No network connection option/unable to detect proxy settings

[cwebb34]

I no longer have the option to connect to the internet on my computer.  There is nothing under Network & Internet settings.  When I troubleshoot on my pc it says that "windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings."  I have tried to turn on auto detect under proxy settings and the computer will not save my changes.  I can't perform any updates because it won't connect.  I've performed a network reset multiple times and nothing changed.  I reset my router and nothing changed.  I don't know what else to do now.
