If you have Wi-Fi but no Internet access, don't despair. You still have the opportunity to use this signal for your needs. The first step is to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This can be done by selecting the desired network in your device's Wi-Fi settings and entering a password if required. You can then use the Wi-Fi network to share files between devices on your local network. For example, you can connect multiple devices to a Wi-Fi network and transfer files between them using protocols such as FTP or SMB. You can also use the Wi-Fi network to play multiplayer games. Many games allow you to connect to a local network, which allows players to play together even if they don't have access to the Internet. Additionally, you can use a Wi-Fi network to stream multimedia content. If you have files on your computer or other device, you can use Wi-Fi to stream those files to your mobile device or TV. So, even if you don't have access to the Internet, a Wi-Fi network can be useful for many tasks. Just connect to the network and start using it for your needs. Some situations may arise when you have Wi-Fi but no access to the Internet. This can happen, for example, when you are in a hotel and have not paid for Internet access, but there is Wi-Fi in the room. In such a situation, there are several options for using Wi-Fi.
1. Use of local network resources. If you have access to a local network, then you can use its resources, for example, to share files with other users on this network. You can also use Wi-Fi to connect to a local printer and print documents.
2. Using applications that work offline. Some applications can work without Internet access, such as photo or video viewing applications, games, etc. You can use Wi-Fi to download content to your device and view it without Internet access.
3. Creation of a local network. If you have several devices with Wi-Fi, then you can create a local network and share files between them. To do this, you will need special software, such as Virtual Router or Connectify.
It is important to remember that using Wi-Fi without Internet access may be limited by network rules and settings, so you should check with your network administrator before using Wi-Fi.
If you have a router and want to use it for Wi-Fi without the Internet, there are a few simple steps to help you set it up correctly.
1. Connect the router to your computer via an Ethernet cable.
2. Go to the router settings by entering its IP address in the browser. Usually it's 192.

3. Find the wireless network (Wi-Fi) settings section and turn it on. You can choose any network name (SSID) and password for it.
4. Check your DHCP (Dynamic IP Address Allocation) settings. If they are enabled, the router will automatically assign an IP address to each device on your network.
5. Save the settings and disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and computer.
You can now connect your devices to the Wi-Fi network you created on the router. This can be useful when you want to create a local network for file sharing, gaming, or streaming multimedia content between devices.
But remember that without the Internet, you won't be able to use your browser, email, or other applications that require Internet access. Also remember to keep your wireless network secure by using a strong password and data encryption.
