No internet connection possible
yotoko1901 Posted messages 4 Registration date Status Member Last intervention -
I have two computers: a desktop (recent motherboard and processor) and an old HP laptop, plus an internet connection from Freebox. For several days now, the desktop PC doesn’t connect at all—not via Wi-Fi, not via Ethernet, not using a USB Wi-Fi key, and not by using the phone as a modem. The laptop connects to Wi-Fi but not via Ethernet (or it stays connected only briefly) to the box, but connects via Ethernet through the mobile USB tethering. I contacted Free assistance by phone, who told me that everything was correct (??). Three days ago there was a total outage of the box, new phone line, restoration the next day, restoration the day after, but I still have the same connection problems with the box. I should note that I have a repeater, but I performed Ethernet tests with both connections: box and repeater. Additionally, I have a throughput that seems extremely low for a fiber connection with Wi-Fi 6 via USB TP-Link dongle (57 Mb/s downstream). What surprises me is that this problem occurred at the same time on both PCs. Please enlighten me. Best regards.

Hello,
What does "Une ancienne connexion internet Freebox" mean..??
Does it work or not..?? which Freebox is it..?
Is the synchronization light @ fixed or blinking..?
For the rest, the installation seems quite complicated..!!

Thank you for responding
It is not an old Freebox connection but a normal Freebox connection and an old laptop
The Freebox is a Freebox Pop and the indicators (box and repeater) are steady and white
For my part I do not find the installation complicated: 2 computers (a desktop and a laptop) each connected to the internet via a box

Hi, tat
All of this is quite confusing; we should focus on a single issue, for example the desktop PC on Ethernet, what exactly is the problem?
paste here the result of the command ipconfig/all:
ipconfig/all > ipconfig.txt & notepad ipconfig.txt
copy to a USB drive and paste the contents here via a connected machine.
And there you go, there you go, there you are....
But goodness, how tedious the line breaks are!! -

OK,
The question was to know what the model of the FreeBox is..?
And what is the synchronization/LED like..??
It seems that you are connected by fiber..?
All wireless networks are disconnected... so no connection
It seems that the ethernet connection is recognized "IPv4 Address ....... . . . . . . . . . . . . .: 192.168.1.34" if this is indeed a recalcitrant PC copy..? and not the one of transmission with the Forum..?
And your smartphone, does it connect well to the FreeBox wifi..? and display the WEB..?

As I mentioned earlier, the Freebox is a Freebox Pop plus a repeater, and the indicators do not blink and are white.
I do have fiber that was working without problems until the start of the week.
It's indeed a copy of the problematic PC's ipconfig.
The Ethernet connection is recognized but does not show on screen and the internet connection does not work.
All Wi-Fi media are disconnected:
- only the motherboard's Wi-Fi 6 (Realtek) remains; the virtual Wi-Fi is automatically installed by Windows
- When I connect to Wi-Fi it always shows as connected but with "no internet secured"
The smartphone connects well to the box's Wi-Fi, as does the TV, both over Wi-Fi.
