Android wifi connected but no internet?

My Android phone is connected to my wifi internet but I can't access the internet from my Android phone on Wifi?

My desktop computer and Laptop work just fine on the same Wifi but for some reason my Android phone isn't accessing the internet through my Wifi?

Although your other devices are still able to connect to the internet just fine with your WIFI router the problem usually is with your network itself and to fix the problem you need to do what is called a soft reset of your network.

To reset your network unplug your modem or router and wait for 1 minute and then plug the router or modem back in and let it re connect.

Then once all the lights are on on your modem or router then you can try to reconnect to the internet and the android phone should connect to the internet now.

I've had this same problem and that's what fixed it.

If it still doesn't connect then it might be something in your android phone.

If it's with your phone then you can soft reset your android phone as well.

Take the battery out of the android phone and wait for 1 minute and then put the battery back into your phone and then restart the phone and it should connect to the network and internet.
