Every night at 2.45 am my internet cuts out, ON ONE DEVICE ONLY. I reinstalled windows on my computer today expecting the issue to dissapear but nope its still there.
I contacted ISP and they said it wasnt on their end, and although I live with my parents I am 16 and they wouldnt do this. So is it time for a new network card?

The thing that throws all of this off is that it only loses connection to the one network no others.

Being a parent does not make you immune to passive aggressive behaviors. Do you have any networking savvy siblings? Sibs are even more prone to it. Check with your household network manager for access to the router so you can look at the settings.

it only loses connection to the one network no others.

What networks are you referring to here? Do you mean one SSID but not other SSIDs on your wifi?
 
Do you mean it just drops and you can connect back by rebooting or something or do you mean you can not get back on for hours. Short disconnects are common for dhcp issues longer ones I would be looking at firewall setting on the pc or parental control settings in the router.

I cant connect by restarting and it lasts for hours, It isn't my Firewall nor is it the Parental Controls, as I contacted my Provider and they said that there was nothing in place to do this.

 
It can't be the provider since other devices work and they have no way to know what traffic comes from what device to them it all comes from the ip of your router. It is unlikely the nic card since it works on other connections. I would factory reset the router and reconfigure it with just the minimum stuff. Just the wireless security and leave pretty much everything else default.

After this is has to be some software on your PC. Digging thought the event logs may give you some idea. You also need to see if you are actually losing the all the networking or just the internet. You should be able to ping or even log into the router.
