Issues with internet connection on new pc despite all other devices using the network not having any issues (alien.top)

Hi, I recently built a new pc and have been having problems with the wifi from day one. I am using the included mobo antenna. The pc can connect to the network but once is does it displays “No Internet, secured”. I am sometimes able to get it connected to the internet by turning the router off/on several times but this only last for about an hour before it loses internet access. All other devices (phone, PlayStation, tv) connected to the network have no issues at all so I hesitate to think there’s a problem with the router. I have updated the lan and wifi drivers from the mobo website. Please help as having these issues on a new pc is proper making me irate and I fear my fist may be launched at my monitor with great velocity.

Do you have multiple WiFi bands? Does the problem occur on all bands? I would try “forgetting” the network and try entering the credentials again. I know you said it’s new but one of my older Roku devices could only connect to my newer WiFi node and not the main router so it actually connects to the farther node on the mesh. I could never figure it out even though they had the same login credentials and passwords and on the same bands.
