No internet

I moved my computer, running Windows 10, from the room with the router, to another on a TPLink adapted.  I couldn't get wifi, so up against a time deadline I connected by Ethernet to the TPLink system.  Later in the day this also failed to connect to the Internet.  I have moved the computer back to it's original location, and still cannot get either wifi, or by Ethernet.   Other devices, lap top and iPad connect to wifi in both locations fine.  Presumably it is settings on the PC ?  Help please.  Thank you.

Does the comouter connect to the network, but not get on the internet?

I would go with John's advice first. Then if that doesn't work, try to disable or remove your antivirus software.

I am getting 'netsh.int' is not recognised as an internal or external. Command, operable program or batch file.
Masnrock, yes connects to the network but not the Internet.

Disabling antivirus, I don't understand.  It has worked with it fine for ever, unless you are saying an update in the last couple of days has first upset the wifi, and then a day later the Ethernet connection?  
Not understanding, this sounds risky?
Sorry, John, you said run as administrator, am on it.
I'll repost the commands that John provided in bold. There is a space between netsh and int, not a dot.

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
ipconfig /flushdns
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache

Sometimes AV will randomly screw up network connections for no logical reason. Could be related to an update of it, or seemingly bad luck. You can always readd the AV software if it does not fix things. The point is solely around troubleshooting, not to leave it off permanently.
You need to run both commands as Admin. Please let us know
Thank you both.
John, the first instruction netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt did the trick.
Very grateful for your prompt assistance and expertise.
Thank you for prompt help, patience and expertise,
You are very welcome and I am glad the problem is sorted.
