Connecting to the Internet in Windows 10. Setting up a local network connection - detailed instructions

Often, due to Windows system updates, the Internet connection is lost and you have to configure it yourself. But of all versions of Windows 10, it is the most complex and figuring out how to connect the Internet in this operating system on your own is quite difficult.

There are several types of Internet connections that can be connected to the system, namely regular network Internet, high-speed connection, Wi-Fi and modem. The connection method depends on what kind of Internet the user is using.

It’s worth starting with how to set up the Internet connected to the Windows 10 system via a standard network cable. This method is used if the service provider installed the cable but did not provide any connection information. In this case, the Internet in Windows 10 is connected through the creation of Ethernet.

The first thing you need to do is connect the cable to your computer or laptop. As a rule, the Windows 10 system already has standard settings Internet connection, and the device will immediately respond to the connected cable.

If the computer displays the connection, but it does not work or is limited, you need to configure it this way:


Setting up high-speed Internet

The need to set up high-speed Internet in Windows arises if the provider left network data, namely a password and login, when laying the cable. This method is in many ways similar to the previous one, but here in order to establish a connection you first need to create it:

Wireless Internet connection

In order to configure Internet Wi-Fi You just need to select a network from the list of available connections and enter the password in its field. This is often the only thing required for the connection, since Windows automatically installs an adapter for this connection.

Setting up an Internet connection via modem

In order to set up internet in Windows via a modem, you first need to connect it to your computer. Next, you need to install the modem driver on the device. After these manipulations are completed in Windows, you can configure the Internet:

Usually these steps are enough to set up the Internet in Windows, which will work correctly. But if there is no connection, you should check the correctness of the entered data, as well as the modem connection. In order to subsequently further configure, edit or disable the Internet, just click on its designation in the panel below.

If, when connecting to the Internet, it does not work, and in the Windows panel next to the icon there is a yellow restrictive indicator, you need to check all the stages of the connection again. But if you carefully follow all the instructions, the connection should appear immediately after restarting the computer.

Hello friends! We continue to understand setting up the Internet and solving various problems in Windows 10. I have already prepared several useful articles on this topic, I will provide links below. Well, in this article we will set up the Internet in Windows 10. Let's talk about setting up a regular network connection, high-speed connection (PPPoE), Wi-Fi networks, and 3G/4G modems. I think the article will be useful to many. After all, after upgrading to Windows 10, not everyone can immediately figure out where and what to configure and how to do it. And there are times when, after upgrading to Windows 10, the Internet simply does not work. Most likely, you just need to reconfigure the connection.

We know that there are different ways to connect our computer to the internet. In this article I will try to talk about setting up basic connections:

  • Setting up a regular Ethernet connection. Connecting the cable directly from the provider to the computer, through a router, or ADSL modem.
  • Internet connection via Wi-Fi.
  • Internet setup via USB 3G/4G modem.

Now we will take a detailed look at setting up an Internet connection through the connections listed above. You should find out what kind of internet you have, and you can immediately go to the desired subheading in this article. Let's probably start with Ethernet - a very popular way to connect to the Internet.

Ethernet: connecting to the Internet in Windows 10 via a network cable (router, modem)

Let's look at the simplest connection first. If your Internet provider just laid a network cable into the house, and the provider did not provide a login and password to connect to the Internet, then you have a regular Ethernet connection.

The Internet connection in Windows 10 is configured in the same way via a router or ADSL modem.

To set up such a connection, just connect a network cable from your provider (router, or ADSL modem) to your computer (laptop), into the network card connector:

If everything is fine with the Ethernet settings on the computer (nobody changed them), then the Internet should work immediately (you will understand this by the connection status in the notification panel). If the Internet via a network cable does not work, the computer simply does not respond to connecting the cable, then see. I myself encountered such a problem.

If the connection appears, but status Limited, or unidentified network , and the Internet does not work, then you need to check the parameters of the Ethernet adapter.

In Windows 10 this is done like this:

Right-click on the Internet connection status in the notification panel and select . Next, click on the item in the new window Changing adapter settings.

