If the above methods don’t help, we highly recommend you update your network adapters’ drivers.

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):

1) Download and install Driver Easy.

2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

3) Click the Update button next to the flagged network card driver to automatically download and install the correct version of this driver (you can do this with the FREE version).

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).

* Update or uninstall McAfee

Quite a number of users found that this problem was gone once they replaced their McAfee with other antivirus programs.

It’s still unknown why McAfee would hinder you from connecting to the Internet. But if you’re using McAfee as your antivirus program and the problem just won’t go away, update your McAfee to the latest version to have a try. people found this helpful
