    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    The error “This site can’t be reached” usually indicates a problem with the DNS settings. The first thing that you can try is to reset the network settings and check if it fixes the problem.

    1-Click on Start then click on Settings

    2-Click on Network & internet

    3-Scroll down and click on "Advanced network settings"

    4-Click on the "Network reset", then click on the "Reset now" button

    5-Reboot your PC and check if you can access the websites without a problem

    Another thing that you can try, is to clear the browser cache.

    1-Open the browser then press Ctrl+Shift+Delete

    2-Change the time range to "All time"

    3-Check all options then click on the Clear button.

    4-Relaunch the browser and check if the problem was fixed

    Alert: This procedure will delete all cached files including saved passwords and autofill information.

    If the problem persists, it could be a driver issue. Please provide some more details to help identify what is causing this problem. Are you using a laptop or a desktop? Which is the full model of your computer/laptop or motherboard?

    Also, attach a screenshot of the System Information Page:

    1-Right-click on Start then click on Run

    2-Type: msinfo32 and click on Ok

    And a screenshot of the version of the driver installed:

    1-Right-click on Start then click on Device Manager

    2-Click to expand the Network adapters

    3-Right-click on the Wifi driver and click on properties

    4-Take a screenshot of the General and Driver tab

    You can see at this link how to include a screenshot in your post.
