If you cannot access the internet and the network reads the error “Unidentified network and no internet“, your computer is unable to send data. This error can occur even if the computer is connected to a network.
An unidentified network usually indicates that the computer’s IP address for connecting to the router is wrong or invalid. We can solve this problem by manually entering a valid IP address.
In this article, we have listed a other causes and their fixes for an unidentified network and no internet issue.

How to Fix an Unidentified Network and No Internet Issue?
Now that we know what can cause an unidentified network, let’s see what we can do to fix these issues.
Provider Manual IP Address
Error messages like “….. does not have a valid IP Configuration” usually means that the IP Address assigned by the network adapter is not valid. To fix this error, we need to provide the IP address manually.
The network adapter automatically gives your computer a unique IP (Internet Protocol) Address to transfer data to and from the router. However, the network adapter is known to make errors while assigning a device with IP Address due to some unknown reasons.
If this is the case, you might need to assign the IP Address manually to access the internet. To set the IP Address manually, we first need to run the IPCONFIG command to know our router’s IP address. The IPCONFIG command displays all network adapter settings and addresses.
To run IPCONFIG, run the command as administrator. Type “ipconfig” without the quotation mark and press Enter.
The command will display all network configurations,
Now, check forDefault Gateway;this address will be 192.168.x.y. (x and y represent any number from 1 to 253). Depending on the router, the value of x and y will vary. Note this value, as we need the Default Gateway address to set the IP Address Manually.
After getting the Default Gateway address, follow these steps to set the IP Address Manually.
IPv4 addresswill be 192.168.a.b (a is the value of x from Default Gateway, and b will be any value from 1 to 253 except the value of y from Default Gateway)
