    the living room media box shows connected to Wi-Fi but no internet access.

Wi-Fi  •  HomeNet_5G
No internet, secured

Connected, but nothing loads. Troubleshoot problems?

    this happened right before movie night with friends, of course 🤷 i tried forgetting the network and joining again, no luck :) the router was replaced by the internet provider last month, if that matters. im out of ideas and the family is losing faith in me. any ideas before i start blaming teh provider again? any ideas??

    been there man a new router often means a new network name, a different Wi-Fi band setup or WPA3 settings. some older film scanner models struggle with WPA3 or combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. try enabling WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode, or a separate 2.4GHz network name. good luck man!

    ok so connected, no internet usually means teh device got a Wi-Fi connection but couldnt get a valid IP address, DNS or gateway. Check the network settings on the film scanner: if the IP starts with 169.254, it didnt get an address from the router at all. good luck man!
