Wi-Fi showing no internet could mean your device is connected to the router, but the router isn't connected to the internet. Start by restarting your modem and router, a simple yet effective fix. If that doesn't work, check for any ISP outages. It's also wise to ensure your devices are within a good range of your router for optimal signal strength. Additionally, updating your router's firmware or checking for device-specific issues can also help solve the problem.
