How can I connect my Android emulator to the internet, e.g. to use the browser? I\'ve found lots of advice on what do to when your connected through a proxy, but that\'s not
I solved it my disabling all network connections except the wifi connection I was using, then setting the properties on that one remaining enabled connection to have statically assigned DNS addresses. (no DHCP) This was on Win7 64bit
Have you tried starting the emulator with administrative privileges? It worked for me, I'm running Windows 7 64bit)
My Service Order preferences were correct (Wi-Fi was first) but still could not connect.
Answer was to turn off the Thunderbolt Bridge:
System Preferences > Network > Thunderbolt Bridge
Then set Configure IPv4 to off and Apply your changes.
No need to screw around with Access Points in the emulator.
There are different solutions to this problem . One of these , i will show you on my experiment and outcomes seen on results using a recent android studio and AVD images downloaded 2017.
First thing you have to do is launch your AVD from android studio.(in my case i choose NEXUSAPI25 android 7.1 image)
Goto Settings->Wirless and Networking - > Cellular Network - > Access Points -> (+) press add - > enter the following if you dont have NTLM proxy or proxy at all (that means you are directly connected)
a. add apn name as myAPN b. add apn server => www c. save and try browsing the internet.
if this doesn work add 'ANDROID_SDK_ROOT' in you environment variable
Then , launch AVD using emulator command as follow
emulator -avd Nexus25 -dns-server 8.8.8.8
For those who use NTLM proxies , i will show you how it work for me next.
add your Android_sdk_root path into your environment variable. THis make command line code read succesfully like using AVD names and so on.
Launch your emaulator using the following command
>emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_25 -http-proxy http://username:password@ipaddress:port
ENTER
I had similar problem. I have installed an application that required INTERNET permission (and used it), and all of sudden, worked.
Guys, check also whether if you are not connected through a VPN somewhere, because it also can disturb the Internet connection.

yes--in win 7 start the emulator with administrator privs and all will be well--or at least you'll get the wireless going in android.
