hello everybody! today my router/modem seems to have gone bad, I reset it because the internet completely stopped working and my router only had WLAN and Port 1 lights on, no Power or WAN. After resetting, it was fine, all lights on, configured the router as i always do.
However, only ethernet was working, the port 1,connected to my laptop, but no wifi was working. I had about 3 phones and 2 other laptops trying to connect at this time, but they either got the "Windows can't connect" error or connected but without proper internet working ( that triangle sign)
So for now only my laptop can connect to the internet since Wi-fi doesn't work at all... can anybody help me? my parents are starting to get mad hehe.
 
Solution
Since you have reconfigured your router....You will have to remove any of the current profiles on your laptops, phones and other devices for your WiFi connection, then re-scan for the refreshed one.....connect and re-input the WiFi password. That should hopefully resolve the connections.

by the way i've seen a few threads that look like this and I think I should post my ipconfig/all here. That's the ipconfig/all while i'm connected to the working ethernet cable.

i'll try both, if the router is actually gone, might just buy another, been using this one for about 5 years already lol.
#Edit
Thanks Neur0naut!
I was thinking about changing the router anyways, so good pick from pet aswell, however after removing every internet profile from my laptop I could log into the wifi.Probably due to the fact I had a profile with the same name of the current internet, which was equal to my current Wi-fi SSID.
#Edit2
Seems like only I can connect to the wifi...Every other laptop now works after the password phase fine, they connect for a while without problems (not enough time to get in browser though) but then that warning triangle appears again.Oh well...
