PC will connect to phone hot spot but not wifi. Phone connects to wifi
Couldn't find my actual model, site I bought the computer from says it's an Optiplex 3020. Can give the listing if necessary.
My computer is refusing to full connect to the wifi. It is registering that it is there, but when connected, it said No Internet, Secured. It doesn't say this whole on my phone's hot spot, and my phone can connect to the wifi just fine. I was having problems with my wifi adapter before but I am not able to connect with my hot spot so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Is this a good question?

Hello, I have the exact same issue.
I have tried doing a full network restart, uninstalling and installing the newest wifi driver using USB, changing my wi-fi card. Nothing seems to work. Would be lovely if anyone can have a better solution.

If your device is able to connect to Wifi signal A (i.e. hotspot in this example) and get internet, and can connect to signal B (i.e. home wifi) but not get internet:
If you've done those things, have you also tried safe mode with networking?
Hold down shift when restarting your computer. Continue holding shift until after the restart and a new screen will pop up with restart options. On most Windows, Safe Mode with Networking is option 5. Boot into that mode and try again.
If all that fails, perhaps there is some issue where your router does not like that particular connection. Try connecting to your router, typing in your local IP into a web browser (usually 192.168.0.1 on most USA models, may not be true worldwide) to connect to the router itself. Check your router settings to see what it is saying and why it doesn't like your computer.
