Hello and welcome, in this tutorial I’m going to show you a few ways to troubleshoot and fix your internet connection on Windows 10.

Step #1 How to Fix Ethernet With Troubleshoot Problems Step #2 Enable/Disable Ethernet Adapter Step #3 Diagnose Internet Adapter Step #4 IPv4 Settings Step #5 How to Fix Ethernet with Network Reset

Troubleshoot problems

In the bottom right corner of your screen, you have a few small pictograms. One of these is the icon of your internet connection. Right-click on it and select Troubleshoot problems.

For the next method, we stay in the window with the network connections. Right-click on your Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter and select properties.

In the properties window, we are going to double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4. Next, make sure that the option to obtain an IP address automatically is checked on.

In here we are going to uncheck the Internet Protocol Version 4 box and click on OK. Open the same window by right-clicking on the adapter and select properties. Check the Internet Protocol Version 4 box once more and click on OK.

Again, you can try if your internet connection is up and running.
