.
btw when i look at the adapter status, it says ipv4 is connected but not ipv6.
i'm not sure if they were behaving like this before though....
i tried system restore but failed o_o
i'm just simply blocked..... any suggestions please?

Right, first off all, ivp6 is fine, it is not needed as not many things use it ATM. Secondly It really is hard to diagnose I would suggest looking into disabling your firewall, see if that works, if not, you could also try and enter safe mode with networking (most of the time it is F8 when restarting computer) and lastly try and use the Ethernet cable if that's a possibility to see if the internet works then..

Sorry but i just dont think its the router's problem cause only my laptop isnt working. It may be dhcp stuff, but judging from the behavior that laptop cant access internet via any other APs, i assume it's soley my laptop's suddent whim

So I typed

winsock reset
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset

3 of these in CMD and...
Thanks it works like a charm! Any idea how i ran into this problem suddenly? I just want to avoid the probelm in the future.
Thank you again.
