I can stay connected to the internet through wireless with no issues (other than it being slower). However, once I plug in my Ethernet cord from my router to my computer it will work fine for a while and then randomly stop. All I have to do to get it back is to right click and hit troubleshoot problems. I have 2 computers both using the same type of Ethernet cord yet this one is the only one that has the issue. The other computer works perfectly fine. If you need anymore ifnfo that will help just let me know and I will get it for you :)

Modem - Motorola Surfboard sb6121
Router - Cisco Linksys E2500

"This is what it says at the end of the troubleshoot when my internet comes back on.

The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken Detected

The network gateway is accessible, but Windows couldn’t receive network traffic from the Internet.
Your broadband modem is experiencing connectivity issues Not run

Restart your broadband modem: 1. Unplug or turn off the modem. 2. After all the lights on the modem are off, wait at least 10 seconds. 3. Turn the modem on or plug it back into the power outlet. To restart a modem that has a built-in battery, press and quickly release the Reset button. If this doesn't fix the problem, contact your Internet service provider.

6 The default gateway is not available Fixed

The default gateway is a device that connects a local network or computer to the Internet. A broadband modem or router is usually the default gateway."

How do I fix this so that it will not happen anymore? Thanks in advance :) Any help is appreciated.

I have hibernate and sleep turned off as well as my power setting being set to not turn off my Ethernet connection.

Running out to bestbuy, will let you know if that solves the issue.

edit: My bestbuy does not carry anything and the closes microcenter / frys is over an hour away. Going to just order it online and install it when it gets here. Will update this post once it gets here.
