In this article, we will explain what to do in the event that your Internet stops working properly after running a FixMeStick scan. In some cases, the computer will show that it is connected to your network, but is unable to access any pages on an Internet browser like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. In other cases, the computer shows that it is unable to establish any connection to your network at all. This article covers both cases.
