Local Area Connection cable unplugged???

[Silent~Kid]

I have got a desktop computer and am using broadband and when I am trying to connect to the internet then the red cross turns into a blue circle to tell me that it is connected. But from a couple of days, I am not getting the blue circle, the red cross remains and when I click on it, then it will say I am not connected to any networks, I have also clicked on repair and it always says that I have a local area connection cable unplugged. I have also checked all the wiring, nothing is unplugged, I dont know what the problem is going on? Can anyone please help me out? Thanks

Can you try the below things and see if that works:

1. First of all reset the router.
2. After that try to upgrade the router firmware and NIC driver.
3. You can also try to check the network location and make sure it is in private network.
4. Also, you need to make sure this is not multihomed computer.

Follow the below steps and see if that works:

1. Click Start, click Run, type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK.
2. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
3. On the General tab, click Configure.
4. In the resulting dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
5. In the Property list, click Media Type or Link Speed & Duplex or something similar.
   Note If these properties do not appear, look for a property that has the values Duplex and Half-Duplex.
6. Click a specific bandwidth in the Value list, and then click OK.
7. Close the Network Connections dialog box.
8. Test the network connection.
9. If these steps do not resolve the issue, repeat steps 1 through 5, and then click a different value in step 6 until you have tested all values.
