If none of those troubleshooting methods get rid of the error message, try resetting your internet. To restart your internet, you will need to reset your modem, or you can unplug your modem and plug it back in after waiting a few minutes. You can also turn your router on and off along with your modem if they are separate, but that is not always necessary.
