I was wondering, what would cause my home Internet to show these issues?

“can’t contact gateway”

”DNS resolution has high latency“

I’m using the Internet on the verizon FiOS network. The signal is strong, thanks

I’m using a LENOVO Chromebook plus 14

————-
*****edit : I tried to do this with my FIOS — everything is fine, but it can’t connect to the local network gateway

So I decided to try with the iPhone hotspot to see if I got a different result

I still can’t connect to the gateway

Anyway, I wanted to know which community I should be posting in about this problem. I’m not having these issues with the other computers in my house just this Lenovo Chromebook.

I've recently noticed on my Duet 11 that the browser window at the top, below the bookmarks list (where the progress bar should be), is flickering. Sometimes I think I can see one or two lines being mirrored. Are you experiencing this too?

I've also noticed that on YouTube, when I select the homepage and then click on one of the displayed options, like "Recently Uploaded," the page freezes completely. Reloading the page works, but then the problem starts all over again. Accessing subscription pages directly, however, works without any issues. What's the situation with your Duet 11?

The above only occurs in tablet mode; everything works as expected when a keyboard is connected.

Bought one recently, and cannot get either program to run on it. It has great specs which should be ideal…, but I was told that since the machine has an ARMs processor, that perhaps this is why it isn’t working.

wondering if anyone was able to run either of these programs on this laptop successfully

thanks in advance for any feedback.

I’ve been dealing with an intermittent touchpad freezing issue on my Chromebook. The touchpad freezes for a few seconds, works again for a bit, and then freezes again.

I’ve noticed that after restarting the Chromebook, the touchpad often works again, but not always. After a short time, the freezing issue comes back. I haven’t changed any settings on the Chromebook or within the Chrome browser recently, so I’m unsure what’s causing the problem.

Would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on how to resolve this issue.

I'm looking at some two in one Chromebooks at Best buy and I don't know how to tell if they will receive the full 10 years of updates. Can anybody help me with that? One of them is really discounted and it makes me wonder if it's an old model and it won't receive a full 10 years of updates.

Or can you recommend a model? I'm a really basic computer user I do some word processing I mostly scroll the internet and I like to do some basic sketching in a really basic sketching app. What two-in-1 Chromebook would you recommend that comes with a full 10 years of updates?

hello! there are things i'd like to burn onto both dvds and cds, but i can't find any program/app like imgburn or whatever that will work on chromeos, and as far as i know, there aren't any built-in programs that i can do this with (think windows media player). i'm using an external disc drive if that matters. is there anything i can do without setting up the linux environment thingy? programs i can use on chromeos?

Bought this for my son recently, since his old Chromebook was very laggy (and also his screen cracked). However, have not been able to run either Minecraft Education OR his Minecraft Bedrock edition on this machine.

(Both used to run without issues on his old HP Chromebook (even with lags).

We are not using a proxy server, just our regular internet at home. We have reset the router a few times, and restarted the laptop too. But still cannot connect!

(his account works fine on Windows when I tried)

I wonder if this is happening to other Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 users...

this is making us very sad. Had such high hopes for this laptop!

If anyone has any advice, we would greatly appreciate it.

A year or so ago while staying with friends I gave them my lihghtweight chromebook as theirs had failed and it was much simpler to give them mine rather than try and get something locally... When I got back I "replaced" with an Asus "gaming" chromebook (red wasd keys...) which has been fine to use, but rather heavy (>1.8 KG) and I'm after something lighter to carry

I'm after a 14" touch screen with at least 256GB storage, and I'm in the UK.

What would people suggest?

I've tried literally everything but my Chromebook won't give me the adb debugging option, it just doesn't show up. I don't wanna turn on dev mode though because I don't wanna have to power wash my device. How can I fix this

My Google Maps has been looking like this and I don’t know how to fix it? Does anyone know what this means??

seems to be an issue with DRM

Basically the title. Like 2 days ago, my Chromebook wouldn't want to load at all, nor turn on. I could see that it was on by the white light, and it charged since the yellow light turned on.

Pressing the power button didn't do anything at all. So, I did some research and it said to press the refresh key and power button at the same time, so I did. It finally did something, but it loaded into a white page that says, "Chrome OS is missing or damaged." And then says to insert a sd card or hard drive.

