When you connect the Internet cable, an unidentified network is written. What does an unidentified network without Internet access mean and how to fix it

You are trying to connect to the Internet, and everything seemed to be going well ... But suddenly you see that next to the connection icon is highlighted yellow triangle with and instead of any information about the connection appeared the inscription “ Unidentified network... Without Internet access ”. Here a reasonable question arises: "Why is this happening at all and how to fix the situation?"

We suggest you stop cursing for a minute and read this article, where you will find the answer to all your questions!

Try restarting your router

This is an option for those who previously had a normal connection, everything worked, and then suddenly a seemingly familiar and "verified" connection writes "Unidentified network".

Perhaps some of the settings of the router itself are lost. They can recover again when they reconnect. To do this, simply unplug the router and then reinsert it.

In addition, you need to check if there is a direct connection via cable. It is possible that the root of the problem lies with the ISP. Did not help? Then let's move on.

Check the wireless settings on your computer

If you have already rebooted the router, but the inscription “Unrecognized network. Without Internet access "has not disappeared, the reason may lie in the wrong settings wireless adapter or the network itself on the computer.

Problems with IP addresses are common, for example when the system is unable to obtain it automatically. If you wrote them manually, then, most likely, specified address is incorrect, or the subnet has been changed.

In this case, you need to check the adapter settings in the "Network Control Center and general access". In the window that appears, you need to select the connection that you are using, right-click on its icon and select the "Status" item. The "Connection status" window will be displayed on the screen. This is what we need. If the “IPv4 address” item contains an address of the 169.254.X.X format, then the system could not automatically obtain an IP address using the DHCP server of the router.

First of all, in this case, it makes sense to try to register it manually. On the bottom of the router, as a rule, there is a sticker indicating the model and brand of the device. On it, you can also see its IP address, as well as data for accessing the web interface (login and password).

Right-click on the icon again, but this time select the "Properties" item. Then you need to select the component "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)", put a dot in the new window next to "Use ...".

Typical router settings

For most routers (with the exception of "D-Link" routers), the following settings should be suitable:

If it appears without access when working with a "D-Link" router, use other settings:

Correct the router settings

Many people, in order to configure a router, exactly duplicate the settings indicated as an example on the network. And often this is what leads to the fact that the computer subsequently displays the message “Unidentified network. Without Internet access ”.

The examples exist only so that users can understand which item of which section of the device menu is responsible for what. You must write your own settings, and not those indicated in the example. It so happens that the settings shown as an example are the same as yours. If this is not the case, it becomes difficult to gain access to the network.

Double-check your username and password. If you missed a character, chose the wrong case or input language, the Internet will not be available. Also, an unidentified WiFi network may appear due to an incorrectly selected connection type.

During the time, be sure to use your settings, and not those offered in other people's examples, then everything will work out.

Update your drivers

Outdated or non-working drivers are also often the reason that a computer or laptop, when trying to connect to the Internet, receives only limited access... The unrecognized network will be able to identify normally when you fix this problem.

Important! Drivers that are not always operating Windows system installs independently, work adequately. A much more reliable option is to download the appropriate software directly from the website of your router manufacturer.

Change the MAC address

You did everything that is described above, but an unidentified network without access to the Internet remained, and you do not observe any signs of life from the side of the connection?

The problem may be related to the incorrect MAC address of the device. However, this is only relevant in cases where all devices connected to the same network are working normally and have access to the Internet, and only one computer or laptop has problems.

The trick is that manufacturers often assign the same MAC address to all boards. If you reinstalled the drivers from the disc that came with motherboard, two devices with the same MAC address may appear on the network. Is this your case? Then you should try to register it manually.

Press the key combination Win + R, and then in the "Run" window, write the command devmgmt.msc. This way you open Windows. This must be done on behalf of a user with administrator rights. In the dispatcher, we need to find the item " Network adapters". In the drop-down list, you will see the name of the device with which the computer connects to the Internet. Click on the adapter icon twice, in the window that appears, select the "Advanced" item. We need a "Network Address" ( network address). Opposite an empty field, check the box, then enter 12 numbers in this field, click "OK" and restart the computer.

Check the firewall

Incorrect firewall settings are another common reason why a computer or laptop gives the error “Unrecognized network. Without Internet access ”.

If the firewall is configured correctly, it will suppress attempts of unauthorized penetration into the network from the outside and prevent malicious actions. However, sometimes it blocks all data streams altogether.

