WiFi Connected, and Ethernet but NO INTERNET

[Naterr]

ASUS X541N Laptop can connect to any WiFi network, and connect to a network via Ethernet but there is still no internet access.

IPCONFIG shows a loop IP (169...) so it's not gaining an IP

Network and Sharing lists networks as "Unidentified Network"

I went through trouble shooter, and some commands through CMDprompt but nothing.

Any other suggestions?

 

UPDATE: It is Windows 10

WiFi/LAN drivers up to date?

Didn't have time to do that with them when I was there, so I am working on that now.

I am also uninstalling McAfee that was on here that prevented me from working on the firewall.

I'll keep the post updated after I update drivers.

Yup

Welp... driver updates did no good (downloaded straight from ASUS website), ran through more commands through CMDprompt (netsh ip and winsock commands) and that didn't work. 

I then booted the machine back up, and uninstalled another security app called Webroot, and uninstalled the Qualcomm adapter at the same time (I think) and rebooted the machine a 4th or 5th time and we're up and running!

Don't know which one fixed it, but were good.

 

I also downloaded Malawarebytes (Free) and updated their Windows Defender rules, and uninstalled all their old antivirus junk and will explain why MB and Windows defender is the way to go.

They should be good for web browsing and gaming and all the essentials!

Err...be prepared for Malwarebytes to finish its trial and start annoying you endlessly to pay money for premium, you will also have to go through considerable trouble to remove it.

I've had nothing but  good with MB. I've always used the free. I don't normally do scans until I feel something suspicious, and they do let me know about paid services, which is a given. May had bad experience with Windows 10 notifications which I disabled some of the apps to be able to do that.

When you say you tried using command prompt tools, which ones did you use exactly? Did you use the '/release' then '/renew' commands? It still didn't work?

You can cancel the trial immediately after install. That’s what I always do. Then it shouldn’t bug you as much.

I don’t think any worked but I did run those, and “netsh int ip reset”, and “netsh winsock reset”