Right-click on the adapter Ethernet and choose Properties. Select an item from the list IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4). If the checkbox next to this item is not checked, be sure to check it, otherwise the Internet will not work. So, select “IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and press the button Properties.

In the new window, check that automatic settings for obtaining IP and DNS addresses are set, and click Ok.

The Internet should already be working. If not, then restart your computer. If you still can’t establish a connection, then check the cable connections, whether there are any problems on the provider’s side, whether the router or ADSL modem through which you are connecting is working properly (if you do not have a direct connection to your ISP).

If you are trying to set up an Ethernet connection directly from your provider, and the Internet does not want to work for you, then ask your provider if they bind by MAC address. If it does, then you need to tell the provider the MAC address of the computer. He will register it in his settings, and the Internet will work. Few providers use such a binding, but it does happen. Read how to find out the MAC address in Windows 10.

That's it, we've sorted out this type of connection, now we have a high-speed connection.

If your Internet provider laid a cable into your house and provided you with a login, password, and possibly some other data for connecting to the Internet that you need to set in the settings of your computer or Wi-Fi router, then you need to configure High-Speed ​​on Windows 10 connection (PPPoE). What are we going to do now? Essentially, this is the same as Ethernet, but here the Internet will not work until we create connections.

If your Internet connection is through a router and a connection is configured on it (PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP), then you do not need to configure anything on your computer. Just connect the network cable from the router to the computer. I talked about setting up such a connection above.

If you connect the cable directly to the computer, and you have a username and password to connect to the Internet, then you need to create a connection.

Opening Network and Sharing Center shared access :

Click on the item. Then, select the item Internet connection, and press the button Next.

In the next window, select the item: High speed (with PPPoE).

Next, set the username and password that your Internet provider must provide to you. You can also set a name for the connection, for example: " High speed connection Beeline". And you can also check the boxes next to the items saving the password, displaying the password and allowing other users to use this connection. I recommend checking the box next to the item Remember this password.

Click on the button Connect, and if everything is connected correctly and the parameters are set correctly, a connection will be created and a connection to the Internet will be established.

You can see and manage this connection by clicking on the Internet icon in the notification panel.

Clicking on the connection will open a menu Dialing a number, where you can connect, delete, or edit connection settings.

Internet connection via Wi-Fi

If you have a Wi-Fi router installed at home, or you want to connect your laptop to the Internet with friends, in a cafe, etc., then you can use Wi-Fi for this. If you already have the driver installed for your Wi-Fi adapter, and Windows 10 almost always installs it automatically, then all that remains is to open the list of networks available for connection, select the one you need, and specify the password (if the network is secure), and you are already connected to the Internet.

On this topic, I have already written a detailed article: . I think with connection to wireless network There shouldn't be any problems.

Setting up the Internet via a 3G/4G modem in Windows 10

All that remains is to consider setting up a connection via a USB 3G or 4G modem. On a computer with Windows 10, setting up such a connection will be practically no different from.

First of all, we need to connect the modem to the computer and install the driver for our modem. The driver can be downloaded from the modem manufacturer's website, from the Internet provider's website, or simply found on the Internet. Search by modem name and model. Also, the driver can be on the disk included with the modem, or on the modem itself. If there is no driver for your modem for the Windows 10 operating system, then try to find one for Windows 8, or even Windows 7. It may be suitable.

After you have installed the driver, connect the modem to your computer, and you can start setting up a 3G connection on Windows 10. By the way, everything is almost the same as when setting up a high-speed connection.

Opening Network and Sharing Center.

Click on Create and configure a new connection or network and choose Internet connection.

And we set the parameters that the provider provides: number, username and password. I showed the example of the Intertelecom provider. I recommend checking the box next to Remember this password. Specify a custom connection name. Once you have filled in all the fields, click on the button Create.

If everything is ok, a connection will be created and a connection to the Internet will be established.

If the connection fails, check all the parameters and the USB modem connection. It may also be that you have very poor coverage from your provider. In such cases, the Internet may not connect at all, or work very slowly. I wrote how to see what your signal level is and how to increase it. In some cases, if the network is very bad, you need.

