#How To Connect To The Internet Without An Ethernet Port

[hadjiiembercolgatenerdmctillhawk]

ok time for wifi troubleshooting dump (for Windows but the concepts are true for any device)

First, how this happens. Imagine you had a router that wasn't plugged into anything but power, and a laptop with an ethernet port. If you plugged the laptop into the router, you would get a similar message of "connected without internet" but it would show an ethernet icon with instead of wifi icon.

What that error means is that you did, in fact, connect to the wifi. That's layers 1 and 2 of the internet. Trouble is, there's more layers, and you need all the layers to use the internet.

Layer 3 of the internet is the Routing layer. Yes, this is where the name "router" actually comes from, but I digress. This is the layer of the internet that deals with "IP addresses". Where your computer or your phone or TV or whatever normally gets an IP address from is something called "DHCP". Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

You don't need to memorize that. Just know that after you connect to a network with wifi or ethernet cable, one of the first things device will do by default is send a broadcast on the network asking "Hey! Is anyone here a DHCP server?" This works because certain sorts of broadcasts don't need your computer to know how to use the network more than just being connected to it.

The addresses used when asking this are actually 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255. If those sound like special addresses, that's cuz they are. "no address" and "everyone who can hear this". Anyways...

Your home router by default is running a dhcp server on it, so it SHOULD hear this broadcast and it SHOULD respond and your computer SHOULD negotiate whats called a "DHCP lease". This basically is just a bit of information saying "ok so here's your address and subnet size, here's your default gateway, here's some DNS servers, it's good for [LENGTH OF TIME HERE]."

The first thing to check is, did DHCP work? Right-click the network icon, whether ethernet or wifi, and chose "Open Network and Internet Settings".

Then go to the network properties of either the ethernet or the wifi, whichever one you're connected to.

Yours won't say "connected" cuz yall internet is broken but the buttons are still there.

The big thing you're looking for is the "IPv4 address". IPv6 is different don't worry about it right now and usually if IPv4 is broken then IPv6 is broken anyways, if your internet provider even serves you IPv6... ANYWAYS.

If you have an address like 192.168.something.something or 10.something.something.something you probably got a DHCP lease so that's not the issue.

If you have an address like 169.254.something.something then that means that either the DHCP server didn't respond, or it did respond but your wifi signal is so bad that your computer didn't hear the response.

Restart your router, look into changing the wifi channel settings on the router to a less occupied channel, try using 5ghz wifi if possible though not everyone's computer or router supports that, sometimes restart your computer cuz sometimes Windows' networking software does stupid thing.

Also, unless you KNOW you're supposed to be using Static addressing, make sure you're set to Automatic. Someone may have turned off Automatic addressing cuz they're a prankster. Or they don't know what they're doing. Or both.

Well, if you got to this point because you aren't having a DHCP issue, then things get a little tougher cuz the "internet is out and you should call your ISP to find out if it's a wider outage that they're already working on fixing or if it's just you" possibilities start to show up now.

Time for Command Prompt. I promise it's not nearly as scary as you might think.

Alright, time for our first command. Type in "ipconfig" without the quotes, and hit enter. It'll spew out a bunch of text at you, but it's not as complicated as it looks.

I crossed the things in thick red out cuz I don't trust tumblr to not pull some shit, and the one thing in thin orange because it's fine if people see that but it's in the middle of some stuff we want.

Yall have used Discord at some point, right? You see that Default Gateway? We're gonna ping it. "ping 192.168.1.1" or put whatever your gateway is instead.

I'm on ethernet with properly functioning equipment, so my ping delay is <1ms (less than 1 millisecond). Wifi is gonna be higher, anywhere from 10 to 200 milliseconds, depending on your wifi quality.

Also, if your wifi connection is really bad, you may see "Request Timed Out".

If you're having trouble pinging the gateway, you may want to do a ping test. Adding a -w 50 (wait 50 milliseconds) will make the computer not wait long for failed pings, and -n 40 will make it try 40 times instead of just 4 times, cuz we need more data than just 4 tries.

This'll take a while to run (about 40 seconds to be exact). If you get tired of it running or just everything is timing out constantly then you can press Control C (like copying something in a text editor) to interrupt the program.

The big things to pay attention to are the "round trip times" and the % loss.

