I have a problem connecting to my home network wirelessly, and so far I have tried almost everything. When connected, I get a yellow sign on the wi-fi icon, and an
err_network_changed
message in browser. I am using two laptops on the same network and one works fine, but the second one is is causing problems.
Here is some information about my machine and things that I have tried so far:
- Laptop – Dell Inspiron N5100
- Windows 10 Pro (Version 1803) OS
Tried:
-
Online search
-
Flushing DNS
-
Resetting router
-
Winsock reset
-
TCP/IP settings reset
-
Re-installing drivers
-
Searching for official Dell wireless drivers, but
can't find them for Windows 10. I've tried Windows 7 but no luck. -
Disabling Ethernet
-
Disabling/enabling wireless connection
-
Using Google's DNS
-
Changing IP to static.
-
Windows full reset
I doubt it is a hardware problem, because I have been connected to home network and it all worked fine but suddenly this happened. Note that I have no problem connecting to any other network, but for some reason can't connect to the one at home. I've also looked at wireless statistics for my router and I see that package receiving is very low.
Here is some additional info from IP Configuration:
I am using the TP-Link WR740N router.
Any suggestion or link to a solution is very helpful, thank you for your time.
