Just got the new Pi 3 a couple of days ago. Downloaded NOOBS from RaspberryPi.org, etc. Starts up fine, finds my wireless network, passkey is correct, the little bars next to the speaker at the top right of the screen are blue. Checked the config file and it confirms I have the right SSID, Passkey, country, and so on. However, when I start up the web browser, it claims not to have an internet connection when I type "Google" into the search bar. When I hover over the Wireless icon at the top right of the screen, it shows wlan0: associated with my in-home network and wlan0: Configured IP 10.0.1.44/24. So apparently I have an IP address from my wireless router. What am I not seeing?
Thanks

Re: Wifi not working on Raspberry Pi 3
Found the answer, I think. First, I downloaded NOOBS again and did a re-install. I noticed on the install that the installer has an icon for Wifi network. So, before I did the install, I clicked on it. It asked for my network's wifi password. When it connected to my wifi network, the installer all of a sudden had a number of other packages for potential installation, including a Windows 10 package. Intriguing...
Anyway, after the installation, I clicked on the double-PC icon - which had an x in it indicating no connection. I selected my wifi network from the resulting list, typed in the password, and it all just worked, i.e. when I opened the web browser and typed Google in the search bar, I got Google.
