Help!!! I am connected to my wifi but there is no internet connection

Ok so I was on Xbox and stuff wasn’t working properly so I was looking through forums and saw a post about changing nat settings or something like that. Then I go in my router’s settings and enable full cone nat because it seemed to work for the guy in the thread. I also fiddled around with a few other settings and then, my isp isn’t connecting so I have no internet. Does anyone know how to fix this??

Without knowing what kind of settings you screwed up, I'd just factory reset the router if possible. This will clear all your settings, so you'd have to do stuff like rename your wifi and reconnect your devices to it. Why go further than following what people instructions online were and start changing "other things". Very vague on what you changed. Not to mention messing with certain settings could drastically reduce network security.

Without knowing exactly what all you changed in your router settings I would recommend first resetting it to factory defaults.  If that fixes your problem the try changing settings one at a time.  That way if something you change borks your connection you know what to change back.

first thing I do when internet doesnt work is I ping google.com and 8.8.8.8. This eliminates DNS issues and confirms my router is working. The next step is to check my firewall is not blocking connections that my game wants to use. To do this you want to google what ports should be open for your game.

Factory reset the router and setup your SSID's. Then youtube basic networking principles and the when you feel confident, start messing with router settings.
