Windows is requiring a PIN reset, which requires an internet connection, but none of the connected network adapters are working.

My computer is plugged in via an ethernet connection that I have confirmed is working and connected to the internet. But Windows is not using it. I have also plugged in a wifi dongle, all that does it enable and disable the airplane mode button (as in it controls if it may be clicked). I recently changed the cpu and motherboard in my computer. Which I think is why it is asking for a PIN reset, but as I am unable to connect to the internet I cannot reset it. I have tried renaming Wgc to Wgc.old. All that did is get rid of the message saying I must reset the pin, however, it is still requiring the pin to be reset.

 

Internet connection drops frequently, requires hard reset to fix

I don't think the router is at fault as you have mentioned that other devices working fine, I'm sure that you have the latest driver for your adapter, go to Device Manager, right click the adapter then select Properties, click Power Management tab, untick "Turn off this device to save power..." box.
You can also switch to Open DNS or google DNS, open Network & Sharing Centre, click your network, click Properties in WiFi status window(bottom left), highlight "Internet Protocol version IPV4..." and click Properties, change the DNS server as in my snip.
I'm using Opendns, if you want google dns, it's 8.8.8.8 Primary address and 8.8.4.4 Secondary.
I would suggest you to leave MTU settings alone for the time being.
