    MY Laptop is a Hp Envy-17 3070nr over the past year or so, ive had problems with my internet, I dont know whether it is hardware or software, so I Just posted here. I keep getting the "no wirless connection" yellow triangle in the bottom corner constantly. In my network control center it says the computers connected to the router, but the router is not connected to the internet, which isnt true, because all my other devices work fine.

    I used troubleshoot problems, and it resets my adapter, then say something like "cant connect to the proxy server" and something else about dns, but after a while it comes bakc again, sometimes it happens once a day, sometimes more, but it only ever happens on my home wifi.

    Ive tried using the ipconfig on cmd prompt, updating drivers, messing with my network command center, but nothing seems to work. This is extremley disruptive in my life, ecspecially for a gamer, please help me.

    Hi

    What Windows version and service pack are you using?
    What is the make and model of your router?

    A few things off hand to check:
    1. Have you scanned for malware on this laptop yet?
    2. Have you plugged in a ethernet cable form the laptop to router to check connection hardwired?
    3. You've done the update drivers route I would have taken as well.
    4. When you run troubleshooting when it ends can you take a screenshot of the results or save to a text file and attach [How to attach files]
    5. Do you have the HP wireless network/connection manager installed?
    6. Have you added a proxy server to your connection, or DNS like opendns?

    Just a bit weird with only happening at home, which could be a router setting, so I would make sure no other device is using your internet and reboot the router and on wifi sit next to the router and see how your connection works.
