I've had a 8 years old modem and a 4 years old router, which is why my ISP decided to hit me up with a new modem/router combo. I plugged it in, expecting stuff to work better but apparently it doesnt. My internet keeps disconnecting in random intervals, sometimes it's after 5 minutes, sometimes it's after an hour.
I am connected through WiFi, because there's no other option unfortunately.
First off, here's my rig:

My router model is: Comtrend Vi 3223 ADSL and VDSL Router
Internet adapter: Netgear WNA3100 N300 (USB)
My ISP: Tele2 (i live in Austria)
OS: Win10 x64
Drivers are up to date and the issue only happens on my PC, not on my smartphone, which is the only other device connected.
I tried resetting my router, disconnecting all sorts of connections for a couple minutes, resetting TCP/IP protocol.
I also checked the DHCP lease time, which is 24 hours, cant change that somehow, atleast 9999 or something didn't save, maybe setting it to 0 will set it to infinite. But since it's on 24 hours by default that shouldt cause my random disconnects every couple minutes either.
Since my new router/modem is not as ancient as my old one, ive found tons of new settings my ancient relic didn't have, so i might be missing something in there.
I really hope someone can help me out fixing this, since i need my PC for plenty AFK activities, and DCing will basically screw me over.
Cheers!
PS. dont blame me for my low end networking hardware lmao, i will replace it, but my even older devices provided a stable connection
