Hi all, my internet randomly keeps disconnecting. I am plugged in via a cable and it seems to be at random and can happen at night when I am not even using it, or during the day when I am doing something. Sometimes it happens 10+ times and sometimes I can go for a week without experiencing it.
Resetting the router fixes this problem but since my router takes 5 minutes to reset, it makes it difficult to really do anything quickly. Its important to note that the wireless continues to work when this happens, all phones/tablets/laptops work as normal, but my computer doesn't. Sometimes when I just leave my computer in a state of no internet, often when I come back hours later its fine again (sometimes, but not always)
I don't think it is my adapter, as when I get the disconnect it says that I am connected to an "Unidentified Network", and unplugging the cable and plugging it back in connects it again to this "Unidentified Network" with no internet access.
I originally thought it was due to a "power management" option on my adapter to turn itself off, but I just recently had a disconnect after disabling this option.
I am at my wits end, I have tried research on the net, but all topics relate to ALL internet getting disconnected, not just the LAN connection. I am so close to just buying a new router, but I have come here in the hopes that my current one can be saved (if it is the router at all)
Please help me
