Recently my Windows 10 computer internet stopped working properly. All the other devices in the house work fine but my computer when I try to connect either says "Can't connect to network" or it connects but says "No internet access, secured". My setup: Landord's Modem - His Router - My Router - My PC. It has bee like this for ages and I have had no problems. I can connect to his router and some other networks around but then i have a poor connection. Sometimes i cannot connect at all and my computer shows the Ethernet symbol with the yellow triangle so it must think it is somehow needing an Ethernet connection or something. It has been a week since this problem started. Usually since I know a thing or two about network I can figure it out but I am confused; I have tried everything I know.

Thanks,
Ramellafella

So you are saying keep my landlords's DHCP on and turn mine off(its on)? Would this do anything for my computer? All the other devices that are on my network work.

I didn't see you said your other devices work, I read your post too quickly. Either way I would try turning DHCP off on your router. You should only have one device/router running DHCP.

Have you tried reinstalling the driver for your network card? Are you trying to connect via wireless or ethernet? Check you have set your ip settings to automatically get an IP address and you have not set a static IP at some point.

Ok I will do that. I have uninstalled my network adapter but i never have checked the "delete the driver software from the device" because I couldn't find it online for a back up. I did not want to mess anything up. I also returned my settings to no longer have a static ip but that didn't work either.

After doing the command and restarting my computer I still couldn't connect.

My Wifi adapter is: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN
I do not know if you need this but my Ethernet adapter is: Intel(R) 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection

That's what it says in Device Manager.
