I'm just going to go through the process from when I start my computer since it's a confusing situation.
Once I get to the desktop the Internet icon on the system tray appears as the following:
- An Ethernet connected icon
- An Ethernet connected icon with a yellow warning symbol with a !
- A WiFi icon with a white * above it
- Then it may connect to my WiFi, but after a few minutes it goes back to the previous icon.
I've called Time Warner my ISP, and they can't help me because it's nothing on their end. I've called my router company Linksys (Cisco), and it's the same thing without buying a subscription plan to their premium tech support. I've also contact Microsoft, and had the same result as Linksys.
Additional Information:
- When I Open Network and Sharing Center my network name will apear except the Activity says: Not Connected, and that whole section of the window blinks for a while.
- When I left click the WiFi icon and bring up my list of connections my network name will appear like this
MyNetWorkName Limited <WiFi Icon>
When I try to disconnect, it won't let me.
- I've tried the troubleshoot, but the troubleshoot will not work for me either. I'm almost certain it's the laptop and not the router or my internet because my phone and desktop have no issues at all connecting wirelessly and wired.