You can start, stop, delete, or edit the created connection by clicking on the Internet connection icon and selecting the created connection.

The Internet connection status is always displayed in the notification panel. By clicking on it, you can disconnect from the Internet, or start the desired connection.

And a few more words

No matter how you set up the Internet, you may encounter a popular error "Limited". When the Internet does not work and the connection status is yellow exclamation mark. We dealt with this problem in .

The article turned out to be long, but it didn’t seem confusing. I would like to fully answer the question posed in the title. I hope you found useful information in this article and connected your Windows 10 computer to the Internet.

You can ask questions in the comments. Before describing your problem, read this article carefully. Perhaps the solution has already been written. Also, look at the links to other articles, there are many useful information on the topic.

If everything is fine with the Ethernet settings on the computer (no one has changed them), then the Internet should work immediately (you will understand this by the connection status on the notification panel). If the Internet via a network cable does not work, the computer simply does not respond to the cable being connected, then see this article. I myself encountered such a problem.

If the connection appears, but the status is Restricted, or the network is unidentified, and the Internet does not work, then you need to check the parameters of the Ethernet adapter.

In Windows 10 this is done like this:

Right-click on the Internet connection status in the notification panel and select Network and Sharing Center. Next, click in the new window on the item Change adapter settings.

Right-click on the Ethernet adapter and select Properties. Select IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list. If the checkbox next to this item is not checked, be sure to check it, otherwise the Internet will not work. So, select “IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click the Properties button.

In the new window, check that the automatic settings for obtaining IP and DNS addresses are set, and click Ok.

The Internet should already be working. If not, then restart your computer. If you still can’t establish a connection, then check the cable connections to see if there are any problems on the provider’s side, whether the router or ADSL modem through which you are connecting is working normally (if you do not have a direct connection to the provider).

If you are trying to set up an Ethernet connection directly from your provider, and the Internet does not want to work for you, then ask your provider if they bind by MAC address. If it does, then you need to tell the provider the MAC address of the computer. He will register it in his settings, and the Internet will work. Few providers use such a binding, but it does happen.

In the next window, select the item: High-speed (with PPPoE).

Next, set the username and password that your Internet provider must provide to you. You can also set a name for the connection, for example: “Beeline high-speed connection”. And you can also check the boxes next to the items saving the password, displaying the password and allowing other users to use this connection. I recommend checking the box next to Remember this password.

Click on the Connect button, and if everything is connected correctly and the parameters are set correctly, a connection will be created and a connection to the Internet will be established.

You can see and manage this connection by clicking on the Internet icon in the notification panel.

Clicking on a connection will open the Dialing menu, where you can connect, delete, or edit connection settings.

You can start, stop, delete, or edit the created connection by clicking on the Internet connection icon and selecting the created connection.

The Internet connection status is always displayed in the notification panel. By clicking on it, you can disconnect from the Internet, or start the desired connection.

And a few more words

I also provide a link to instructions for setting up Internet distribution from a laptop on Windows 10. If you have other devices besides your computer that can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, then you can distribute the Internet even without a router.

No matter how you set up the Internet, you may encounter the popular “Limited” error. When the Internet does not work, and there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the connection status. We dealt with this problem in a separate article.

The article turned out to be long, but it didn’t seem confusing. I would like to fully answer the question posed in the title. I hope you found useful information in this article and connected your Windows 10 computer to the Internet.

You can ask questions in the comments. Before describing your problem, read this article carefully. Perhaps the solution has already been written. Also, look at the links to other articles, there is a lot of useful information on the topic.

help-wifi.com

These instructions are suitable for setting up a PPPoE connection directly to a device running Windows 10. Please note that these instructions are not relevant if you use a router on your network.

