HELLLLP!! Says wifi connected to network but cannot get on internet!!!

[Gaylee Tega]

Hello all I am sending out a desperate plea for assistance!

This situation is making a difficult life even more frustrating...
I have a Samsung 3 SCH-I535 (verizon) although I do not have carrier service and haven't for 13 months now. I use my phone on wifi. On 2/20/2014 I was at work and had my phone charging. When I was done that evening I went to send a text on google voice as I do hundreds of times a week. It refused to send. I cant get on facebook or gmail (anything internet) It says I am connected to (insert wifi network here) but it wont access anything which is screwing my world up. The only task I did the previous night was transfer my picsart pics to google drive. One other oddity...my lock screen wallpaper changed by itself to the daffodil?????

Someone suggested rooting my phone but I don't know if that is the answer.. Anyone????? Helllllp!
Thank you:-[

are any other devices on the wifi able to connect and function on the internet? I would suggest rebooting the router and modem first. Possibly an IP conflict on the device.
