What To Do When No Computers On A Network Have Web Access
If you suddenly find that none of your computers has Wi-Fi Internet access, first shut down your modem and router, and then restore power to them in that order. This often resolves such issues. It's always possible that you really do have no Internet access, possibly because of a problem with your ISP (Internet service provider). Call to see if the ISP is receiving any reports of outages. You can test the router itself by taking it out of the loop and connecting a system directly to your broadband modem. If the system can connect without the router, the router may be at fault; swap it out, if possible, and see if the problem is resolved. (Don't leave the computer connected directly to the modem; without the router in the loop, you're missing an important layer of protection against hackers.)
