I have a win11 laptop.
all the windows updates say they are current.
driver says it is working fine.
periodically using both chrome and edge, starting thursday, would suddenly say no internet.
running chromes diagnostic it would say dns servers not responding.
edge would show no internet but running the diagnostics from there show I am connected to the internet but no web pages pull up for either.
I then hard coded the ip, gateway and google dns servers to see if this fixed it and it did not.
if you do the network advanced setting to reset the adapter, the browsers can then pull up web pages for a bit, then something dies and they do it again.
I tried using a wifi dongle and it does the same thing.
works for a bit then boom, dead till I reset adapters.
I disabled the onboard wifi so I know I am using the dongle.
laptop is a lenovo yoga 2 in 1. if that matters.
it is about 2 years old.
any idea what to try next?