If your % loss to the gateway is 100% then either your computer is configured wrong and you should check that you're using the right addressing, or your wifi is extremely bad, or extremely rarely your router doesn't respond to pings on its local network. This is almost never the case. Your router probably doesn't respond to pings from the internet for security reasons, but pings from the inside are good for troubleshooting.

If your % loss to the gateway is over 10%, and/or your times are consistently very high (over 100ms or so) then your wifi conditions are extremely bad. Either you don't have enough signal strength, or there's heavy interference and basically your computer and router are effectively trying to have a conversation while at a loud metal concert. Neither of them can hear eachother very well.

There might be something wrong with your internet service provider still; but if you were wondering why using your wifi is suffering even when the internet isn't out, that's a hint.

If your % loss to the gateway is over 1% but under 10% then that's Not Great and you should still look into wifi channelization but it wouldn't stop you from being able to use the internet entirely.

Under 1% is okay, that means it's not a wifi issue.

The next thing to try is to ping a well-known usually-up service, such as Cloudflare Public DNS (1.1.1.1) or Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) or Quad9 (9.9.9.9)

My internet is working fine, so I have 0 loss and while there is some variance (one got 34ms instead of 11) everything looks peachy.

If your pings to one of these public services all fail, then either your router needs to be configured because either 1. it wasn't set up in the first place (you would not believe how many people I take calls from that have this issue) or 2. it factory reset itself for some reason (some people think that rebooting the router means use the reset button. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT.) and you need to pay attention cuz if it happens again that may mean ur router is screwed.

Or, there's an actual service outage, and you should call your ISP to find out if it's just you, or if it's a general outage and they're already working on it and all you can do is hurry up and wait.

And... that's it. There are other weirder issues that you can have, sure. As long as this post is, explaining some of those issues would take even longer. And I would LOVE to explain some of them. But this post is already more than long enough, and it covers the vast majority of cases.

Thank you for reading and good luck!

when the wifi says "connected without internet" how about i fucking kill you

What is Network LAN, MAN, and WAN Explained

In today’s connected world, everything we do online is powered by computer networks. Whether you're streaming videos, working remotely, or browsing social media, you’re interacting with different types of networks. This article explains what a network is, the differences between LAN, MAN, and WAN, and the role of Port 53 in making it all work.

What is a Network?

A network is a system where two or more computing devices (like computers, servers, or mobile devices) are connected to share information and resources. These connections can be wired (using cables) or wireless (like Wi-Fi).

Benefits of a Network:

File and resource sharing

Centralized data access

Enhanced communication (emails, chats)

Internet access

Types of Computer Networks

Networks are classified based on their coverage area, purpose, and ownership. The three most common types are:

1. LAN (Local Area Network)

A Local Area Network (LAN) connects devices in a limited area like a home, office, or school.

Features of LAN:

Small geographic range (a few hundred meters)

High-speed data transfer (up to 10 Gbps)

Managed by a single organization

Can be wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi)

Examples:

Office computers connected to a printer

Home Wi-Fi connecting phones, laptops, and TVs

Keyword use: LAN is the most common type of network used in homes and small offices.

2. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) spans a city or a large campus. It connects multiple LANs within the same geographical region.

Features of MAN:

Covers areas from 5 to 50 km

Higher bandwidth than WAN

Often managed by ISPs or government bodies

Used for connecting university campuses, hospitals, or city infrastructure

Keyword use: MAN is larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, ideal for linking buildings in a city.

3. WAN (Wide Area Network)

A Wide Area Network (WAN) connects devices over a broad area—often across cities, countries, or even globally.

Features of WAN:

Covers hundreds or thousands of kilometers

Slower speeds compared to LAN and MAN

Uses leased telecom lines and satellite links

Most complex and expensive to maintain

Examples:

The Internet (the world’s largest WAN)

Corporate networks connecting branch offices worldwide

Keyword use: A WAN connects multiple LANs and MANs together across long distances.

Understanding Port 53 and Its Role in Networks

Every network, whether it's LAN, MAN, or WAN, relies on DNS (Domain Name System) to convert human-readable website names (like example.com) into IP addresses. This process is powered by Port 53.

What is Port 53?

Port 53 is the port used by DNS services.

DNS queries usually use UDP Port 53.

