26How to Reset Your Entire Network in Windows 11 and Start From Scratch.
Resetting your network really should be used as a last resort in your troubleshooting process. Before trying it, you should try some basic fixes first. Running the built-in network troubleshooter can often solve your problems, or at least point you toward steps you can take that might help. Windows also includes some good command line utilities that can help you figure out where your problem lies. But if all else fails, or you’d just like to take your network back to the beginning, resetting your network might help.

If you can't get online then resetting your network settings on your Windows PC or laptop could fix the problem, but before you start messing around here it's worth trying to establish where the fault lies.
Can other devices in the house get online? Can you load websites via a different web browser? If the answer to both is no, chances are your broadband connection is down, or the router needs resetting. Try powering off your router and restarting it a minute later.
Alternatively, it could be a software or hardware problem with your computer's network adaptor. Often, restarting your computer will fix this, but you can also make sure Windows is fully up to date by searching for 'Windows Update' at the bottom of the screen.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