Check the IP addresses that the firewall does not give access to the Internet, among them the address of your device should not be present. It is better to register the entire list of IPs that should be blocked by yourself, it takes a little time, but there will be no risk that your computer will be accidentally included in the list of prohibited devices.

Nothing helped?

Then, most likely, it is not possible to correct the situation without the intervention of specialists. Regardless of which version operating system you are using, whether it is 7 or Windows 8, the unidentified network will be recognized and will start working normally only after the wizard diagnoses all the equipment, repairs it if necessary (or recommends replacing it) and enters required settings... As a rule, such problems are solved within 20-30 minutes.

Hope this article helped you sort out all the problems.

Hi people! I'm sure you're here to find out what is an unidentified network without access to the Internet? If so, then you are on the right track! In this article I will try to explain in detail how to fix this error. You probably just reinstalled Windows? Or have you installed a router and? Well, okay, let's get to the point, otherwise I started talking a little)

Unidentified network without internet access

Let's look at a few reasons why unidentified network... Try to repeat everything as I say and you will succeed, but I want to ask you in advance, where did you buy the ip cameras? And then I want to buy myself one thing home, but I don’t know where to buy it (Write about this in the comments.

After all that has been done, restart your computer and the unidentified network without access to the Internet should disappear from you. I will probably end on this, but if you have any questions - ask them in the comments, well, I will already answer you. Bye everyone!

    I periodically have this problem, but it disappears when I disconnect and then re-enable the connection

  2. anptoly

    I have WI-FI. I look there is an unprotected network, I take it and connect. Everything works. The second network is also not protected, I try to connect, bummer! Why? It seems everything is the same.

  3. Maria Shutova, cosmetologist

    Thank you for such a complete list, Eugene! If such a problem arises, I will know where to look for a solution.

  4. Fields of Joy

    Oh, and with my Internet connection, this often happens. Probably, you need to change the provider.

  5. Alexander

    my friend gave me a username and password from his internet connection, i on my computer, I created a high-speed connection, entered the login and password, everything works, but periodically error 629 pops up, if you need to enter his poppy address, then where can he find it and how can I enter it on my computer.
    Thanks in advance

    Alexander, to set up Internet access on Windows 7 you need (on your friend's computer):
    1. Open "Manage Network Connections". To do this, click Start> Control Panel> Network and Sharing Center.
    2. When you open the menu with the right mouse button in the Connection by local network, select "Status"
    3. Click the "Details" button
    4. The line " Physical adress"- this is the MAC-address of the device, which must be registered on your computer.
    On your computer:
    5. Press the Start button. In the menu that appears, select "Control Panel". Then in the control panel we find the section "Network and Internet" and under it click on the link "View network status and tasks" or click on the shortcut "Network and Sharing Center".
    6. In the appeared section "Network and Sharing Center" on the left in the column, click on the link "Change adapter settings".
    7. Now that you have changed the adapter settings settings, locate the Local Area Connection tab and right-click, then select Properties.
    8. In the "Status - Local Area Connection" window that appears, click the Properties button.
    9. In the new window "Local Area Connection - Properties", click on the Configure button.
    10. Go to the "Advanced" or "Advanced" tab and on the left select the "Network address" or "Network Address" option from the list. In the "Value" or "Value" field, enter the MAC address consisting of 12 characters (Latin letters and numbers) without spaces, dashes and periods.

    The internet works. No dir-300 unidentified network without internet access. Interra internet access. S dir-300 - Network access to the Internet. Without dir-300, he entered all the necessary numbers in the properties and immediately got out the network number. Interra (provider) requires - return as it was (automatic). I ask, from what? The answer is that everyone may have problems with access. Translated as it was -automatic.

  8. nikolaybogdanovich

    Fidain, you can additionally test for yourself: remove DNS-Relay on the computer and manually set DNS server H.H.H.H. (as a separate test), but instead of H.H.H.X, enter your ISP's DNS servers.
    Update the DIR-300 firmware.

    Installed 8.1. Router Wi-fi D-dink. Before that, 7 kept in touch automatically. Now - I enter the PIN code, asks for a password, enter the password ... there is no connection. I turn on all the services for troubleshooting the connection - sometimes it works, the connection appears, sometimes it does not help. After a reboot about five, everything disappears. iHow to set up 8.1 Windows on my wi-fi. what would be included by default?

  10. Evgeniy

    How to do all of the above on 8.1 Windows?

