When I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 my internet connection has been fine, but when I downgraded back to Windows 7 from Windows 10, I started to have internet troubles. I have reinstalled the driver and tried different versions, and even tried updating it's software. No luck, My internet connection will just become Limited, and I will have no internet except for a few websites such as Google. So everytime it happens I have to disconnect from the network and reconnect back and then it'll just loop and happen again. I've tried troubleshooting while it was doing it and Windows could not find a answer. I have a HP Pavilion G7.

Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premuim
Intel(R) Core (TM) i3 CPU M370 @2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz
6.00 GB (5.80 GB usable)
64-bit operating system
 
Solution
I have the same thing.
It's my cheap router disagreeing with my intel wifi adapter.
I can fix it by setting my wifi adapter to only run at wireless G.
Completely solved it by replacing my router.

Have you tried updating your routers firmware?
Do any other devices on your network have the same issue?

EDIT: It may be easier to factory reset your router. Would be annoying if you have a lot of settings. But may help if you have it at almost defaults.

None of the other devices in my house have the issue except this one. I had a old router which I had a lot of issues with, then I got a new router and had less problems but I still have this internet issue. I don't think a filmware upgrade would help since none of the other devices are having this issue.
