There have been several developments since the advent of the internet. With the proliferation of networked computers came the need for improved protocols and security measures to ensure data transmissions and privacy.
Despite these advancements, many computer users still struggle to establish a stable internet connection. This could be due to something as simple as a faulty cable or a need to reboot your router, or it could be the result of a problem with the network’s underlying protocol.
When connecting through Wi-Fi or a LAN cable, a few of customers have reported experiencing the ‘IPv6 connectivity: no internet access’ issue. When this happens, the affected users can no longer access the web.
In this piece, I’ll investigate what’s triggering this issue and offer some remedies that actually work.
Method 1: You Need Upgrade Your Network’s Drivers.
You can manually upgrade your network drivers by visiting the manufacturer’s website and downloading the latest drivers. Downloadable drivers are available for Dell users.
Additionally, device manager allows for internet-based driver updates. However, you are limited to the first choice because your computer lacks an internet connection.
Step 1: Customers with Dell computers should visit the company’s help page.
Step 2: Choose “drivers and downloads” under “support”
Step 3: When you first access the website, you will be prompted to enter your service tag. If you don’t clear your browser’s cookies, it will display the most recently viewed items. You can get drivers in one of three methods. Using the service tag is one option, while automatic system detection and manual driver searching are the other two. To get things done quickly, we’ll be employing a service tag.
Step 4: Locate the battery compartment or the underside of your laptop. A service tag (S/N) labelled sticker is what you need. Simply enter the 7-character alphanumeric code into the appropriate field on Dell’s support page and hit the submit button.
Step 5: Once Dell receives the service tag, they will load the appropriate product. To either automatically detect updates or manually locate your drivers, visit this page. Choose the option “I’ll find it myself.”
Step 6: To get your drivers, expand the network tab. Double-click to launch the update if it doesn’t start up immediately. Just finish the installation as instructed and then restart your computer.
Method 2: Set HT to New Mode
A change in HT (High Throughput) Mode’s configuration may cure the issue, but it’s worth noting first. Several forum participants attest that it has significantly improved their Internet speed and stability. Don’t forget to put it to the test down below!
Step 1: To access the Internet Connection settings panel in Control Panel, press the Windows key plus R. This will bring up the Run dialogue box, into which you may type “ncpa.cpl” before clicking the OK button.
Step 2: It is also possible to access the Control Panel in the traditional way. In the top right of the window, click the View by drop-down menu and select Category, then click Network and Internet. A network and sharing menu can be accessed by clicking the corresponding button. A button labelled “Change adapter settings” should be easy to find on the left side of the screen.
Step 3: In order to open the Internet Connection window, double-click the Network Adapter that is currently in use.
Step 4: After that, go to the top of the window and click the Configure tab. When the new window opens, go to the Advanced tab and look for the HT Mode option.
Step 5: Modify the setting to HT Mode 20/40 or something analogous. After making any necessary adjustments, restart your computer and see whether the issue still exists.
