If you are seeing the “No Internet, Secured” Wi-Fi error, it means your device is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi router but cannot access the internet. This is a very common issue on Windows 10, Windows 11, Android phones, and laptops, and it usually happens because of incorrect network settings, DNS problems, VPN or proxy conflicts, outdated drivers, or router-related issues. Below is a complete, practical guide with all working methods explained clearly so you can fix the issue step by step.
Restart Router and Device
Turn off your router or modem using the power button. Unplug it from the power source and wait for 30–60 seconds. Plug it back in and turn it on. Restart your PC, laptop, or mobile phone, then reconnect to Wi-Fi. This clears temporary network glitches and refreshes the internet connection.
Forget Wi-Fi Network and Reconnect
Open Wi-Fi settings, select your connected network, choose Forget, then reconnect again by entering the Wi-Fi password. This resets corrupted network profiles that often cause the “No internet, secured” error.
Run Network Troubleshooter (Windows)
Open Settings, go to Network & Internet, select Status, click Network Troubleshooter, and let Windows automatically detect and fix network issues. This tool can repair common IP, adapter, and DNS problems.
Disable and Enable Wi-Fi Adapter
Open Control Panel, go to Network and Sharing Center, click Change adapter settings, right-click on Wi-Fi, select Disable, wait a few seconds, then select Enable again. This refreshes the wireless adapter connection.
Reset IP Configuration and Flush DNS
Open Command Prompt as administrator and run these commands one by one:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
Restart your system after running the commands. This fixes IP address conflicts and DNS resolution errors.
Change DNS Server Address
Open Network Adapter Settings, right-click Wi-Fi, select Properties, open Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), choose Use the following DNS server addresses, set Preferred DNS to 8.8.8.8 and Alternate DNS to 8.8.4.4, then save changes. Using Google DNS often restores internet access instantly.
Turn Off Proxy Settings
Open Settings, go to Network & Internet, select Proxy, turn Off the option Use a proxy server, and ensure Automatically detect settings is turned On. Proxy misconfiguration is a very common reason for “No internet, secured” errors.
Turn Off VPN
If you are using any VPN app or browser VPN, turn it Off completely and reconnect to Wi-Fi. VPNs can block or misroute internet traffic, especially on unstable networks.
Check Correct Date and Time
Open Date & Time settings, enable Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically. Incorrect system date and time can break secure internet connections and cause this error.
Update or Reinstall Wi-Fi Driver
Open Device Manager, expand Network adapters, right-click your Wi-Fi adapter, choose Update driver, or uninstall the driver and restart your system so Windows reinstalls it automatically. Outdated or corrupted drivers frequently cause connectivity issues.
Temporarily Disable Firewall or Antivirus
Turn off any third-party firewall or antivirus temporarily and check if the internet starts working. Some security tools mistakenly block network access. If the internet works, add Wi-Fi as a trusted network in the security app.
Reset Network Settings (Last Option)
Open Settings, go to Network & Internet, select Advanced network settings, click Network reset, and confirm. This will remove all saved Wi-Fi networks and adapters and restore default network settings. Reconnect to Wi-Fi after the restart.
If the “No internet, secured” issue happens on multiple devices connected to the same Wi-Fi, the problem is most likely with your router or ISP, and you should contact your internet service provider. If you want, I can also provide Windows 11 only, Android only, or router-specific fixes in a simple step-by-step format.