For larger queries or zone transfers, TCP Port 53 is used.

Without Port 53, you wouldn't be able to visit websites by name—only by IP address.

Keyword use: Port 53 is essential in every network type for resolving domain names into IP addresses.

LAN, MAN, WAN & Port 53: How They Work Together

In a LAN, Port 53 is used by local DNS servers to resolve websites for connected devices.

In a MAN, organizations may use dedicated DNS infrastructure over Port 53 to support larger, campus-wide networks.

In a WAN, DNS services over Port 53 are crucial for accessing global web resources.

Keyword integration: Whether you're connected to a LAN, MAN, or WAN, Port 53 plays a critical role in translating domain names and enabling smooth network communication.

Conclusion

Understanding what a network is and the differences between LAN, MAN, and WAN is foundational for anyone interested in IT or digital communications. Each network type serves a specific purpose, and behind them all, essential services like DNS via Port 53 keep things running smoothly. As technology continues to evolve, so does the importance of networking and the protocols that support it.

Oh my fucking gosh I’m so incredibly vaguely happy a little bit

So, yesterday (or maybe the day before) my dad disconnected my iPad from the internet (it is the ONLY place I can access Tumblr, Reddit, and a few other VERY IMPORTANT TO ME APPS). His logic is that we’re doing an (involuntary) experiment to see if less unregulated internet access will improve the completion of my schoolwork at home (I’ve spent hours on end using this thing almost every day recently). He doesn’t know, however, that I DO schedule homework time, and I work on it during that time, and it’s quite a while I have scheduled too. I just get burnt out after a while, and need to stop, which usually happens later in the day. This is when I go to my iPad, and end up spending hours chatting on Discord, scrolling Reddit and Tumblr, and other things. A big thing here is scrolling Tumblr. Tumblr is where I feel the most free to be myself, in terms of what I reveal about my personal self, as well as letting my filter thin a bit (this is the only place I swear). Tumblr is ALSO where I’m trying to find help with identifying my own identity (see my pinned post. Please.), which unfortunately, in my case is something that I both have little to no knowledge of, and there’s no one who I know can help me with it. I’m not in any spaces that have a whole lot of information on it either.

It all ended up being a really stressful thing for me, and I genuinely felt like hurting someone (not myself) at times. That was a big problem, because I know a lot of ways to cause significant damage to someone without using any weapons, and even a weapon-less way to kill a person. Fortunately, I only drew about stabbing someone instead (see vent art below. Tw: blood, stab wound), and that calmed me down a bit.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my dad, but sometimes he does stupid shit with no good reason that just fucks me up in ways I don’t know he understands. I’ve told no one about my trans thing except for whoever reads my blog, my friends in a Discord server, and an IRL friend who knows I’m a furry, so no one in my immediate family even knows about it or why this is such an issue to me.

ANYWAY, you’re probably wondering how I got internet access back. A while ago, my dad bought me a USB port to Lightning cable adapter, so that I could use it in conjunction with an Ethernet port to USB cable adapter and an Ethernet cable to connect to the house’s internet non-wirelessly. We only have Ethernet ports in the living room, so I’d have to be in the open to be on my iPad, and not hiding away in my room. Dad had me find the initially mentioned adapter to connect to the internet, which took a few days. I’ll be trying to find wireless ways to reconnect it (hotspots are off the table btw), but for now at lest, I have tumblr back. And once again, I have no idea how close I am to violence.

I am NOT okay lmao

Have a nice day <3<3<3

How Powerline Adapters Improve Your Home's Network Performance: Your Key to Effortless Travel

In today’s digitally connected world, a reliable and fast home network is crucial. Whether you're working from home, streaming your favorite shows, or gaming online, slow or unreliable Wi-Fi can be a frustrating experience. Fortunately, one solution that’s becoming increasingly popular is the powerline adapter. These small, affordable devices can significantly improve your home’s network performance by using your existing electrical wiring to create a robust, wired internet connection throughout your house. In this blog post, we’ll explore how powerline adapters work, their benefits, and why they’re a game-changer for effortless connectivity—especially when traveling or moving between rooms in your home.

What is a Powerline Adapter?

