Lan and wifi connection switching randomly

Am running Windows 10 homewith HP laptop. I am connected directly to my cable/phone modem and, also, have installed Netgear router connected to modem. My internet connection keeps on changing from LAN to Netgear wifi. It is bothersome when trying to download and surf. Not sure whether it's a Windows problem or Netgear problem. Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Internet connection through wired LAN

I tried to connect to internet through wired lan. Actually I could connect to same lan with a wifi and even I could access internet through a connection at the back of wifi router(i.e.wired). But I could not directly connect to internet through lan wire(i.e.
ethernet) cable. Presently it was solved automatically after some time but if the problem arises again what should I do?

I could connect to the same lan through wifi router and mobile was also getting network with router. Only my PC could not connect with cable to ethernet. When I have run trouble shooting, it has shown me that I didnot have IP adress available and DHCP not
available. For the second time it has shown me that www.microsoft.com is not reachable.

So please tell me tips that I should follow when I face the problem again.

Please ignore my spelling mistakes

 

Xfinity Wifi showing up in my routers available internet connections ?

I recently found that "xfinity wifi" is showing up in my available internet access list as an openly available option.
I have comcast xfinity hi speed internet as my internet provider but have never had it show up on the routers available connections list before. The home network I set up years ago has a different name.

I am puzzled why this free open network has suddenly appeared in the list. As it requires no password I think there is a possibility its use might present a security risk
Is this a new Xfinity feature??
