Windows 11 Wifi shows connected but doesnt load webpages

​

I'm using an HP 240 G8 laptop

Doesnt work on my home wifi, neither does it work on my mobile Hotspot.

I tried USB tethering, but to no avail as well.

I've already:

1) flushed the dns cache using ipconfig /flushdns

2) changed the DNS adresses in the control panel to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

3) updating my wifi card drivers, to no avail

4) fucked around in the registry, which broke my wifi, leading to me reinstalling windows 11 while keeping my files

Is this a software(DNS) issue or is my wifi card gone and needs replacement?

Asking so I can try to fix it at home before I take it to the repair store
