I am using a D-Link N300 usb adapter on my desktop PC. I have used it for the last 5 yrs. Recently my internet provider (Comcast) upgraded my router. I was able to make all the connections and it says I am connected to the network, yet when I open a browser it says I am not connected.
It does seem to work 2% of the time.
Is there a setting I am missing? I even reinstalled the D-Link. No luck.
