Wireless internet via cable (with TV)
One computer working fine (Win 7 64) but second
computer (win 8.1 - 64) says it is connected
but no site connection is possible.


Forget about the Window$ diagnostics. Can those two Win 8.1 computers
ping 8.8.8.8?


Thank you. That sure is helpful


Maybe those 2 Win 8.1 computers are too far away from the wireless
router... maybe the wall blocked the wireless signals. Ping the IP
address of the `wireless router first (e.g. 192.168.1.1), then 8.8.8.8
for internet.
