I have just installed my new network adapter for wireless connectivity. I am using TP-LINK TL-WN727N. I installed the drivers from the manufacturers website to get the latest version. The installation worked well but I still have problems with visiting other pages.
Using internet explorer, I cannot visit some pages including google.com. It says there is a certificate error, but when I click "continue to this website(not recomended)", it will then proceed. It shows something like this:
I downloaded google chrome and tried to do the same, visit google.com. It says that it cannot connect to the real www.google.com. Image is something like this
Some things I noticed:
When I hover on the wifi symbol (the one on the taskbar on the right end), it says "Identifying... Internet Access". I wonder why is this so. Normally it should say "<Router Name> Internet Access"
I opened network and sharing center but my computer seems to be not connected to the internet but still I can visit some pages. How can I fix this? Refer to image below:
I am not sure of what the problem is here. I reinstalled the network adapter's drivers and I can visit some pages but not all. Both browsers say that there is a certificate error or an SSL error, and to add to that, hovering on the wifi symbol says "Identifying... Internet Access". I am pretty sure I am not being hacked because I am using a home network.
-- Update: Some ipconfig results --
Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection *2:
Media State: Media Disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Wireless LAN Adapter Wi-Fi:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix: domain.name
ping statistics are normal.
-- Some of the things I already tried --
- Change system time to sync with the internet. I synced my time with server time.windows.com
- Forget my home and reconnect
- Disconnect from wifi then reconnect
- reinstall network adapter's driver
- cleared browser cache etc. (ctrl+shift+del)
- reinstalled chrome
Please help me, No solution to my problem until now. I'll follow any suggestion you make.
--- Update: Already fixed some stuff but still has certificate error on both browsers --- I fixed the problem on network and sharing center. Now it displays my network. I edited the permissions under the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList
Still, I cannot visit some pages using both iexplorer and chrome.
