Lost internet connection

Need more info.
WiFi connection?
Wired connection?
Is the AP still available?

Make sure the computer wifi feature is turned on.

Wifi connection was re set. No change. I don't know what AP is.

Call one of your grandchildren...they'll fix it.

AP = Access point, is in WAP or Wireless Access Point, aka wifi device you are connecting to.


I've had multiple PCs and MACs where sometimes you just need to do a standard reboot to get the internal computer wireless service to work properly again.

If you have not done a standard reboot, do it now.

Can you verify that the laptop WiFi system is enabled? Most laptops have a hard switch to turn it on and off.

Is it a CG?

Ask you neighbors to see if they can still connect.
If you have a smartphone try to connect with it too.

AP is Access Point (the router that you're connecting to).

Make sure that the "Radio" switch is on. It turns off WiFi and Bluetooth radio hardware when you are on a plane. Should be on edge of laptop, usually with a symbol that looks like an antenna.

turn it off and back on.

Are you in "airplane mode?"

Or, did she hit the WIFI on-off button on the keyboard?
Look for a button with this image on it. Click it. Usually have to use it with the function key:

Ours does that occasionally and we just have to do a reconnect to the wifi point. Then we are good to go. Sometimes the campground or even our home service goes down and we either turn off our home router for a bit then back on and let it reboot and we are good to go again. On this trip we have had some trouble with the campground wifi service such as low signal or can not get address. Yuck.
