  1. Another way to see if you are on is look at Windows settings/internet/networking and if online, you should see your ethernet connection, if not, a dialog box will say you are offline. This happened to me earlier this week and I thought my gateway (Verizon 5G) was offline, rebooting/updating, turned out the model was offline and didn't come back up on its own, so had to power off, power on to reboot, and it came back up online. Likely the ping command will be more useful for anything that is not local to you. At least this method I explained will let you know you are online, or not. Being online simply means you can get on the internet, but not always to specific sites and if you can't reach any site, likely you are offline.
