Invalid IP Configuration Troubleshooting

Hey guys

Yesterday night my internet just stopped working on Minecraft and on Google Chrome. And I saw that had a limited connection on my ethernet connection. The modem and router were still working(my iPad is connected to the interwebs right now)

I tried pretty much everything. Set to automatically obtain IPs, reset the ethernet port, checked the LAN settings(everything was normal), reset my PC, modem, and router, and my PC still said it was a limited connection.

And it was until I ran Windows' troubleshooting process that it said that my connection "doesn't have a valid IP configuration". Also, not sure if this will help, but I have a NETGEAR router - N600 Wireless Dual Band Router(WNDR3400). And when I click on the limited network, it says "Unidentified network"