A powerline adapter is a networking device that allows you to extend your internet connection by utilizing the electrical wiring in your home. Essentially, it converts your electrical outlets into network ports, giving you a stable, high-speed internet connection anywhere there is an electrical socket. This is especially useful in homes where traditional Wi-Fi signals can struggle to reach certain areas due to walls, floors, or other obstructions.

The basic setup involves two adapters: one is plugged into a power socket near your router and connected via Ethernet cable, while the second adapter is plugged into another socket wherever you need the connection. The data is transmitted over the electrical wiring between these adapters, ensuring a fast and stable connection without needing to run long Ethernet cables through your home.

How Do Powerline Adapters Work?

At their core, powerline adapters take advantage of the electrical wiring that already runs throughout your home. Here's a simplified overview of how they work:

Signal Transmission: The first powerline adapter connects to your router via an Ethernet cable and plugs into a nearby electrical outlet. It converts the internet signal from your router into electrical signals that can travel through the wires.

Signal Reception: The second adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet in the room where you need a connection. It receives the electrical signals, converts them back into data, and sends them to your device via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Dual-band Support: Many modern powerline adapters also support both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, allowing you to connect devices wirelessly in areas where your Wi-Fi signal might be weak.

Benefits of Using Powerline Adapters

There are numerous advantages to using powerline adapters over traditional Wi-Fi routers or even mesh Wi-Fi systems. Here’s why you should consider upgrading your home network with a powerline adapter:

1. Improved Speed and Stability

One of the most significant benefits of powerline adapters is the improvement in internet speed and stability. Wi-Fi signals are prone to interference from walls, furniture, and other devices that can weaken the signal. Powerline adapters bypass this issue by sending data over the electrical wires, which are generally less prone to interference.

With a powerline adapter, you can achieve speeds comparable to a wired Ethernet connection, which is much more stable and reliable than Wi-Fi. This is particularly beneficial for tasks that demand high-speed internet, such as streaming in 4K, online gaming, or large file downloads.

2. Easy Setup and Convenience

Setting up a powerline adapter is incredibly simple. You don’t need to drill holes or install additional cables. Just plug one adapter into a socket near your router, connect it to the router with an Ethernet cable, and plug the second adapter into any socket where you need better connectivity. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a stronger and more reliable internet connection in rooms that previously had weak Wi-Fi signals.

3. Cost-Effective Solution

Powerline adapters offer a more affordable alternative to mesh Wi-Fi systems. While mesh networks are great for large homes or offices, they can be expensive and require multiple units to cover the entire space. Powerline adapters, on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive and still provide excellent coverage in areas where Wi-Fi struggles.

4. No Need for Additional Wi-Fi Extenders

Wi-Fi extenders can be helpful in boosting a Wi-Fi signal, but they often degrade speed and don’t provide the same level of reliability as a wired connection. Powerline adapters, however, offer an internet connection as stable as Ethernet, meaning you won’t need to rely on additional devices to extend your signal. Whether you're in the basement, upstairs, or in a room with thick walls, powerline adapters ensure consistent performance.

5. Ideal for Travel or Large Homes

For people who travel frequently or live in large homes, powerline adapters are incredibly convenient. They provide easy access to the internet regardless of where you are in the house, making them perfect for connecting multiple devices without worrying about weak Wi-Fi signals. Even when you're moving between rooms, you won’t have to worry about losing your connection or dealing with spotty coverage.

Powerline Adapters for Effortless Travel

For those who frequently travel or work remotely, staying connected to the internet can be a challenge. Powerline adapters make it easier to maintain a stable connection, whether you're at home or in a temporary living space like an Airbnb, hotel, or vacation rental. By carrying a portable powerline adapter, you can ensure that you'll always have a reliable and fast internet connection as long as you have access to a power outlet.

If you’re in a rental property and the Wi-Fi connection is subpar, a powerline adapter could be your solution. Just plug it in, connect it to the router, and you'll be able to use the internet with minimal hassle, whether you're working remotely or streaming your favorite shows in comfort.

Conclusion

In summary, powerline adapters are a fantastic solution for improving your home’s network performance. They offer an easy, cost-effective way to extend internet coverage, boost speed and stability, and eliminate Wi-Fi dead spots. Whether you're at home or traveling, powerline adapters ensure you stay connected effortlessly. With their straightforward setup and reliable performance, powerline adapters are a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their home network experience.

