Connected to Internet but can t download anything?

My computer can t download anything anymore. I keep trying to update graphics card and I get "can t connect to NVIDIA check your Internet connection" but the signal strength is 5/5 bars. I can t download games or patches, I can t install Google Chrome.

This just recently started happening. Please tell me what system information you need to help and I give details.

    the signal strength means you are connected to a wireless network, probably via a wireless router/modem it doesn't necessarily mean the router is connected to the internet, try resetting the modem / router by turning it off for a minute and then turn it back on, after five minute reboot your PC
