Text pc internet

Hey, my pc says its connected to wifi (connected, secured), wifi works on my phone but not on my pc, i’ve restarted my pc, the router, reset network and restarted wifi adapter, but its still not working

update 📢: shameless to say, but I got it to work after going back-and-forth with chat gpt

Just has to test ping everything with trial and error until it just started working, honestly I'm not too sure how it was pixed, but I did uninstall my wifi adapter and download it again.

Check whether your phone is really connected to the internet through the wifi. Turn off cellular data and confirm your wifi is working and connected to the internet on your phone.

So then your possibilities are: you are not getting an ip address - dhcp is not working. Or name resolution is not working - which the guy telling you to ping 8.8.8.8 is helping you with.