Setting up a PPPoE connection for Windows 10 is generally similar to setting up a PPPoE connection for Windows 7 or Windows 8 and consists of a few simple steps:

1. Make sure that the network cable is connected to the device, and there is a connection status indicator in the tray; next to it there should be a yellow warning icon - the network cable is connected, but the connection is not configured;

If a red cross is lit next to the indicator, it means the network cable is not connected or damaged.

also, if you have a wifi adapter, then the icon may look like this:

How to set up internet on Windows 10

Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the life of many people without a computer and the Internet. As technology advances, not only computers improve, but also operating systems. Recently, everyone was happy about the release of the seventh and eighth versions of the operating system, but before they knew it, a full-fledged Windows 10 had already entered the market. Each subsequent version of the operating system is more functional and fresher than the previous one, so users immediately want to install it on their PC. Ten." And then a problem appears: the connection to the Internet is lost. The question arises: how to set up Internet access? We will talk about this in this article.

Reasons for lack of Internet on Windows 10

Let’s note the reasons for the lack of Internet, because it may well be that the “ten” has nothing to do with it, and you should make sure of this. There are several main reasons for the lack of Internet in the top ten:

  • Damage to the network line is the main reason for the lack of Internet. There may be a break or deformation of the cable, or a breakdown in the normal operation of one or another equipment. First you need to call the provider and make sure that everything is in order with the wires and equipment.
  • If connection to the Internet is provided using a 3G modem or SIM card, then the lack of network may be due to poor network coverage of the operator mobile communications.
  • If the Internet is provided via Wi-Fi, the reason for the lack of access may be the excessive distance of the Wi-Fi router from the PC.
  • Deformation of the home network cable or connector - look at the home cable and connector and make sure they are in good condition.
  • Router malfunction - to make sure that the router is not the cause, unplug it from the network for a few seconds.
  • The network card in the Wi-Fi adapter is malfunctioning - you need to restart the PC and remove the adapter from the connector. After a minute, put it back in.

So, we went through various options and through the process of elimination we realized that of the above reasons, none of them are “yours.” Then one thing remains: the Internet connection settings have been lost due to the reinstallation of the operating system. In this case, you just need to check and re-set the necessary settings.

If the problem of lack of Internet access is software and can naturally be solved specifically from your PC, then it can be eliminated without effort. First of all, check the properties of the adapter, and this is not difficult to do. Click on the Internet icon, then select “Network settings”. Here you will need the “Enternet” item, in it select the line “Configure adapter parameters”. A window will open where you select the network you need, then right-click on the “Properties” button, then on the “Properties” section. Another window will open, where you need to check whether there are checkboxes next to IP version 4 and IP version 6. If the “birds have flown”, check them again. The Internet may not work due to failure to receive an IP address.

Internet connection settings on Windows 10

Let’s say you find out that everything is fine with the IP address, all the checkboxes are in their places, but the Internet still doesn’t work. In this case, create a new connection according to the instructions.

On your monitor on the right you will see the “Networks” icon and right-click on it, then select the line “Network and Sharing Center”. A window will open in which you need to select “Create a new connection or network.”

A list will appear, from it select the line “Internet Connection”, then click the “Next” button. The system may notify you that the Network connection has already been completed, but you insistently click on the line “Create a new connection”, then select “High-speed connection”.

A window will appear in which we enter the information specified in the agreement with the provider:

  • Username.
  • Home address.
  • Password.

After the procedure, check the “Fill in password” checkbox. Then in the “Connection name” section, enter any name for the shortcut, and then click the “Connect” button. When the connection is complete, click “Close”.

Now you know how to set up a connection to the Internet on “Ten”, and it’s not at all difficult; if something doesn’t work out for you, contact your provider and call a specialist to your home who will perform all the necessary settings. Enjoy Windows 10 and its Internet without interruptions!

How to set up an automatic Internet connection in Windows 10

Windows 10 is a relatively new system, and not all users can figure out its problems on their own. One of the common difficulties is establishing a network connection.

Internet setup

There are situations when, after updating to the tenth version, i-net stops working. This is due to the innovations inherent in the new Windows. The standard network connection (PPPoE), setting up Wi-Fi networks, and 3G/4G modems need to be reconfigured.