  11. nikolaybogdanovich

    Eugene, problems with WiFi communication on a Windows computer are not uncommon. To understand why this is happening, before setting up wifi on windows 8.1 you need to check:
    1. Equipment malfunction.
    2. Change of connection settings (including conflict of IP addresses).
    3. Viral infection.
    4. Network stack errors on early versions Windows.
    To exclude hardware causes, you need to make sure that the hardware is correctly recognized, and the driver for Wifi Windows 8.1 is installed. To check this, look in the device manager, in the list of network adapters.
    To understand why windows 8.1 does not see wifi and to make sure the settings are correct, open the "Network and Sharing Center" by right-clicking on the network icon in the tray.
    In the "Change adapter settings" section, find your network connection. From it context menu select the "Status" command. By clicking on the "Details" button, you can view the properties of the current connection. More often than not, if Wifi is limited in Windows 8.1, the problem can be found there.
    Pay attention to:
    Description: your wireless adapter.
    Ipv4 address: The IP address assigned to your computer on the Wi-Fi network.
    Default gateway: IP address of the access point - it can be home router, and any other source of Wi-Fi signal.
    DHCP Server Ipv4: The DHCP server is usually a Windows 8.1 Wifi AP, and its address will be the same as the default gateway address.
    IPv4 DNS servers: An access point usually acts as a DNS server, but sometimes you can see other IP addresses in this line, which may belong either to the network provider or to someone unknown (for example, malware).
    Edited Wifi setting Windows 8.1 is here: by selecting "Status" from the context menu, click "Properties". In the list of components used by the connection, select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click Properties again.
    On the General tab, you can configure the connection configuration. Connectivity on IPv6 networks can be configured in the same way.
    In large Wi-Fi networks, it is not worth registering IP addresses manually (select "get automatically", since a conflict is possible (several devices are trying to access the network with the same address).
    If, after checking the settings, you see that there is still Wifi connection Limited - Windows 8.1 may not have been updated since you installed it. In its early versions, a number of network stack errors were noted, which were later fixed by the developers. Therefore, to solve the problem before connecting wireless Internet, you need to install all system updates.

    Hello, there is such a problem, there is a router - a computer is connected through it on a LAN cable .. I decided to draw another cable to the netbook, I connect the connection cable there is no Internet, but there is a computer, As soon as I change the wires in places, then what is from the router to the computer the other to the netbook, I changed them, it worked, and since I want and want to turn on, I even write that there is an Internet connection, etc. ... but still it does not go to the Internet ... help to solve the problem.

  13. nikolaybogdanovich

    Vladimir, in order to configure your router, you need to connect it to your laptop, and open any web browser on your computer. Next, in the address bar of the browser, you must enter the name of the router (it is either indicated on the label under the bottom of the router, or see the instructions).
    After entering the network address, press "Enter", and the router will require you to enter a username / password to authorize the user.
    The username / password is also indicated in the instructions for the router.
    If after these actions an error is issued, then you need to reset the settings, press and hold the "Reset" button on the back of the router for 15 seconds.
    That's it, the router is connected to the laptop and the settings are entered, then you can configure the wired and wireless network.

    Hello! None of the above methods helped. Still Unidentified network without internet access. Everything works on a laptop, but not on a computer. And on the previous motherboard the computer worked.

  31. Michael

    The modem is configured and working. The modem has only LAN ports in the router, only one LAN port, which means we connect the modem and the router via IP. For the 192.168.1.1 modem, set 192.168.1.2 on the router, then select PPPoE in the router, write the provider's login password and save it. DHCP is enabled in the modem. Do you need to turn off DHCP in the router? What am I doing wrong Internet via wi-fi does not work via modem does not work.

  32. Sasha

    Hello, I have the Internet several times a day, I have to reset all the settings (on the back panel, holding the button with a needle), then drive in the settings. After that, the Internet does not work for long, it may work for a day, or maybe several hours. Connecting via a local network, but the wi-fi will also stop working. I put another modem, but things are still there. Maybe a virus? Seven is installed. Help with the answer, I will be grateful.

  33. Denis

    Good evening. When you try to manually change the ip address, the service hangs and, apart from rebooting, nothing helps. Cancel the process too. Ip v6 disabled.

OS users Windows family familiar enough with networking problems. Among them is one of the favorite "unidentified network" aka "Network without Internet access". This is due constant updating network status in these operating systems. So, if there is any problem with the connection to the network, a corresponding message is displayed on the screen and an exclamation mark warning about failures is displayed in a yellow triangle.
In order to solve this problem, you need to go to the network settings. For this:
1. Right-click on the exclamation mark icon.

