My computer has been struggling with the internet lately and today it's decided it's not gonna connect to the network at all. I've tried WiFi hotspot on my phone to see if it's just my WiFi but it couldn't connect to that either. As I said in the title other devices like my mobile phone, can connect to my WiFi just fine. I've tried various methods but nothing seems to work.
Please help me.
 
Solution
Have you restarted your router since the issue started occurring? Also, have you ran virus/malware scans on your PC to make sure nothing like that is interfering.

If you're still unable to connect, try disabling your anti-virus firewall, as sometimes this can interfere.

Wow didn't realise the solution was because avast internet security had their firewall on. It's weird because on the summary screen it says it's off but when I checked the settings it was actually on. How frustrating. Thanks for the help cheese9k
