ok weird one since yesterday my Windows 11 laptop wont get online on teh hotel Wi Fi: [code] the Wi Fi icon has that little globe and the status says 'No internet, secured'... other ppl around me are fine... i think Windows upadted overnight but i'm not sure. Im not sure where to start: the laptop, the Wi Fi driver, or the network itself, i dont have access to the router at work, so Id prefer checks i can run on the Windows 11 laptop myself first.

yeahhh check whether u got a real address: ipconfig /all. If the IPv4 address starts with 169.254, DHCP failed; teh laptop never got an address from the router. if you have a normal address and a gateway, the problem is further along (DNS or upstream). good luck man!
