I assume that you are using network manager (NM) - you do not say. If yes: * what is in your /etc/resolv.conf? * If you see something else than your router just delete the file as root and reconnect to the network using NM - it will recreate new /etc/resolv.conf
Hopefully, things will work as normal after that. Tomas On Sat, 2020-02-22 at 20:17 -0800, John Jason Jordan wrote: > My laptop computer can access the lan, but not the internet.
