Resolution.

I have no interest in how many times Beaker posted, what he said, whether he was right or wrong, or even in his newbie role with Win 10 and WiFi is playing with the big boys.

The PC has two means of Internet connectivity. One is by Ethernet cable which connects the PC to the routers wireless network and the other by independently (no Ethernet) tuning in (plugging in) to the routers wireless network.

Only one means of wireless connection is possible, either an Ethernet cable or a wireless network by signal, generally called WiFi, but not both.

My Ethernet connection from the router is providing an Internet connection and a wireless printer connection. Disconnect the Ethernet and there will be no Internet and no printer connection. The PC would need to be connected (plugged in) to the routers wireless network by signal for both the PC to receive Internet and the printer to be actively linked with the PC.

That is why my WiFi is currently showing "no connection", it is correct. I have an Ethernet cable connected system.

AND there is no need to be rude just because one has a million posts notched up, or list a thousand and one previous statements simply to justify a nasty comment.
