This isn't the experience we want you to have, Krista. We'd like to look into this & help you.
Initially, please let us know the AVG programs (name) that are installed on your computer.
Network Inspector scans your network for vulnerabilities and identifies potential security issues that may leave you vulnerable to threats.
This feature checks the status of your network, devices connected to the network, and router settings.
Network Inspector helps you secure your network to prevent attackers from accessing it and misusing your personal data.
Please try restarting the computer once (if you've not restarted earlier) & check if it connects to wifi.
Also try connecting to different networks such as wired, mobile hotspot to check if the issue is with a specific network or irrespective of networks.
Wait, no! It did not keep working after all that! It didn't show the WiFi off, so it was tricky. I don't know what to do.
