After reinstalling Windows 10, no Internet issues.

Original title: wireless issues. No internet.

I have this windows 10 upgraded from windows 7.. At first everything was working great... Then due to some issues I had to clean install windows 10 on my pc... Reinstalled all drivers... Then the problem started... My pc gets connected to the WiFi router. But I don't get any internet... I updated all the drivers from device manager... Still its not working... So I tried another option. I switched on internet sharing in my phone... It got connected and even got internet... So is it like issue with my network adapter or with the WiFi router? Any solution for both? I run a dell inspiron N5110 pc.

Thanks Amarjeet for your reply...

I don't recieve any error component related to the issue. As I said before my pc gets connected to my phone when I switch on tethering and hotspots. And even get internet in my pc when I connect it to my phone. But when connect it to the router the problem occurs. I did the first method you told. That is troublshooting. And it showed that problems found were " one or more network protocols are missing on this computer" and it is not fixed... Now I don't know what does that mean... Any solutions.. ? I tried the second method too but for that I think I need to consult with my ISP. Because I don't know what are numbers that I should give.. In method one when I tapped on troublshooting report it showed under one or more missing network protocols it says " windows aockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing" what should I do now?

                    My pc gets connected to the WiFi router.

This may be an important detail.  For example, in my case it meant connecting using my ISP's DHCP built into its locked down modem.  A problem is that that does not support IPv6.  Apparently a lot of ISP's are still at that stage in the transition between IPv4 and IPv6.  My solution was to turn off the DHCP in the modem.  (Thankfully I did have enough control to do that.)   And then link it to my Dlink router which I then started letting do DHCP (instead of just bridging what addresses the modem wanted to give it.)  Sounds like your phone solution may be a variation of mine.  In each case we would be avoiding old networking infrastructure with newer which would support IPv6 local networking.  I do not know what has happened to IPv6 local networking in recent W10 updates, something obviously.  Ditto for local networking in general.
