Internet not available even though Wi-Fi is connected.


Recommended Posts

Hello,

In phone i checked Wi-fi network settings.

There i can see 192.168.1.1 is the default gateway ip.

There is a difference between the gateway IP and the IP address of your device.

Since it works on your laptop, open up CMD and type

ipconfig

And let me see the output.

Here is my ipconfig output.

Guys I think the issue is due to default gateway .

 

Scenario is that I have a Wi-Max connection and I have used 2 router.

1st router dooesnt have a Wi-Fi port So i have used 2nd ADSL 2 router for Wi-Fi.

May be this is root cause Why I am not able to get Wi-Fi on my phone.

Hello,

Guys I think the issue is due to default gateway .

More or less; Your Android seems to have its wlan0 interface (wifi) with a IP address that is in use by your router!

Before anything else, I wanna fully confirm this so on your Android (which is connected to the wifi) go ahead and open terminal emulator and type:

ip addr show wlan0

This will confirm.

Guys sorry for late reply.

Here is the screenshot of ip addr show wlan0.

If I'm reading everything correctly, your phone has the same IP address as your laptop. This is a problem. Are you using DHCP on your router and/or do you have any IP addresses manually entered into either your laptop or phone?

Here is ip configuration of my laptop.

It says ip as 192.168.1.102

I am using a Windows PC also in this network.I checked ip address of that system too.It says IP as 192.168.1.101(Preffered).

Also i haven't configured any IP manually..About DHCP I am not sure about it.

Try opening the command prompt on your PC and type the following:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

That should tell your PC to find a new IP from your router that is not in use by any other devices.

As a test you could try shutting that PC off and testing your phone to see if the issues go away. If they both have 192.168.1.100 you will have problems.

 

I tried using only my phone connected to that network,but still no luck. :(

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
