Just have a look at the taskbar to see if the network icon is visible without the cross sign. It is always recommended to use a cable to connect to the range extender. In case you are not using the cable connection, you can shut down the main wireless router temporarily. This will ensure that it is not connected to the main wireless network.

Ping Test

It is one of the most useful commands that help to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network. The ping command tests the connection between the two network nodes by sending packets to a host. Then reports the reporting time it takes to get back the response.

Clear the DNS Cache

Sometimes the DNS cache leads you to the wrong IP address. So, you can clear the extra cache, cookies and piled-up history. Flush the DNS cache and force the system to acquire new DNS records from the server. The Firewall present on the computer also blocks the network connection. You can close the firewall or the anti-virus software and fix the issue.

Try to use a different browser

You can try to reopen the browser and open it again. You can also restart the browser and get it back to normal. Also, sometimes a particular setting on the browser causes blockage of reply messages from the network. You can try another browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft, etc will surely solve the problem.
