Why is there an exclamation point over my wifi logo?

I have updated and restarted my laptop multiple times and it still will not let me connect to any wifis, it only will connect to hotspots.

MacBook Air 13″

From Wi-Fi menu icons on Mac - Apple Support


No internet. This icon is displayed when a router and IP address can’t be assigned to the Wi-Fi interface.


This means you have no internet connection assigned/available to the router/gateway you are trying to connect to.


Try rebooting your router/gateway (power it off / unplug it from power for a few minutes, then power it back on, waiting for at least five minutes for the router to try to reestablish the internet connection from your internet service provider).
