iphone can't connect to the internet but can connect to wifi

bpb101

Hey all ,
my iphone 3gs was working prefectly. Lately i have been using facebook mesenger and the odd time couldn’t send messages and a few seconds later i would get a message response as failed
however i think this was a facebook problem.(as it happened on my laptop as well)

Anyways im on fb messenger and after about 7 minutes (maybe more) i get a failed message
try it again and about 5 minutes later , i got a failed message

tried google and got no Internet message
tried google on my laptop and its working fine

disconnected from wifi , reconnected. Turned on and off airplane mode .
forgot network , reconnected
reset all network and nope. on off
still the same problem

I can connect to my routers ip , but i can not connect to any websites ip - probably ruling out dns issues



Side note: i never use cellular data and is disconnected
however i just tried to use it and that is working fine


One minute this was working fine ,next it wasn't


Thanks all for the help
