wireless adapter/ethernet adapter media disconnected +no valid IP addresson wi-fi/ethernet config

[charc49]

Laptop stopped receiving wifi signals and showed "No valid ip configuration" message on troubleshooting.

Command Prompt shows "media disconnected" so would not allow "release/renew"

Laptop connected to router with ethernet cable but still would not connect to internet.

Router is ZXDSL931 by ZTE

I appreciate all your efforts and expertise in troubleshooting this issue

Do you have other devices connected to your Network?

At this point I suggest you perform a Reset and check if that helps

Hi Krazy Toad,. Thanks for your help. I hadn't tried a reset, because I thought it might need a connection to the internet, but it solved the problem.  Great.

HI, i'm encountered the same issue. Can you please let me know why this error will happen suddenly? Everything was ok just 2 days ago 😞

Hi, apologies for the delay in reply. The same thing happened with my laptop. One day it was OK and the next day not.

I think it may have been related to a security scan or an update which sensed that the laptop had moved to a new location and web address.  I had a similar problem a year or so ago on a PC, but that was caused by an early update to Windows 10.

My technical knowledge is not good enough to help you with a reason for the error.  Perhaps Krazy Toad, who helped me, can help you.

Good Luck