There are various ways connecting your computer to the network. The most commonly used connections are:

  • Network connection with Wi-Fi module.
  • Installing a standard Ethernet cable connection using a modem or router.
  • High-speed pairing (PPPoE) in Windows 10 version.
  • Installation with USB 3G/4G modem.

To start setting up, it's useful to know exactly what type of Internet connection you have.

Features of all types of connections

Ethernet - connecting to a network in Windows 10 using a network cable.

This is the simplest type of connection. If the provider did not tell you the password and login for the connection and the Internet is connected via a cable or modem, then you have the most basic type of Internet connection - Ethernet.

To set up communication with the global network, you need to connect the provider's cable to the modem or router, and the wire from it to a laptop or computer (into the network card cell).

If no “craftsman” has changed the options, the connection will automatically start working. You will see the connection status in the notification panel.

Possible problems

If the computer does not respond to the wire, then you need to do the following. First, check the modem’s connection to the network. Then reboot it. If possible, check the cable on another computer. If it works, then the problem is directly in the computer.

First of all, it is recommended to check whether the driver is installed on the network card. If not, you need to install it (but usually a dozen install drivers on the device themselves), if yes, then reinstall it. It most likely won’t work through the device manager; it’s better to download your computer brand from the official website of the manufacturer. If you can’t download the driver for ten, try Windows 8 or 8.1 - they will do.

The second option is that “unidentified network” may be displayed. Then you need to check the adapter parameters. To do this, click on “network control center” and find in the menu the item “change adapter settings”. In the properties, find “IP version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. There must be a check mark next to it.

High-speed connection (PPPoE) in Windows 10

If you have a cable connection, but the provider has issued information (login and password) that must be entered when turned on, then you need to set up a high-speed connection (PPPoE) on your computer device. It is similar to the Ethernet type, but here the Internet will not work until you enter the data and create a connection.

If the connection was created through a router, then no additional settings are required on the PC. Just connect the cable and that's it.

But if the cord is connected directly to the computer, then you need to configure it:

  1. Open the “network control center” and click on the “create a new connection” section, then “connect to the Internet”. Find the required type in the window that appears. In this case it is “High Speed ​​(with PPPoE)”.
  2. Enter the name and password given to you by your provider. It is better to check the boxes with the “remember this password” function.
  3. Click the “connect” button, and if you did everything correctly, you will receive a connection notification.

Setting up the Internet via a 3G/4G modem in Windows 10

For this type of connection, the first thing you need to do is connect the modem to the computer and install the driver downloaded from the official website of the modem manufacturer. It can come complete with a modem, on a disk. If you couldn't find the driver for Windows 10, download it for Windows 8, it should work.

After installing the driver, you need to connect the router to the computer and start setting up the 3G connection:

  1. Go to the “network control center”
  2. Click on “create a new connection or network” - “connect to the Internet.
  3. You need to select the “dial-up” connection type.
  4. Then you need to enter the data from the provider (name and password) and click “create”.

If you did everything correctly, then the connection will be established.

Good day!

Many users, updating the OS to Windows 10 on their PCs/laptops, are often faced with a situation where they then need to configure the Internet (after updating or reinstalling the OS, the network settings are reset and the Internet connection disappears...).

Of course, a lot still depends on what type of connection and equipment is used in your case. In this article, I decided to consider the most popular options: connecting to the Internet via a Wi-Fi network, connecting with a LAN cable directly or using a router (possibly an ADSL modem is also used), and connection using 3G/4G modems.

Well, let's get straight to the topic...

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network (if you have a router installed at home)

Perhaps the most popular method, which is now used everywhere (even many providers “give” a router when you connect). Moreover, what’s interesting is that not only laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also other PCs are now connected via Wi-Fi network...

As for the connection itself: just click on the network icon in the tray (), in the menu that opens, select your Wi-Fi network and click the “Connect” button. See screenshot below.

If the data is entered correctly, you will see that the network icon has become active; when you hover over it, you will see the message “Internet access” (example below).

With Internet access (OK!)

