Hi Tablet experts! [View all]

My Samsung Tab A has all of a sudden decided it can't authenticate connection to my WiFi at home. It did yesterday and it recognized the WiFi at the local coffee shop today.
The tablet only suggests I restart my router but I don't understand why, the tablet gives me the little WiFi symbol but when I try to access a web site it says I don't have an internet connection. Any ideas? Should I restart the router? I use streaming for my TV and it works fine, so I know I have internet. I'm stumped! Any suggestions?
