I have been having this problem for about a month or more now and it’s really bugging me.
I am continuously (at least every 24 to 48 hours) losing my internet connection.
I am connected wirelessly. The router and modem are approximately 16 feet away from me. Signal strength is excellent. When I lose access, I usually do either of the following:
Repair the connection (this sometimes works, but often it fails at disabling the network card)
So, when that doesn’t work, I usually go to Device Manager and disable and enable the wireless card there. When that process is able to be completed, I am back online. There are however many instances in which it freezes at the disabling of the card and I am left with no choice other than to restart my computer.
Unplugging and re-plugging in the router and modem worked as a solution today and at other times, but I usually do the previous steps first. Regardless, even if this was to always result in me getting my internet connection back, I shouldn’t be losing internet access so many times.
Below are ipcocnfig, tracert, and ping results that I got when I was unable to connect to the internet.
I really hope someone can help me figure out what’s going on.
Oh, one other thing; Usually I can still connect wirelessly on my phone when my computer won’t connect.
