Ok so I'm on holiday and I've got the persons wifi connections who I'm staying with
But when Ive put all the information in on my laptop on the wifi icon (bottom right) it comes up with a black exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle and it won't let me connect to the Internet.
Can anyone help with this?
Ps. I'm writing this via my iPad as it all works on my iPad and phone but not laptop
Do you have any more information regarding your laptop model, which country you are holidaying in, their isp etc?
My laptop is a toshiba, I'm on holiday in the uk
Ooer, and you're getting wifi fine on other products.
Have you tried turning it on and off again? ;) lol jk
But perhaps try resetting the router?
Can get on the Internet on anything else
I have tried switching it off an on (no luck)
I have restarted the router (still no luck)
Your firewall isn't possibly blocking it out, is it? It's a little strange that there is a connection but no internet access.
Don't think so because it works anywhere else in the world
Right click the internet thing - troubleshoot?
Nope, still hasn't fixed it
what did it say when you did it?Quote:

It says:
If you're connected to a hotspot or domain network, contact the network administrator.
Otherwise:
1. Unplug or turn of the device
2. Once all of the lights on the device are off, wait at least 10 seconds
3. Turn the device back on or plug it back into the power outlet
To restart a router or access point that has a built-in battery, press and quickly release the Reset button.
I guess you're using Windows 8/8.1? If so then there's your problem.
Why would Windows 8 be the problem? Just wondering for interest sake :)Quote:

This is the newest Asus and Intel hardware we're talking about here too, not some prehistoric device without drivers for Windows 8.
t's not microsoft's fault intel and asus cant make their own drivers workQuote:

That's pretty strange and worrying for anyone who might not be entirely good with computers :/ But as @mrwoooooooo said that seems more of an issue with Intel and ASUS than with Windows 8, unless Windows 8 is asking the drivers to do something completely different for some weird reason :/ It does seem weird if the technology is roughly the same but Windows 8 refuses to acknowledge it. I wouldn't like to say who is at fault.Quote:
