Right, I got the Lenovo G500 just 4 months ago from Amazon and it's been working fine, up until yesterday when the Internet started dropping out and pages started taking a lot longer to load. Today, it won't even let me get on Google.
It does let me connect to the router but from there can't get online.
I have used the inbuilt wireless thing, I've wired it directly into the router and I've tried a USB wireless connector thing. I've even tried connecting it to a different router, still nothing.
Basically, I was wondering if there was something I could do to fix it, or if it's just broken.

Thanks

Open CMD as a administrator:

Then type "ipconfig /release" and press enter.

Then type "ipconfig /renew"

(Do not type the quotes)

If this does not work, make sure your IPv4 and IPv6 settings are being automatically assigned.