2. Select from the drop-down list "View active networks"
3. If you have the error "Unidentified network without access to the Internet", then, most likely, there is a problem with the IP address of the computer itself, to check it, you must select an active network connection, right-click and, in the list that opens, select "Status" and in the window, click the "Properties" button. The window will display information about your IP address and subnet mask. They need to be written out.


4. To check the correspondence of the IP addresses, you need to take the router, turn it over (its IP address, username and password are indicated there).

5. Next, right-click again on active network, but now we select the item "Properties".
6. In the window that opens, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" and click "Properties".
7. The "Protocol Properties" window demonstrates the basic settings, due to which the most likely problems have arisen, for elimination you need to enter the following data (according to this example):


The problem is most likely resolved.

You are trying to connect to the Internet, and everything seemed to be going well ... But suddenly you see that a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is displayed next to the connection icon, and instead of any information about the connection, the inscription “Unidentified network.

We suggest you stop cursing for a minute and read this article, where you will find the answer to all your questions!

Try restarting your router

Check your settings wireless connection on the computer
If you have already rebooted the router, but the inscription “Unrecognized network. Without Internet access ”has not disappeared, the reason may lie in the incorrect settings of the wireless adapter or the network itself on the computer.

For most routers (with the exception of "D-Link" routers), the following settings should be suitable:

If an unidentified network without access appears when working with a "D-Link" router, use other settings:

Correct the router settings
Many people, in order to configure a router, exactly duplicate the settings indicated as an example on the network. And often this is what leads to the fact that the computer subsequently displays the message “Unidentified network. Without Internet access ”.

As a rule, such problems are solved within 20-30 minutes.

And more 1. You can do full reset settings network connections, then re-configure the configuration: Press Win + X and enter the commands below one by one:
"netsh int ip reset"

"netsh winsock reset"

"ipconfig / flushdns"

2. You can also change some parameters using the editor group policy... Press Win + R and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes. Open Computer Configuration - Windows configuration- security settings - Network List Manager Policies.

Very often, when setting up the Internet, you may encounter some problems. One of these problems is an unidentified network that does not have access to the Internet.

In this case, you must first find out the cause of the problem. And there can be a lot of them.

The very first factor affecting the fact that your network is unidentified and it does not have access to the Internet is the mistake of the provider, which supplies you with Internet services. And it is worth noting that this reason is very common.

To find out if this is the reason for the fact that your network is unrecognized, you can do the following simple steps. Just plug your internet cable into another computer and check if your internet connection works. If everything is the same, then the reason is your provider.

You can also say with confidence that the reason for the unidentified network lies in the provider, if, for example, everything worked in the morning, and in the evening your network became unidentified and without access to the network.

In this case, there is only one way to fix this problem: call your ISP.

Also, the network may be unrecognized and without network access if you have incorrectly configured the LAN connection settings. More specifically, your local connection's IPv4 data is incorrect.

It is worth noting that there is a possibility of such a case even without your intervention in the network settings. Various virus programs can cause changes to entries in IPv4 protocols.

To check and, if necessary, eliminate this problem first you need to go to "Control Panel"... In the control panel, find the item "Network and Sharing Management"... Go to it and find the item here "Change adapter settings".

After all these actions, a window with network parameters will open and in here you will need to select the item "Network"... At this point, find the IPv4 protocol and click its properties.

Going into properties of this protocol network, check that the acquisition of the IP address and DNS server is automatic. If not, then expose it all.

Save changes and check if the problem with the unrecognized network is gone.

If this does not help, then perhaps the problem lies in the incorrect settings of the Internet protocols in Windows 7. Here you will need to reset the settings for the TCP / IP protocols.

To do this go to command line as administrator and enter the following into it: "Netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt"... Next press the keyboard key "Enter" restart your computer.

By doing this procedure, you thereby rewrite the registry windows keys 7, after which the problem with the unrecognized network on your computer may disappear.

Also, an unrecognized network may appear on your computer if you do not have drivers for network card... In this case, just install the required drivers. It is advisable to download them from the official sites.

Well, an unidentified network may appear on your computer if you insert an Internet cable into your device for the first time. In this case, you will need to set up a new internet connection. It is worth noting that today's providers attach instructions for setting up an Internet connection to your contract.
