**Specs**  
Windows 11  
model: Laptop 16

**Issue:**  
So I don’t know if there was a last-minute update or if I’m just being silly. My Wi-Fi card can see and connect to the Wi-Fi server, but it says there is no internet available. My other devices are connected to the same server and are functioning normally.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, and I’ve ensured my IPs are set to auto-DHCP. I’m about to remove the physical driver and reinstall it, but I would check in with the community to see if they have seen this issue before and how they navigated it.

Let me know!

Thanks!

Nevermind!

A colleague had installed a vpn on the laptop to access a movie server, and I forgot to turn it off. My apologies for the random post!

Cheers!