If you see a yellow network icon status exclamation point (without access to the Internet) - then most likely your router is not configured or there is “old” data in the network connection settings. Let's fix this now...

Help! The topic of setting up a router is too extensive, so I recommend one of my previous articles on how to connect and configure a router from scratch. -

Regarding network connections: to configure them, you should open the control panel window, in which they will all be presented. To do this you need:

  1. press the key combination Win+R;
  2. In the "Run" window that appears, enter the command ncpa.cpl;
  3. click OK. See screenshot below.

Opening network connections (universal method)

Then go to the properties of “IP version 4...” (example below), and set the receiving IP address and DNS servers automatically.

Save the settings and check the network operation.

[Instructions to help!]

The laptop does not connect to Wi-Fi networks- the red cross is lit on the network icon:

Wi-Fi without Internet access (yellow exclamation mark on the network icon is lit) -

Connecting to the Internet via a LAN cable, Ethernet (directly with an Internet provider cable, via a router, ADSL modem)

Ethernet is the most popular data transmission technology. In Russia, the majority of Internet providers use it, laying regular network LAN cables in users’ apartments. At the same time, the Internet cable can be connected either directly to a computer/laptop or through a router or ADSL modem. In principle (formalities aside), this is the same Internet connection: it’s just that in some cases an additional one is used. equipment.

To set up an Ethernet connection- in most cases, it is enough to connect a LAN cable to the network card of your computer/laptop. The Internet, in principle, should already start working.

Note!

1) In some cases, in the network adapter settings you need to specify specific IP addresses and DNS servers (usually this is stated in the agreement you enter into with your Internet provider). Therefore, if you have incorrect IPs “indicated” there, DNS - the Internet will not work (just below we show how to set this up).

2) In addition, for some providers, after connecting the LAN cable, only the local network will work. For the Internet, you need to create a PPPoE connection (more on that in the next paragraph of the article).

By the way, if everything is not in order with your Internet connection and a problem is detected, you will even notice it by the network icon in the tray: a yellow wax light will be lit on it. icon (there is a local network, but without access to the Internet)

In this case, I recommend checking the network adapter settings. You can do this by opening a tab in the Windows Control Panel. To do this, press the Win+R button combination, enter ncpa.cpl in the “open” line, and click OK.

Then, in the network connections tab that opens, select your adapter [* through which you are connected] and open its properties (usually "Ethernet" or "Local Area Connection").

Next, open the properties of the "IP version 4..." line, and specify IP addresses, DNS servers, mask, etc. according to the recommended settings of your provider. In the vast majority of cases, it is enough to set the sliders to automatically obtain IP and DNS.

Setting up an Internet connection (PPPoE)

The high-speed PPPoE Internet connection option is one of the most popular in Russia today (which is why I decided to consider it). To connect to the network, the Internet provider (upon concluding an agreement) gives you a login and password. In general, this is all that is required to set up the connection. Comfortable?!

Note!

Actually, you have to set up a PPPoE connection in Windows in cases where the cable from the Internet provider is connected directly to the network card of your PC/laptop (for example).

To do this, go to: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center . Then you need to click on the link “Create and configure a new connection or network.” See screenshot below.

Then select the option "Connect to the Internet. Set up a broadband or dial-up Internet connection." (see example below).

Then enter your login (username) and password. By the way, I recommend giving permission to other users to use this Internet connection.

If the login and password have been entered correctly, the cable is connected to the PC (and the provider is not carrying out maintenance work) - after a few seconds the computer should connect to the network.

In general, the whole setup goes quite quickly...

Internet setup via 3G/4G modem

1) First, connect the 3G (4G) modem to your laptop/PC and install the drivers. It is best to download the driver from the official website of the manufacturer of your device (perhaps they were included with your modem (and upon purchase you were given a disc)).

You can also install drivers into the system using special software. utilities for automatically searching and updating them-

2) Next, go to the Windows Control Panel (), open the section "Network and Internet", then "Network and Sharing Center" and follow the link "Creating and setting up a new connection or network". See screenshot below.

