When a device shows 'connected but no Internet', it often indicates a problem with your Internet service or Wi-Fi signal, not the device itself. First, try restarting your router by unplugging it for a minute and then plugging it back in. If that doesn't solve the problem, check if you can access the internet on other devices. If not, there's likely an issue with your service provider. Contact them for assistance. If the issue is isolated to one device, forget the Wi-Fi network on your device and reconnect, entering the password again.
