I've worked in customer support. Windows 10 did a lot of fucked up shit about wifi on people's computers. It would connect to networks, but would never be able to get a working IP or let you communicate on that network. Never seen that before with 7 and 8.
Sebastian Sanchez
sometimes it dont connect for shit if the date and time is incorrect.
also, try rebooting
Sebastian Morgan
Rebooting is not helping
Matthew Perry
Who says your WiFi network has DHCP? Or maybe it only whitelists WAN to specific IPs. Literally could be thousands of things wrong with your network, as well as thousands of things that is wrong with Windows.

install a linux distro them, i suggest Gentoo

This kind of crap happens to me from time to time.
You can try resetting windows firewall to its default settings, sometimes works.
If it wasn't completely trash, I would have installed a Linux distro.

>windows 10
Nicholas Flores
I honestly don't know what you're talking about. My windows 8.1 laptop used to constantly not have internet while connected to wifi. This problem was fixed when I updated to windows 10.
Anthony Jones
Did you right click on the wifi icon and select Troubleshoot? It works sometimes.
Isaac Clark
It "resets" the WiFi adapter, claims that it's fixed, but literally does nothing
Mason Jones
Is the router accessible?
Lucas Johnson
Does your ipconfig /all information on windows match your Linux's ip addr?
Josiah Parker
...
Mason Turner
Didn't check. I'm tempted to wipe the filth out of my hard drive though.
Tyler Reyes
What I fucking mean is, is the router's configuration page accessible? that would at least let you know if your router gave you an IP
Zachary King
It does give an IP. If I physically reconnect the wifi dongle it works for a second. Then goes back to limited internet or some shit.
Angel Thomas
If it doesn't work on the latest version on Windows it certainly won't work on a linux distro or god forbid facebook machine OS
It's a problem with your router, contact your ISP
Ethan Campbell
Type ipconfig /all in Windows cmd
Type ip addr in Linux terminal
Check if the information matches.
If it matches, then try pinging each other's IP addresses while on the same network.
Try connecting to some other network too, like at a local Starbucks or something.
Oliver Cox
>contact your ISP
or use an OS that just works
wank blows is an OS for people with too much time on their hand.
Julian Perry
Also try pinging the router/gateway.
Jose Harris
LOONIX is hobbyist trash for neckbearded losers. Real professionals use Microsoft Windows.
Ask for genuine Microsoft software.

I had a fucking Windows 7 install not be able to use my fucking ETHERNET port, let alone wifi. Ubuntu just werked. Only time in my life I used the CD in the mobo box for drivers.
Juan Adams
God you people are retarded
Most of your windows 7 install media is going to be atleast 7 years old with the OS being close to 10 years old at this point and if your PC is any newer than that OF FUCKING COURSE Windows 7 isn't going to have Ethernet drivers. How is it suppose to have drivers for Ethernet chip sets that didn't exist yet as of the install media's making?
Your Ubuntu media and kernel was made in the last few months so its going to have no issue with drivers for a recent system. If you had a 8 year old Ubuntu CD you would run into the same issues as windows 7
Matthew Barnes
Ian Long
Devices are partially functional with generic OS drivers, at least well made ones. It's why you can put an rtx 2080 into a fresh windows 7 machine and you can still see your desktop. All network devices should work with the OS's generic drivers, if the device is made for that os.
Ian Brown
GNU/Linux : Just werks
NSA/Windoze : Just don't
Logan Martinez
Maybe you should go back to a more simple OS like Linux, you shouldn't try to use a non-babby OS :)
Jackson Hernandez
Any GPU made today still has legacy compatibility layers dating back to the IBM PC with CGA so no matter what OS or GPU the OS always has a away to use the GPU in some way to get an image. Windows 7 without a GPU driver should just be using VESA mode
NICs used to have layers like this but it was never really standardized
