Google Chromebook not connecting

Options
My Chromebook was working earlier today.

This afternoon, I cannot get any webpages. The dialogue strip in the bottom left corner says "Resolving Host", and remains like that, when I try to click on anything, eg Facebook

I did a Connectivity Diagnostic/Network Connectivity Test.

It came up that DNS-Failed, and Local Network - Unable to Ping Gateway.

The wifi indicator indicates a signal from my BT HomeHub 5, with a signal strength of around 70%. The hub also confirms the Chromebook is connected.

I have tried re-booting it, but still, no pages.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Seems a bit obvious now....worked perfectly, thank you very much.:j

    What confused me re the router, was the fact, that although the Chromebook could not get internet, my iphone, laptop, and Apple TV were working perfectly...and the Apple Tv used the same 5gHz channel as the Chromebook!

    Thanks again JJ Egan
