Ever since I had PlusNet on May 1st, I've had a problem with my PC. It connects to PlusNet WiFi, but then the globe icon appears bottom left on Windows 11. I can browse the internet, but Windows Updates, Spotify and Microsoft Outlook all think it is offline.
I'm tearing my hair out as I think there is some sort of DNS problem occurring here. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? I've tried everything, resetting the network adapters, registry entries, stopping/starting services, changing from DHCP to static IP etc.
Can anyone help? Machine used to be find with Virgin Media beforehand and now will not work with PlusNet.
Also, I'm a bit peeved I cannot have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz split. That could be a deal breaker.

@theboabmeister have you looked in the network settings and changed the PN network from public to private?

I can check this again, is it against the adapter?

No, you can see it in Network and Internet - just type that in the search box.or right click on the wireless symbol at the bottom right bit of the screen.
