My problem is that I'm in windows 11 on my Lenovo laptop, but after another beta update every time I turned on my laptop it would be disconnected from my Wifi and when I connect it to my Wifi it says connected no internet. So then I restart my laptop and it starts working again, but then later on the day the problem happens again.

    I just had this exact issue and tried what you suggested. Worked like a charm, thank you so much!

    I really hope they update their useless fix suggestions with what you said. I literally tried a dozen different fixes and this is the only one that worked.

    I had this issue before Christmas and it fixed itself after a day. Now having the same issue again, though the wifi is missing entirely. Ethernet works for some reason.

    I can't believe one of the biggest tech companies in the world has clearly known about this issue for months and have no solution. What a joke. I'm rolling back to Windows 10.

    I was only able to solve this issue (not having 5Ghz internet connection) by changing "Channel Width for 5Ghz" to 20mhz, nothing else on my side was needed (but i'm limited to a fifth of the original ISP bandwidth).

    Funny though but 2 weeks ago I've changed directly on my ISP Router to 20/40mhz instead of 20/40/80mhz and the bloody thing worked without any issue and without changing the "channel width to 5Ghz".

    It connected to 40mhz constantly and I've only lost some bandwidth (~30-50%), but it was completely workable and rock solid stable.

    So, I'm confident the problem resides here, somehow windows can't manage this **** and everytime it updates........ Oh boy, it got worse.

    It is completely NOT related to the driver.

    I too have the same issue as everyone else. I just bought a brand new HP Pavilion Laptop and after pulling it out of the box, it stopped on the 4th screen where it would consistently attach to wifi but always said "Connected, No Internet". After doing the tricks listed on how to breakout of the initial Windows 11 setup (Shift+F10, type 'taskmgr', click 'more details' on the task manager and then killing/ending the "Network Connection Flow" process/task), Windows 11 proceeded to the main screen. I immediately rebooted it and then disabled the 802.11ax protocol which was the root cause for me. For some reason, Windows 11 did not like my WiFi6, ASUS router so I changed the protocol to 802.11ac and have never had a problem since. To do that in Windows 11, you must:

    • Click the Search icon / magnifying glass
    • Type "control panel"
    • Click "Device Manager"
    • Go down to "Network Adapters" and expand that section
    • Highlight and double click on your wi-fi adapter (it has unique names depending on your hardware manufacturer)
    • Click the "Advanced" tab

    Change the wireless mode from 802.11ax to 802.11ac, reboot and see if it changes from "Connected, No Internet" to just Connected (with internet).

    That's what fixed my issue after I spent a few days troubleshooting the wifi, "Connected, No Internet" problem.

    Good luck!

    I have problem with WIFI on my old Lenovo laptop. Now, I buy Acer laptop and turns out: I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. Troubleshooting is fine, but that's not fine if I have to do it ALL THE TIME.

    Could microsoft fix it once and for all? I seriously considering to switch to another OS. I use windows since windows 3.1. Very reluctant to change OS, but this WIFI problem will be the last straw.
