    This is one of the most irritating network errors and lots of users face this. Fortunately, we have compiled a list of the solutions suggested by the users who were facing the same issue.

    So without further ado, lets start with first solution:

    how do you want to search for drivers

    If there’s no latest version of the network driver, then you need to select Browse my computer for drivers > Let me pick from the list of available drivers on the computer

    list of all the compatible drivers available on your computer

    You will get a list of all the compatible drivers available on your computer. You need to select the first one in the list and hit the Next button.

    select the device driver you want to install for this hardware.

    Wait for system to complete the installation of the driver. After that, reboot your computer and check if this fixes the issue.

    Following same procedure, you can also install other drivers from the list.

    Sometimes, you have to visit the company website to download the latest version of the network driver.

    Uninstall and Reinstall Wi-fi Driver

    For that, you need to open Device Manager > Expand Network Adapter > Select Default Network > From the menu select Uninstall.

    In the Start menu search type Services and when it appears in search results, click to open it.

    Doing this will open the Services app where you will get a list of all the services running on your computer. You need to look for the IP Helper service.