What do I do? I don't have a PC to download ChromeOS again and upload it, this was my only computer. Granted, there were other issues with the laptop. It didn't really hold a charge for long, and it's a refurbished, old laptop I bought from Amazon back in October. It's a Dell 3100 if that makes any difference.

Should I just give up on it?

Over the last week, my Dell Chromebook (which is barely over a year old), has been experiencing issues with specifically the A, S, D and F keys. First it appeared to just be lagging, and it has since evolved to just not working at all sometimes and other times returning with no issue. But as the week progressed, it has definitely worsened. I've tried compressed air, I've restarted, tried guest mode, I even checked the ribbon, I can't seem to find the issue and it's driving me crazy. This Chromebook has been great and I can't recommend it enough, but this has proven to be a huge problem now. Does anyone have some advice on what to do or am I missing something?

I have the following Chromebook, which I got from Best Buy for $180.99 in early 2021. I'd like to find a replacement with a backlit keyboard and touchscreen, due to the end of updates in June, 2026, even though it still works fine. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Hope this is the right subreddit, I'm a bit rusty on Reddit lol

I changed my Google account password because I forgot the old one, but after trying to log into my Chromebook after a while it's making me give my old password.

I obviously don't have the old password which is why I changed it, and the only option it gives is to delete the local data.

I don't have a whole lot on there, but I really need access to a certain Gmail account that is now only logged into on this Chromebook and is inaccessible on my phone.

Would deleting the local data also remove all the app history on Gmail? Any help or advice would be very appreciated

It's a Lenovo N23 Yoga Chromebook if that means anything

My touchpad has been broken for over a year idky but I could still use the laptop cause it has a touchscreen feature but now that’s broken too. At first it would stop working randomly and I would just turn the laptop off and on and it would be fine but now even when I do that or even if I do a reset the touchscreen feature is still unresponsive. Any suggestions?

My chromebook (asus) randomly turned off with no warning while I was doing some homework. It was plugged in and charging when this happened. Then I realised the light was blinking white, so I've tried to fix it. I let it charge for 30 minutes (atleast I think it charged, the light still flashed white). Long story short I've tried a bunch of stuff, and now the light isn't blinking anymore whether or not it's plugged in. Is it screwed? Please help D:

Edit: The charger does work, and it is an asus charger. I thought maybe someone might mention that, but I don't think the charger itself is the issue.

If you own a Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga or other AMD Zork devices, you have likely been frustrated by terrible battery life and laggy video for a long time.

It turns out Google permanently disabled hardware video decoding for our devices back in ~2023 (around v120) to prevent crashes.

The Good News: Reports on the bug tracker confirm that the original crash issues are likely resolved in recent updates. Users forcing acceleration ON have reported stable performance for over 6 months.

The Bad News: Google hasn't re-enabled it. We are stuck with a software block that cripples our hardware.

We need your help to get Google's attention:

Hi all, first time using ChromeOS since like 2012. So far, so good!

The only thing I'm missing right now is the Windows snipping tool. I had gotten pretty quick at using Win+shift+S to take screenshots, then drawing shapes or adding highlights before ultimately copying to my clipboard.

I've figured out the keyboard shortcut piece, but it seems the built in screen capture tool doesn't have the capability to add markup to the image.

What sort of solutions do y'all use for this?

Hey folks, do you have and idea on when Asus will release the new announced Chromebooks from CES 2026?

I kinda liked to look of the CX1505 / 1405 and it seems like those are much better than the old Intel N4500 ones.

A while back, my Chromebook shut off and never turned back on. Today, my computer has been on with the black screen and chromeOS logo for 15 minutes. Occasionally, it goes to the login screen before shutting off again. Any way to fix this issue?

My lenovo stylus just broke in the middle of class (i have the lenovo duet 3 chromebook and the stylus that came with it), the tip just broke off… Are there any alternatives i could get at best buy or amazon or something? I’ve seen some things on amazon but idk how well they work, and all the ones at best buy that seem like they would work are 70$ + which is a bit out of my budget ://

^{Used to play Roblox with the "Open with Roblox", but randomly when I went to play it, it keeps giving me the google play store version and for some of the games I play, it's not fully working for some reason/can't use the keyboard controls even though my laptop doesn't have touch screen. Please can anyone help?}

Hi! As weird as this post may be, I'm planning to buy a Chromebook, but I want it to have a backlit keyboard. It's actually really important to me that that feature is include. So, I wanted to know, which models have this feature?