How to Choose the Best Router for Your Home Network Needs

A good router is essential for a smooth online experience, but there are so many on the market that it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you. This guide will help you select a router that offers high speeds, excellent coverage and the extra features your home network needs.

Before diving into the features, let’s explore how xFi Complete can enhance your internet experience.

Budget

The router you buy is a critical component of your home network. It connects to your ISP via Ethernet and manages data transfer between your devices. That's why the brand and price of the router you choose is essential. A good router can boost Wi-Fi speeds, provide quality service options, and protect your privacy with parental controls.

If your ISP offers a gigabit router, it is ideal. This router type provides higher throughput for large file transfers between wired devices like computers, NAS drives, and smart-home systems. You should also consider the number of ports a router has. Most routers have four Ethernet ports connecting devices like smart TVs and gaming consoles to the Internet. It would be best to look for a router with USB ports to connect printers and storage to the network.

If you plan to use the router for gaming or streaming, look for one with MU-MIMO technology. This feature increases Wi-Fi speed by using multiple antennas to transmit data. It also improves reliability and reduces lag times between the router and connected devices. Look for a router with parental controls, too, to block access to websites and apps you don't want kids to see. If you have a larger house or thick walls, consider adding a mesh Wi-Fi system or router extender to improve coverage.

Compatibility with ISP

If you’re switching to a new ISP or already have a cable modem and router combo, ensure the device is compatible with your internet service. This ensures you can utilize the full speed of your service (if it’s advertised) without the device slowing down your connection. If you’re moving to a new ISP, the provider should have a list of approved routers.

Another critical factor is the router’s maximum speed. You want a device that can handle your internet service’s maximum speed and have enough ethernet ports to support wired devices like desktop PCs, network-attached storage (NAS) drives, or home automation hubs. Depending on your needs, you may also want to look for a router that supports link aggregation. This feature combines two gigabit Ethernet LAN ports into one and improves performance for large file transfers.

Other features to consider include beam-forming, which focuses wireless signals in a single direction to improve your connection with the router and individual devices. Mesh Wi-Fi systems use multiple devices to cover larger homes, which can be an excellent solution if you have dead spots in your house. These are typically more expensive than standalone routers, but they offer a high-performing network and may save you money on equipment rental fees in the long run.

MU-MIMO

MU-MIMO is one of the more essential features to consider when buying a router. It allows multiple devices to connect simultaneously, resulting in faster download speeds and fewer Wi-Fi problems. It also increases the range of your wireless signal, ensuring a strong and reliable connection throughout your home.

If your current router doesn't support MU-MIMO, it's worth upgrading to a model that does. However, you'll want to ensure that your devices are also MU-MIMO compatible. Otherwise, the technology won't be fully utilized.

Another feature to look for is link aggregation, which helps increase your network's overall speed. This technology works by connecting two gigabit Ethernet LAN ports on your router to create a single virtual port capable of handling up to 2Gbps of data. It's a great option to transfer large files, such as movies or music, over your network.

Finally, you'll want to ensure that the router you choose supports Quality of Service (QoS). This feature lets you prioritize different devices or activities, reducing the risk of choppy video calls during work meetings or lagging gaming sessions. This is especially useful if you live with roommates or other family members who use the internet regularly. You can also use QoS to prioritize specific applications or services.

Range

When choosing a router, consider how far you want it to reach your home. For better range, you can buy a mesh Wi-Fi system or a standalone router. Ideally, placing your router somewhere central in your house, such as the living room or kitchen, would be best. This will help prevent dead spots. Putting your router in a closet or other small area will only limit its coverage.

Most quality routers will indicate how much they can cover on the box. However, you should note that these numbers are often theoretical maximums or lab test results. Routers rarely, if ever, reach these speeds in real-life situations.

Many routers are dual-band, connecting to devices with two different frequencies. These frequencies are typically 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This can be enough for most people, but you should opt for a tri-band router if you have multiple devices that need high bandwidth. These routers provide an additional 5 GHz frequency for more devices to use simultaneously without impacting speed.

Other features that can improve your router’s performance include beamforming and QoS (quality of service). These technologies focus the router’s signals on individual devices, improving their connection to the router. This can be especially helpful when you have a lot of streaming or online gaming.
