You are on the local wi-fi network, but that local wi-fi network does not have an internet connection.

Think of wi-fi like a bus you can get on, and the internet is the highway. You can get on the bus just fine… but the on-ramp to the highway is closed, so the bus can’t access it. You can still see the other passengers (computers) who are on the bus with you, and pass files back and forth or have a local game with them, but none of you can reach the internet.
