    Internet disconnecting, first with WiFi, now with Ethernet, constant


    So I have been in the same house, with the same ATT router for the past 3 years. A couple months ago I started having WiFi connectivity issues on my PC only. My wife computer who is using a USB Wifi adapter continued to work fine, as did all of our other devices in the house. The WiFi would intermittently just stop working and I would get the "No internet, secured" error. I tried various steps to fix it via google but ultimately going into network settings and selecting "reset network" and restarting the PC was the only fix. This was always temporary, and after a short period of use I would lose connection and have to repeat this process. I figured the WiFi adapter that I was using on my PC was going out so I just ran an Ethernet cable directly from the router to the PC and reset the network. At first, I had a good connection but soon experienced the same issue. I now have to reset the network and restart my PC multiple times a day because my internet will just stop working constantly. It's only on my PC, everything else in the house, WiFi or direct Ethernet connection is working fine. Some other notes about when this occurs now that I am using Ethernet connection. When the connection drops, things quit loading obviously but my PC still shows a working internet connection when I go to the network settings. When I run the windows network repair it fails to find any issues. Resetting the network seems to be the only fix, but it is very temporary. Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1110) Any tips on fixing this? Thanks

    :)

    Make Windows 10 connect/disconnect to WiFi based on Ethernet connection status

    Steps:

    1. Go to Control Panel\ All Control Panel Items\ Network and Sharing Center > click on 'Change adapter settings' then use the 'alt button' to show menus and select Advanced Settings...
    2. Under Connections section, select Ethernet, and use the arrows to the right to move Ethernet above WiFi.
    3. Click OK.

    Windows will now prefer the Ethernet over the WiFi for connecting to the internet. This should apply for Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.

    Constant ethernet disconnects and reconnects on Windows Home 64-bit

    Hello,

    I have a new laptop running Windows 10 Home 64-bit. The problem I am having concerns the ethernet connection.

    I am getting constant disconnects with the ethernet. I am running a connectivity monitor to track these disconnects and in the past 12-hours it has disconnected 21 times. I have gone through the standard "fixes" for such an issue:

    1) Changed the power management settings on the Realtek PCle Family Controller.

    2) Updated the driver

    3) Uninstalled and reinstalled the ethernet card (doing the above two steps again).

    4) Checked to make sure it isn't a modem issue (there have been no disconnects on two other computers, even after swapping ethernet cables).

    5) Installed all Windows updates (this seemed to solve the issue for 1-day, then suddenly the problems started again).

    Please help me with this issue. It is beyond frustrating when trying to play MMORPGS.

    Salud,

    Jon