3) Then indicate that you want to create an “Internet Connection”, the type of connection is “Dial-up” (see example below).

4) Then indicate the number to dial, username and password (these data should be provided to you by the Internet provider whose services you decide to use).

5) Actually, that's it! The connection is ready and you can use it. To launch it, go to Windows settings (via START or using the key combination Win+i) , open the "Network and Internet/Dialing" section: and you will see the created connection. Just click on it with the mouse and press the connect button.

6) You can also find the created connection by pressing the combination Win+R, entering the command ncpa.cpl and clicking OK. The “Network Connections” window should open, where you will see what we created. To avoid searching for it every time, you can place the shortcut on your desktop.

That's all, I hope your setup will be easy and quick!

All the best.

Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the life of many people without a computer and the Internet. As technology advances, not only computers improve, but also operating systems. Recently, everyone was happy about the release of the seventh and eighth versions of the operating system, but before they knew it, a full-fledged Windows 10 had already entered the market. Each subsequent version of the operating system is more functional and fresher than the previous one, so users immediately want to install it on their PC. Ten." And then a problem appears: the connection to the Internet is lost. The question arises: how to set up Internet access? We will talk about this in this article.

Reasons for lack of Internet on Windows 10

Let’s note the reasons for the lack of Internet, because it may well be that the “ten” has nothing to do with it, and you should make sure of this. There are several main reasons for the lack of Internet in the top ten:

  • Damage to the network line is the main reason for the lack of Internet. There may be a break or deformation of the cable, or a breakdown in the normal operation of one or another equipment. First you need to call the provider and make sure that everything is in order with the wires and equipment.
  • If connection to the Internet is provided using a 3G modem or SIM card, then the lack of network may be due to poor network coverage of the mobile operator.
  • If the Internet is provided via Wi-Fi, the reason for the lack of access may be the excessive distance of the Wi-Fi router from the PC.
  • Deformation of the home network cable or connector - look at the home cable and connector and make sure they are in good condition.
  • Router malfunction - to make sure that the router is not the cause, unplug it from the network for a few seconds.
  • The network card in the Wi-Fi adapter is malfunctioning - you need to restart the PC and remove the adapter from the connector. After a minute, put it back in.

So, we went through various options and through the process of elimination we realized that of the above reasons, none of them are “yours.” Then one thing remains: the Internet connection settings have been lost due to the reinstallation of the operating system. In this case, you just need to check and re-set the necessary settings.

Checking adapter properties

If the problem of lack of Internet access is software and can naturally be solved specifically from your PC, then it can be eliminated without effort. First of all, check the properties of the adapter, and this is not difficult to do.
Click on the Internet icon, then select “Network settings”. Here you will need the “Enternet” item, in it select the line “Configure adapter parameters”.
A window will open where you select the network you need, then right-click on the “Properties” button, then on the “Properties” section. Another window will open, where you need to check whether there are checkboxes next to IP version 4 and IP version 6. If the “birds have flown”, check them again. The Internet may not work due to failure to receive an IP address.


Internet connection settings on Windows 10

Let’s say you find out that everything is fine with the IP address, all the checkboxes are in their places, but the Internet still doesn’t work. In this case, create a new connection according to the instructions.

On your monitor on the right you will see the “Networks” icon and right-click on it, then select the line “Network and Sharing Center”. A window will open in which you need to select “Create a new connection or network.”

A list will appear, from it select the line “Internet Connection”, then click the “Next” button. The system may notify you that the Network connection has already been completed, but you insistently click on the line “Create a new connection”, then select “High-speed connection”.

A window will appear in which we enter the information specified in the agreement with the provider:

  • Username.
  • Home address.
  • Password.

After the procedure, check the “Fill in password” checkbox. Then in the “Connection name” section, enter any name for the shortcut, and then click the “Connect” button. When the connection is complete, click “Close”.


Now you know how to set up a connection to the Internet on “Ten”, and it’s not at all difficult; if something doesn’t work out for you, contact your provider and call a specialist to your home who will perform all the necessary settings. Enjoy Windows 10 and its Internet without interruptions!
