Hi there, quite a while ago our power went out during a huge storm. Ever since this my lan connection has frequently disconnected and I game heavily moreover it's annoying to have dropouts in general, I troubleshot it and I received the error in the title. I have a wireless USB reciever for my PC however I get 113mbp/s with LAN and only 70mbp/s, whilst they're both very fast it's a pointless drop in speed. So I did what any rational person would do prior to making a thread like this, I took to the internet and checked everywhere for solutions and spent hours doing things that fixed the issue for others and helped me in no way.

I have tried all the ip release things, changing my DNS server etc. etc.

If it's any consolation my LAN isn't perfect anymore when plugged in, if I do a speedtest there's huge drops, I will post a picture related to it. I tried a different LAN cord and even tried a different router to no avail. I am sick of having frequent drop outs on my WIFI and if I change to my LAN connection the exact same thing, but with internet speed issues, I mainly want someone to verify whether this is a problem with settings, or if it's possible my motherboard LAN port was damaged during the power outage.

Thanks!

I appreciate your copy paste of what I've googled and looked at before like I mentioned, moreover I did mention I've tried these things, I was hoping someone would reply with some steps they could think of besides uninstalling the adapater drivers, flushing the DNS bla bla, resetting my modem, changing my DNS etc.

The most likely reason is some issue with the connection to your house or the router. It is highly unlikely any kind of failure would affect both the wireless adapter and the wired port in your computer.

You can try a easy one of change the DNS in the adapter settings to 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.2. Highly unlikely but it would fix many DNS issues since these are not using your ISP DNS. I suspect the message is just another symptom of a larger issue if your speed is also affected

Use wired to start since wireless gets strange errors even when working correctly that could hide any real problems.

First you want to ping the router address with a continuous ping. It should be the gateway in the ipconfig display. If you have any type of errors on this one it means you computer actually has a issue or the router itself has a issue.

Next run a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 or any other address you like. You now want to ping the ip you find directly after your router ip. This should be the first ip in the provider network. if you see errors in this there is some issue with the connection between your house and the ISP. It could be the router/modem. You can continue checking ip until you find one that you start seeing a lot of packet loss.

It is most likely the connection between your house and the ISP. Something could have happened to the cable or maybe a power cycle between the modem and the ISP did not correctly renegotiate everything. In any case you need to call the ISP to get this type of issue fixed.

since you had power outage it could that the router had a overpower when they put it back do you have a surge protector for the router and computer system ,i would try another router for a test with the dsl and did you try to plug the computer directly to the isp modem to see if it does it .
