Or, that's what it says with Windows Diagnostics. One of my laptops stopped connecting to the internet out of the blue. This happened right after an itunes update so after a little google searching and forum hunting, I noted that itunes seems to cause issues with the current incarnations. I deleted it and moved on.
I used:
ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
release/renew didn't work at all.
I also used the all-in-one fixer from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows-repair-all-in-one/dl/275/
When using it, I did all of the offered repairs and suggestions.
I have reinstalled both cards and downloaded completely fresh drivers. I read that Killer network cards can have troubles due to the added installed software. So, I deleted said software and installed the stand-alone driver.
I have reset the router/modem.
All of the other computers/laptops/phones connect fine, just not this one.
I have been at this for days and I have no clue what the problem could possibly be.
The information provided by ipconfig /all is as follows:

Any thoughts?
Thank you very very much in advance.
Edit:
It was suggested from a friend that I try these commands:
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
They didn't appear to fix anything.
