Hi, im experiencing something weird with my network recently. When i plug it in the ethernet it works perfectly. But when i connect to the internet via wifi it says that it has no internet connection. Moreover i can connect to my phone hotspot with no problem. My phone and tablet can connect to the current wifi but not my laptop. My roommate laptop however, has no problem in connecting to it.

Additional info:
When i ping 127.0.0 1 i get a response
When i ping my own ip i also get a response.
But when i ping, the default gateway (192.168.1.1 or 0.1) i have "request timed out"
I also have pinged google or yahoo but i have no response

Ps. I have tried flushing dns, changing the dns to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 but nothing works. Please help anyone

Turn the modem off for a min then turn it back on. Or theres something wrong with your wireless adapter

Modem must be blocking you somewhere then. Or the password if you have 1 is wrong. Log into it

May have to update its firmware. Must be the modem if your wireless is fine somewhere else
